OH (MG & YA) Canada! Reading Challenge

Coming soon, have most everything lined up including interview schedule and giveaways (and a # for twitter #ohmgyacanada  <oh yeah, I am so original:) 
Stay tuned!


This is my so far reading/author list for the 2011 MG and YA Canadian Reading Challenge I will host with giveaways and book reviews. It is a combination of Debut, New Release and Old and Re-Reads of Favorites. Over the next few weeks the list will grow, of course. If you'd like to join me, please leave a comment (or just pick an author to learn a little more about and one of their books to read and enjoy). I have a good friend who is going to design a logo for us!


** Quick Note** This list is still rough and although, in some cases, I only have one book listed, many of the authors have much, much more, so check out their sites and or blogs!

    Looks like I should add this to my list of New Years Resolutions. A resolution I really must keep (never mind losing weight).
