[Silent Book Club ~ Ottawa Chapter] June Meetups, Old and New!
|
“Of course, fresh flowers are the answer ― Mia Moretti Happy June, dear Reader! The warmth and sunshine of June is here, bringing with it cozy Spring reads! In May, we had the opportunity to share about SBC at the Next Chapter Expo out at Stanley's Olde Maple Lane Farm, where we chatted with people about the joys of reading and about what their current reads were. It was a wonderful event! May also saw us host a wonderful Book Swap gathering at Anina's Cafe (the venue of our Vanier meetup) with nearly 40 people, swapping books and finding new reads to take home. As for upcoming meetups, have one that is having its third gathering in June, and another just starting up! Woohoo! There's lots to share in our newsletter... read on! · · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · · What I'm reading these days... I finished Lowcountry Boil by Susan M. Boyer and look forward to chatting with my book club about it. A quick check-in with one of my book club friends and she agreed that it gives Alphabet Series vibes (Sue Grafton's mystery series with Kinsey Millhone). Today I started The Rose Bargain by Sasha Peyton Smith, on my daughter's recommendation. I read the first three books in the St. Marin's Cozy Mystery Series by ACF Bookens. If you enjoy cozy reads, book stores, kind people and faithful furry four-footed friends, then you might like this one too. Enough about me and by books...
