New Canadian Library and other Canadian Lit Challenge discussion

For January the book is Over Prairie Trails but from February onwards I would like the group to have nominations. We now have a few more members so I am open to discussing what is the group choice. I have many books on the booklist and I will probably nominate the next one of the list each month but will leave the thread open for others to post. I will open that thread now just to get us kicked off for the new year but normally I will do it at the start of each month. Happy Christmas and happy reading everyone.

You can nominate any NCL book that you are interested in reading and discussing with the group. It can be a book already on the group bookshelf not yet read or any other NCL book. Please remember that an author's works cannot be chosen twice in challenge year.
If you nominate a book please also state if you would be willing to lead the discussion if that book is chosen. You do not have to but if you would like to, that would be great.

My nomination for this month is Man Descending

I would be happy to lead

I would like to nominate Barometer Rising by Hugh MacLennan which I really want to re-read.

I was going to nominate Turvey but I will read that on my own.
I would be glad to lead the discussion on Barometer Rising if it wins.

Barometer Rising has been chosen for February lead by Rosemarie,

I look forward to reading this Canadian classic with the group.
