The 8th Canadian Book Challenge ran from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015 and the goal was to read 13 or more Canadian books in the year. The previous year I tried for 50 and only got to 45, so tried for 50 again this year, but only made it to 26. I also tried to read books set in different parts of the country, trying to hit every province and at least one territory. Didn't do so well there either.
