Welcome Summer


Happy National Indigenous Peoples Day! 

In perfect weather, on the day before the summer solstice we met on Lynda's lovely back porch to talk about Nothing But the Truth by Maria Henein. The view of Lynda's leafy garden, and sharing snacks with friends only encouraged our conversation. Thank you to Lynda for hosting a pleasurable afternoon. 

Next month we will be at Jo's to talk about Run Towards the Danger by Sarah Polley. This will be on  Wednesday, July 12 at 1 pm.

On Thursday afternoon, August 10, we will be at Marian's condo. The book will be Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman.
