Book Club is back! Martha hosted the season’s first meeting on Sunday (thank you, Martha!) and the literary lakesiders are off to a strong start—with eight people joining the discussion (record-breaking? Possibly).

Next Meetings:

  • Sunday, August 10 at 2 PM
  • Sunday, September 14 at 2 PM
    Both on Martha’s dock.

Books to Read for the Next Meeting
Martha has kept the list short—by book club standards anyway—which still means there’s something here for every taste. If you read them all, we assume you’re either retired or caffeinated at supernatural levels.

Whether you’ve read everything or nothing at all, you’re welcome—just bring your curiosity, a camp chair, and maybe a snack to share.

Call Martha at 416 845 7025 or 249 494 0807 OR email at martha.asselin@sympatico.ca if you have any questions!
