Janice (jamasc) I gave both The Birth House and I Heard the Owl Call My Name 5 stars.

Even more reason to read them, if you liked them, Janice. :)

Is that because Amanda Leduc lives in Ontario now? I read somewhere this book is set in Victoria, so it's on my BC list ;-)

Last I heard, she lived in Hamilton, Ontario. I think she mentioned on her blog that she moved, but I'm not sure where.

Amanda told me a minute or two ago on Twitter that she lives in Ontario.

Janice (jamasc) Are you reading according to setting or where the author is from... or a combination of the two?

I'm mostly reading according to setting. I might throw in a couple books based on author, especially if I can't find any based on where the book is set, though.

Janice (jamasc) That's a good approach. One of those books like Beauty Tips from Moose Jaw: Travels in Search of Canada, where the writer travels across Canada and hits just about every province could be a filler for that purpose too.

You're right, one of the book reviews on Goodreads said Instructions for an Inexperienced Lover was set in Victoria, so I switched the book from Ontario to British Columbia.
