#IReadCanadian: Books For Readers Of All Ages November 2, 2022


I read Canadian. 

I read Canadian all year round. 

I read Canadian for readers of all ages. 

I want everyone to read Canadian. 

The books on the lists below are ones I have read since the last #IReadCanadianDay in February 2021. If you click on the category heading, it will take you to a GoodReads list of these books. From there you can find out more about them. 

If you aren't already passionate about reading Canadian, I expect that books from the following lists will get you there.
