Canadian Author Challenge 2010

Jennifer from Mrs. Q: Book Addict is hosting her first challenge.  Here is what she has to say:

Canada is a culturally diverse country with two official languages and many ethnicities. Many of these influences are found in Canadian Literature. There are a number of notable writers and I thought this challenge would be interesting.

This challenge will run from January 1 2010 -December 31, 2010.

There will be four different commitment levels.

3

When signing up please specify which reading level you plan to challenge yourself with. You do not have to be a book blogger to accept the challenge.

You do not need to specify a list when signing up, the goal is to find new books and authors to read.

I’m hosting this challenge, because it’s one I would want to join myself. I am Canadian and I’ve read a lot of great Canadian literature. I also have a lot of Canadian books on my shelves and I thought this would motivate me to get them read.

I am not Canadian, but I did grow up less than hour from the border so I feel some connection to Canada and I have been meaning to check out some Canadian authors.  Most notably, Margaret Atwood, which I amazingly have yet to read.  I am going to sign up at the 3 level because I’m afraid of planning all my 2010 reading through challenges, but I hope to hit a higher number.

Everyone go sign up and join me!
