The Story Siren and her 2011 Debut Challenge inspired me to do something with a Canadian spin. So, I created Oh MG YA Canada.
The challenge is to read 12 MG or YA books by Canadian authors by the end of 2011. You can join anytime by adding a comment.
But, if adding yet another challenge to your plate isn't for you, just pick one, two, three--whatever fits or intrigues you. Or maybe add a Canadian title to one of your current challenges.
If you have suggestions or requests for interviews and features you can contact me. Please include Oh MG YA Canada in the subject line.

Authors for you to check out
The following will be doing (and have done) interviews and giveaways with me:

Authors I've read, am reading and plan on reading:
Have you read 'Getting Revenge on Lauren Wood?' It was so awesome!
ReplyDeleteAngela @ The Bookshelf Muse
Hey--I have not and I must. Have you watched Eileen's videos with MC Lauren giving advice? Oh my--too funny.
ReplyDeleteUm, this you? Yay

What a super and ambitious list - way to go! I look forward to being interviewed!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Jan. Thanks for having me.
ReplyDeleteWhat are the parameters of the challenge? To read a certain list/amount over a particular amount of time?
I'm a debut author, too, at least a debut children's novelist. So you can kiss two birds with the same lips! (my alternative to killing birds with a stone)
Danika
Wow! This is impressive, Deb. You rock!!
ReplyDeleteJan--look forward to interviewing you, too!
ReplyDeleteDanika--well there is a bit of an oversight on my part! Will add that to the post, going to set it to one MG or YA a month for 2011 I like "kiss two birds with the same lips". lol!
Thanks, Janet!
And Deb, fantastic idea here. Sorry I didn't put that in my post earlier. I blame the Nyquil.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Maripat and no worries, lol...yeah blame it on the Nyquil I say! Hmmm, maybe visit this cold on one of your characters, then give _them_ nyquil, see what happens. Hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of everyone designing reading challenges for what their focus and passions are about! And it's great to see more attention paid to Canadian MG and YA - do let me know if any of the books you read have LGBTQ characters or themes, and I'll talk about them at my blog, too!
ReplyDeleteNamaste,
Lee
Hey Lee,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and absolutely on LGBTQ Canada--I will let you know as I search and read!
I'm in! Here's a link to my blog post :)
ReplyDeleteI actually started my own Canadian YA challenge when I couldn't find one. ^_^
ReplyDeleteYours is more organized though, with an icon and everything and I've already read 3 books that qualify so I'll be joining you.

Hey Kat and Jenjoou-glad you found me! It looks like a case of great lib-rains think alike (bad joke, sorry).
ReplyDeleteGreat job Deb! I am in with the challenge. This will get me even more interested in Ya authors and books. Thx Deb
