1^st Monday 9:30 a.m.

Convenor: Anne Brackstone

The Monday AM Book Club has reached capacity for the year, so will not be accepting new members.  We are sorry we cannot take any more members and we hope you will be able to join one of the other Book Clubs.

A rather special group that restricts its choices to include only books that are available in an audible format. Most members read the print version, but some members of the group are unable to do so and read by listening. The opinions are always varied and firmly held leading to an exhilarating and amusing debate. We choose ten books with at least one from each section: Canadian Fiction, International Fiction, Classic and Non-fiction.

2022/23 - This year's book selections are:

Month	Title	Host
September 5th	Inconvenient Indian	Jill
October 3rd	The Girl from Berlin	Pam
November 7th	The Maid	Mary
December 5th	Still Life	Leona
January 2nd	The Personal Librarian	Heather
February 6th	The Wonder	Anne
March 6th	Barometer Rising	Nickola
April 3rd	Red Notice	Anthea
May 1st	The Last Green Valley	Diana
