Due to the new coronavirus, (COVID-19) we were motivated to try book club on the Zoom application, and surprisingly we managed to get almost everyone operational. In the circumstances our conversation had a lot to do with the technology and only a little about the book, The Dutch House.The rest of our talk was about COVID-19 of course. Because of this catastrophic pandemic, book stores and public libraries are closed. But the Toronto Public Library can still provide digital books, audiobooks and other wonderful online options to watch, to explore and to learn. Given the restrictions on other activities, we now may have time to do some of this.
Our next book will be Heroes in my Head: a memoir by Judy Rebick. You can download Judy Rebick reading her memoir from the Toronto Public Library. I don't recall if we changed the date, from Thursday, April 3rd, but we did make an assumption that it would be on Zoom, so you can stay in your pyjamas, and provide your own laptop, snacks and wine.
The book after that is The Long Petal of the Sea by Isabel Allende. The date was originally Thursday, May 28th. Again, we have to assume that it will be in a Zoom chat room.
Stay at home friends and be safe.
