    I decided to start the challenge off with a quick read of a great picture book.

    And mine isn't a quick, but the 6th and long awaited Lane Winslow series mystery set in Canada's W Coast Mtns. Talented author, Iona Whishaw, telling WWII espionage experiences of her mum.

    Happy Canada Day Readers !!

      I am not familiar with that series, but it sounds good. Thanks as well for the reminder to share the challenge on Twitter. Don't know why I hadn't twigged to that myself!

      Audiobooks definitely count as reading! I have certain series I prefer to read in audio format as well, like Louise Penny's Armand Gamache and Alan Bradley's Flavia de Luce

      Just saw this comment now Shonna :) Having read through most of Louise Penny's books (just a few left to go) I can't imagine listening to one now (I think it would mess with me). But I haven't read anything by Alan Bradley, but is on my list, so may start listening to that!

    I missed finishing this book by a few days for the 12th challenge and it would have given me the 13/13. This however gives me a head start on this challenge. Book 1/13

    My first one of the new challenge-year was Malcolm Lowry's Under the Volcano. Great, but I trust the next one will be less grim!
