October 1st is next Monday!

For those of you who thought there was plenty of time to still to read Judy's book I thought I'd give you a gentle reminder that book club is next Monday!  I'm personally very excited about hosting and meeting Judy in person as I don't believe I've ever read about a more interesting person who's life so far has been truly spectacular!  I found this a super hard read at times but also learned so much reading about her history and therefore all of our collective history. 

This book was my selection but I've asked Jane to facilitate the discussion on my behalf as hosting and facilitating is too much to take on.  I know last month we had a heated discussion around what facilitating a discussion actually means and although I know we have divided opinions on how facilitation should occur I leave it to Jane to define and lead.  The two hours of time will go quickly and after finishing the book there is so much to discuss we absolutely need categories of discussion or we will be chatting until the wee small hours of the morning!

Plan is to likely cook a gluten free pasta (Judy is Gluten intolerant) along with regular pasta dish, salad etal... if there's anything you need to remind me that you don't eat please do so as that's always helpful.  Looking forward to seeing everyone next week!

Happy Fall... rode my bike today to work and need to wear gloves, yuck!

Some book club business...

It was decided at last night’s meeting to do our annual reset in December so here are some additional hosting and book selectors to get us through to December... I’ve switched a few things up by following last year’s cycle of Book selectors to ensure everyone has their turn!

October Host = Marney / October Book selector = Carolyn

November Host = Mariana / November Book selector = Julia

December Host = Laura / December Book selector = Miriana

Fall has arrived...

Carol thanks for hosting a lovely evening of spirited debate... whether challenging Christine on her interpretation of the university years in the book, discussing our behaviour at previous book clubs with previous author guest or deciding where Natalie should purchase her second home (PEI vs Simcoe) we certainly all are opinionated!  And just so we are clear, that is what I love about this book club... we are all passionate about everything but at the end of the day we come together to discuss the book we read and connect those readings to our live.

  Next month is hosted at my place and the book we are discussing is Judy Rebick’s book “Heroes in my head”.  Bookclub is Monday Oct. 1 - see you then!

Hi friends

Sorry for the delay in posting.  I am in the mountains and I have no service most of the time out here.  I am in a hotel now so can post.
Book club is at my house on Monday.  1028 Queen Street East.  Parking is free and the door (black with graffiti) will be open.  Don't forget the stairs are steep!  Hoping to sit outside as the house was painted while I was gone so may be smelly and all the art is on the floor.  We'll see.
I land at noon and have to go right to a tech scout so I will likely be ordering in.  Who is coming and would you prefer portugese chicken, dim sum/bao or sushi?
Please let me know if coming and your preference.
See you soon.
