Miss you ladies...

Address reminder for Friday please! email or facebook is fine for more anonymity.

Hello, I am a writer whose most recent book is Burmese Lessons, a love story, pub'd by Random House. I have just been on a cross-Canada tour but am scheduled to visit the U of A in the early spring (Feb or March) and am interested in visiting a couple of book clubs too. Obviously, this would mean your club would have read one of my books. I love your savvy website and I've looked at your books--I can imagine your members would find my work compelling. Burmese Lessons is a memoir about my time in Burma and on the border, as well as the story of my relationship with a Burmese revolutionary fighting against the Burmese regime. My last book, The Lizard Cage, was also about Burma. Anyway, if you're even vaguely interested, take a peek at my website www.karenconnelly.ca for more information. all my best, keep reading! karen c

Hello Tinna...we just gather, do a round where every person shares their initial thoughts on the book and then it is a free for all. We talk about the book, pose questions, laugh, eat, and finally rate the book. We end with the unveiling of the new book choices and a vote on which one we are going to take on. We take turns hosting and the person who hosts chooses our book selections. Hope that helps and good luck with your Fort McMurray club!

You ladies sure seem to have it all together when it comes to bookclubs. How do you manage your meetings? Do people take turns talking? We are looking to start one in Fort McMurray and a few pointers would be so helpful!

Hi Francie! Can't wait to meet Siena. We missed your smiles and input at the last meeting.

ladies, sorry i missed the last meeting. i have finished the book (laura rider) and thought it was ok. at least different from what we normally read. i'm glad our next meeting isn't for a while because i have started a very trashy vampire series...its like twlight for adults. afterwards i can check out our next book. look forward to seeing everyone in oct and i'll bring baby siena too. enjoy the fall...

that's great paula! thanks for sharing the recommendations. we'll definitely consider them! happy reading!

I found your website 3 years ago since then read 11 of your posted books and agree 100% with your ratings. I am surprised The Shack is not a current read, I recommend this book and I believe the author is Canadian. I also recommend City of Theives. Really like to check your website and see what you gals are reading. I live in Tampa Fl. and belong to 2 books clubs.

Started the book and I am loving it!

i'm done in record time. totally worth buying so don't hesitate.

I am looking forward to a good read...it has been a while!

I'm number 19 on the library waitlist! I guess I'll be buying it today as well.

thanks for the comment, jill. you gave me the nudge to order it.... there are numerous holds for it at the library... another sign of a good book.

I should buy the book and get a move on!

loving the new book! i'm nearly finished already....

hey... so good to hear from you michele!!hope you are well. funny you mention people of the book cause that was my other pick...hopefully it will come around again. please send us other good reads and keep well.

hi girls, still not enough time for a book club here in indiana, but i did manage to read one of your books over the holiday break -- water for elephants. i really liked it; reminded me of carnivale! i also just read 'people of the book' -- kind of like the story of Red Violin (movie), a tale of all the places, people who touched the book. excellent for those who like historical novels. hope you all are well!

just a quick update to let everyone know that we do not accept new members via the website as we have a long list of friends that are patiently waiting to join us.

Hello! I found your page online and am wondering if you are looking for more people to join your group? Please let me know! Thanks.

Hi! I found your book club on a Canada Book Club site and was looking for more information. Thanks!

books, food, clothes, yelling.... yes it was a great sunday afternoon. i'm sure we've got the best bc going.

thank you again francie! such a lovely sunday afternoon. see you all soon.

Hi, I just moved to Calgary and was looking for a fun and interesting book club. Yours looks fantastic. Any chance you are taking new members?
