December date is a Tuesday as well - Dec.4th

Don't forget to mark your calendar as well for a  Tuesday in December - Carol is hosting and her blog post says she's fine with the switch of dates so Tuesday December 4th is at her house!

November Book Club Details

Based on the feedback on the blog, November's book club will be on Tuesday November 6th. We will meet at the location of the first meeting of our club:

Il Gatto Nero, 720 College Street (Crawford) at 7:00pm. The restaurant is 3 blocks east of Ossington. 

I have made a reservation for 10 people. Please let us know if you will be attending.

Dawn will facilitate the discussion and Natalie will come with her book choice from the Giller Prize list for our December read. See you all soon.

October book choice

Hi all,

Thanks again Jacqueline for such a great dinner!  So, seeing that my first two choices for this months book were so fabulous that you all have already read them, I had to go back to the drawing board.

I think this choice came to me in a vision...just like Anastasia Steele (if you don't know who she is, your either denying it or your depriving yourself....) I woke up late one night after a dream where i was hearing: Nelly Oleson....Nelly Oleson...over and over again, and only to see a tall woman's figure at the end of my bed that vaguely resembled Carolyn B!

So, this months choice will be Confessions of a Prairie Bitch: How I survived Nellie Oleson's and Learned to Love Being Hated by Alison Arngrim. It is supposed to be quite funny.

Happy reading!

Dawn

Great dinner and conversation!

Who knew eating cheese & chocolate could bring such satisfaction... yes the other bits like veggies and sausages enhanced the meal along with a variety of interesting wines but truly cheese & chocolate did it for me!  Jacqueline thanks for introducing me to a new type of cheese, I felt very European just like the book although I don't buy into the idea Hotel du Lac was an institution! 

Carol - I liked this book so does that mean you didn't? You were missed - have fun in Italy!

Date Change?

Please check your calendars and see if it's possible for November & December Book club to switch to the first TUESDAY of the month... That would mean the dates would be Tuesday November November 6th & Tuesday December 4th for book club.  November is at the restaurant on College but December is at Carol's place so we'll only switch December if it works for Carol.
