March 2020 - Our 100th book!

Spring is in the air and we are at our 100th book!     I am working on next year's line up and I have received all kinds of wonderful suggestions.   There might even be two years worth.

The next meeting will be  March 11, 2020 at 8pm.      

February 2020 - Washington Black by Esi Edugyan

February's book club selection is Washington Black by Esi Edugyan.

The book club set has been reserved and we should have enough copies.
If not, you can pick up a copy at Chapters or at the Toronto Public Library.

We'll be meeting at Gail's on February 11 at 8pm.

There are lots of great reviews - here, here, and here.

January 2020 - Red Notice

The next book club meeting will be January 14, 2020.     Enjoy the holidays!

January's book is Red Notice by Bill Browder.  We don't have a book club set for this one, so everyone has to find their own copy.

You can borrow one from the Toronto Public Library or buy a copy at Chapters-Indigo or on Amazon.

And if you want to read ahead, here are the upcoming books:
February - Washington Black by Esi Edugyan
March - Sing, Unburied Sing by Jesmyn Ward

November 2019 - A Man Called Ove

No sooner have we finished with October's book then here we are madly rushing to get into our November book. This is one I've been waiting to read for years. Multiple people have recommended it. I'm so happy that we have got the book club set at last.

Our book is A Man Called Ove,  written by Fredrik Backman.    

Book Club meeting will be on November 12, 2019.    

The next meeting after that will be in January.
