Welcome

A Bookaholic, Pro-life, Conservative, Catholic, with Asperger's, who reads a lot. These are the ramblings of the books I read or read aloud to my energetic Autistic 11yo. I love reading almost any book from classics to mysteries to fantasy to ARCs. I sometimes go through stages of "genre love", get addicted to manga and graphic novels or get caught up in reading ARCs, but you'll find I read a wide variety of books, both fiction and non-fiction. I tend to post a lot of reviews of juvenile/teen books but I still do a lot of adult reviews as well. I read well over 200 books a year, but haven't made it to 300 yet!

Canadian Book Challenge 5

I'm a little late in posting this, considering it started July 1st, but I've just got around to posting my first book for the competition.  The rules are the same as always:  read 13 books by June 30th, 2012.  Over 13 is fine.  Use your own definition of Canadian Author or Canadian Book.  I plan to read as many Canadian Authored books as possible, and perhaps a few Canadian illustrated graphic novels.  The Challenge is hosted as ever by the brilliant book host, John Mutford, over at Book Mine Set.  Here is my list starting July 1st, 2011.
