Hi Everyone!
I'm very much looking forward to hosting book club next Monday, June 4th at 7pm.
We're out of our house because of some basement renovations so I will be hosting at my Mum's apartment (she is conveniently out of town). The address is 485 Huron Street, apartment 1402.
Please let me know of allergies/restrictions.
Hope to see you all Monday!
Julia

A small yet opinionated group...
There were only five of us tonight but I believe we kept the noise factor high enough that Christine’s men feel traumatized having book club at their house which is only fair since Peter is still recovering from last month!
Christine thank you for hosting a lovely evening of conversation and delicious food. I think one of my favourite moments from tonight was when Carolyn started describing her meditation retreat and Christine was full of questions, leaning in to learn more!
Next month’s book is in the post below, enjoy the read and see you all then.
(Jane - fantastic news about Judy R. In October... very cool!)

Judy Rebick book now on for Oct 1/ June 4 is "My Name is Lucy Barton."
Hi all. I ran into Judy last night and we got it sorted out. She's too busy with the tour right now, but can come to our book club to discuss "Heroes in my Head" for our October meeting, which is October 1 (first Monday). I think it is worth waiting for her. We haven't set that up yet in the schedule because it is too far ahead. So that will be my book choice for next year! And we don't know who is hosting yet, but I'd rather it wasn't me since I promised to pick her up.
Is that ok with everyone?
For the upcoming book club in June, which is July 4 at Julia's, I choose, "My Name is Lucy Barton," by Elizabeth Strout. I'm not sure if she's difficult - it's a matter of perspective. But there certainly is one difficult woman in the book. It's a straight up novel, kind of nice even, almost heartwarming. I thought it might be a nice change and she is an excellent writer.
Apologies to Nats who is already in Spain and is now reading ahead for this coming October. But Lucy Barton is a fast read.
See you June 4 at Julia's.

Shocker...
My job has moved our shoot day from Sunday to Monday due to location availability. As a result I can't make Monday. Christine has agreed to swap hosting duties with me so Monday will be at her house.
I will send discussion questions via email.
SO lame.
Have fun!

Hey! I'm away again for the upcoming book club and I'm supposed to choose for June. Prompted by Barb, I'm choosing "Heroes in my Head" by Judy Rebick.

I have invited Judy to join us, although I have not yet heard back. It is possible she may say she can come at a later date, in which case I'll have to switch with someone (again) but I think it will be worth the chaos to have the chance to talk with her. She's really great. Hoping I hear from her soonish. Whether or not she can come, I think the book is going to generate quite a bit of discussion.
If you find the book engaging, she has been interviewed several times about it. Here is a link to CBC.
