Canada Day Blog Hop (International Giveaway!)
Sunday, July 1st, is Canada Day! It's my country's 145th birthday!
Since I live in Japan it's a little hard to celebrate sometimes. No firework displays or big neighbourhood parties around here! It's a DIY holiday. But I think it's important for my kids to celebrate it, so we have a little BBQ every year. Nothing like saying happy birthday to my country by chowing down on a bunch of meat (the best is Alberta Beef, of course!), eh.
I want to celebrate it here on the blog too. As my regular readers know, I have a thing for Canlit, especially Cankidlit. Yes, that means picture books. I love to share. So I want to share the best Canadian books I have read so far in 2012 with you.
Through the Canada Day Blog Hop I am hosting an international giveaway. Please choose one of the following books that you would like to read, enter the Rafflecopter below, and one winner will get their choice delivered straight to their home!
My favourite three reads by Canucks so far in 2012 are:
Virginia Wolf, by Kyo Maclear and Isabelle Arsenault
Stray Love, by Kyo Maclear
Larf, by Ashley Spires
Two picture books and a novel, the best of modern Canlit. -which of these would you choose? Enter below! Please do not post your email address or other personal information in the comments, Rafflecopter takes care of all of that!

Hop on over to every one of the Canada Day Blog Hop participants! Each of these blogs is hosting a giveaway to celebrate our country's birthday. The next person after me on the Blog Hop is Anna at Dolce Pazzia!
