This Reader's club is dedicated to reading books written by Canadian Authors. Books will be chosen in advance, so you will have plenty of time to read them. Books will be all genres (but mostly fiction). The only thing they will have in common is that the author must be Canadian. That doesn't mean we'll read only Margaret Atwood or Robertson Davies, but new Canadian Authors. Some will be from smaller publishers, some will be new writers.
