Twas a winter's night book club. Our club trades books rather than everyone reading the same book at the same time. Books of note this month were:

The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley
White Tiger by Aravind Adiga

We also have a member who is going through the Canada Reads selections. She has already read:
Good to a Fault by Marina Endicott (she carefully worded her review in a positive way, which meant it was good but ...)
Fall on Your Knees by Anne Marie MacDonald (we've all read that one already and personally I liked it)



Book Club?? We should call it Food Club! Dinner is always at book club as the appies are wonderful!

A glorious surprise was the gift given to us by one of our members. She was just down in Vancouver when the shop received a new shipment of the Canadian Olympic Team Red Mitts so she purchased some for all of us. Thank you, thank you. These are currently almost impossible to find in stores across Canada and net proceeds from every pair sold go toward supporting Canadian athletes in gaining access to top equipment and training.
eh O'CANADA GO! (official Canadian cheer ... but I'm not big on it) or as my sister prefers eeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhh CANADA!
