Throughout the summer, I participated in a Cross-Canada Reading Challenge. You might wonder what the appeal to reading books across Canada is and I can say that I picked up (and enjoyed) some books that I may not have ever come across. It required a bit of research and planning but was a fun “virtual” trip across Canada as we celebrated Canada’s sesquicentennial.
Here is the final list of books that I enjoyed:
British Columbia: Keeper’n Me by Richard Wagamese
Alberta: The Outlander (Gil Adamson)
Saskatchewan: Juliet in August (Dianne Warren)
Manitoba: The Fire-Dwellers (Margaret Laurence)
Ontario: The Weekend Effect (Katrina Onstad)
Quebec: The Tin Flute (Gabrielle Roy)
New Brunswick: The Town that Drowned (Riel Nason)
Nova Scotia: The Piano Maker (Kurt Palka)
Prince Edward Island: Rainbow Valley and Rilla of Ingleside (L.M. Montgomery)
Newfoundland: Kit’s Law (Donna Morrissey)
Nunavut: Consumption (Kevin Patterson)
North West Territory: The Lesser Blessed (VanCamp)
Yukon: Drifting Home (Pierre Berton)
