Anyway, this week I reached my final destination at Lake Huron with the 13th book read between 1 July 2011 and 30 June 2012.
My own restriction is that each book must be crime fiction and you'll see from my list below that I haven't really broadened my horizons too much. Alan Bradley, Louise Penny, Peter Robinson and Rick Mofina are old favourites. However L.R. Wright and William Deverell were new to me. If I participate in the Challenge again in the next 12 months, I need to find some new authors to locate.

You did well. I have a difficult time finding new Canadian Authors to "like".
ReplyDeleteWell done on completing the challenge! Are you going to participate next year as well?
ReplyDeleteMy mom loves mysteries and I am always on the lookout for good Canlit to send her. I know Louise Penny and Alan Bradley but the rest are new to me. Thanks so much for sharing!
Good for you! Here's one for you, Linwood Barclay. He's great!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I just finished in the nick of time myself. One of my favorites is the John Cardinal series by Toronto author Giles Blunt, and I really do need to read Peter Robinson.
ReplyDeleteYes, the Giles Blunt series is excellent! As is the Peter Robinson and Louise Penny series.....I've read some LR Wright and enjoyed it too. Here's some more: Gail Bowen, Maureen Jennings (set in 19th cent Toronto), Barbara Fradkin, and Inger Ash Wolfe.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on finishing the Challenge!
