Tomorrow, Wednesday, November 2nd, is I Read Canadian Day. This national day is geared toward raising awareness and celebrating the richness, diversity and breadth of Canadian literature. Though the day is heavily geared toward celebrating Canadian books for young people, all Canadians are challenged to ‘Read Canadian’ for 15 minutes and to share their experience at their library, in their schools, at home with their families, or on social media. Leading by example is a great way to get young people to read. So here are a few titles for adult book lovers written by Canadian authors.
The Maid by Nita Prose
The Vanished Days by Susanna Kearsley
The Lost Kings by Tyrell Johnson
A Season on Vancouver Island by Bill Arnott
Fayne by Ann-Marie MacDonald
Looking for Jane by Heather Marshall
Mindful of Murder by Susan Juby
The Witches of Moonshyne Manor by Bianca Marais
Happy reading!
Thanks for the list, Laura! It’s funny, I just received this in my email – Friday, November 4. I guess my internet server is in snail mail mode!
Thanks for letting me know, Debra. I’ll look into the timing because the issue could very well be at my end. I also get notifications when the blog goes live, and mine was delayed this week too.
I just got this too but it is never too late to let people know about good Canadian books!
Thanks, Darlene. I’ll have to look into and sort out the delayed delivery times next week.
