Hello Ladies:

I believe we had agreed to not meet for the summer - correct me if I’m wrong though and we can set something up.
We are supposed to be meeting September 17 which is just before the Timothy Fall fest. Would a week or two earlier (sept 3, 10) or week after (24) work better?
Also, I don't think we have a book chosen. I tried opening the document that Courtenay sent awhile ago with the categories but it’s being stubborn, so if someone else can let us know what type of book then we can get some ideas going - unless we had one already picked, in which case could someone let me know what it is so I can get started on it?
Let's get something set up ladies 😊

I think I'd prefer the 24th... I find the beginning of September hectic too.  
I don't know what the theme for September is... 

Thanks, Ang!!!

We usually meet the last Thursday of the month so if the 24th works for everyone, and it looks like it might, let's do that. Here are the monthly themes:

January - mystery
February - love
March - International
April - biography
May - classical
June - free month
July - summer, light reading
August - children’s book
September - political
October - Canadian author
November - banned books
December - Christian

Seems fitting doesn't it to have a political theme this September?  Now to find a political book...... any ideas? Or we could pick a light fun read for September to ease us back in and remind us why we love book club and each other.

Something to keep in our back pocket, I read The Orenda by Joseph Boyden this summer and while it was a tough start I found it's a book I keep thinking about and would love to discuss. The writing in the book is beautiful but I'm not sure how I feel about it and I might have some issues with its "historical" content. Has anyone else read it? Intrigued? Maybe we could fit it in some month? http://www.amazon.ca/The-Orenda-Joseph-Boyden/dp/0670064181

Thanks, Ange for sending this out!!

24th works for me - sorry for the confusion, I was thinking that we met on the third Thursday (it's obviously been too long ;)

I have a suggestion... 

Since we missed a children's book in August, maybe we could try the bread winner  by Deborah Ellis... Which has political themes too I think. It's set in Afghanistan and Pakistan during the time of the Taliban... 
Might be easy enough to ease us in?

Sounds like a plan. Can I host? We're having renos done starting Sept 28 so this will be my last chance for a while.
