Ready, Set, Read, eh!

The Canadian Reading Challenge is official on! Hosted by myself, Marie and Sarah. Grab a book by your favorite Canadian author or one that's set in the land above America and start reading. Remember, to complete the challenge you only need to read and review one book then add that review to the linky list I've included in this post - anymore is added points to the giveaway also included in this post. Don't forget to post your review to the linky list (no blog is required. You can post the review anywhere.)

More in depth details about the challenge are here.

As for me, I have three books I'm hoping to read. I've known Marie for quite some time and yet I haven't read any of her books. (Bad Patty!) I'm using this challenge to change that. I have Blue Sky Days and Undressed and one of those will be read! Failure is not an option.

​Also on my list is Stars in Her Eyes by Clare C. Marshall. It wasn't until this challenge that I learned she was Canadian. The final book I hope to read is Shift, the second book in M.R. Merrick's Protector series. I read Exiled ages ago when it was first released and loved it, but procrastinated reading book 2. Now the whole series is released so I don't have to wait to know what happens next. Hate that about series. Waiting sucks!

Don't stop reading yet, I have a few other books I might not get around to reading, but want to give a shout out too. Clare also wrote Within.

Trinity Hartell’s life changed after the accident. Left with irreversible brain damage, she becomes a burden to her mother, a cause for heartbreak for her boyfriend Zack, and a flattened obstacle for her best friend, Ellie.

But then she starts writing. Perhaps it’s a coincidence that the psychotic, murdering protagonist of her novel bears a striking similarity to the charming Wiley Dalton, a mayoral candidate in the upcoming election.

Or, perhaps not...

There there is Avery Olive's book, A Stiff Kiss.

Who knew kissing a corpse would change everything? Death always hits Xylia Morana too close to home, but she likes it that way. She hangs out with the terminally ill, attends random funerals, and every so often, when the weather is right, she sleeps in open graves. But after Landon Phoenix, the high school hottie, dies in Xylia's hands, she sneaks into the morgue to say goodbye. How could she know stealing a kiss from his corpse would wake him up? With Landon returned to the living and suddenly interested in Xylia, life has new meaning. But what Xylia doesn't realize is that by kissing Landon back to life, she's thrown Life and Death off balance. The underworld demands a body, and it might just have to be Xylia's this time.

Let's not forget the rest of M.R. Merrick's books. There's also Thea Atkinson - a favorite Canadian author of mine. There are no excuses not to join this challenge. You know you have Canadian authors in your TBR pile. Go on, read them.

EH!

Ready, set, read, eh? lol I'd like to deny the eh thing but I do say it A LOT.
I've read Within and it was good. I'd like to read A Stiff Kiss but I've put myself on a bit of a book-buying ban since I've been buying SO many books lately. And you're right, there's no excuse not to join this challenge! *points and glares at everyone who hasn't signed up* I bet a lot of people would be surprised to find out certain authors were Canadian...I just learned today that two authors I've known of for awhile/have their books on my tbr are Canadian. Now I just need to get reading...

After tomorrow I don't work until next week at the day job, so I have no excuse not to get reading at least one of my chosen books.

Indeed. It's just like actors and actresses or musicians. Some I never knew were Canadian.
