In case you are wondering about some titles, authors, here are some possibles and a link to a round-up of great Canadian Reads I did a while ago:
Just Deb: Thankful (and recommending) my recent Canadian reads.
I will be blogging my Canadian author love throughout the months of February, March and April to help you grow a TBR pile for the read-a-thon.
You could take a wander through past interviews and features.
