'The books transported her into new worlds and introduced her to amazing people who lived exciting lives.'   (Roald Dahl, Matilda) 

Joie des Livres:                    4th Wednesday of the month @ 1:30 p.m.

Reading is to the mind as exercise is to the body:

Reading expands our vocabulary, makes us think about things we wouldn’t otherwise ponder, and takes us to places we wouldn’t otherwise go. We discover and learn; we are consoled and challenged.

Sometimes, limiting discussions to pre-selected books may feel too restrictive, so we invite you to review a good read by any living author that you have really enjoyed, or that has had a special impact on you. The kind of book where, when you come to the end, you can’t let go of it … you keep thinking about it. It was insightful? Touching? Gripping? Informative? Calming? Share your personal review of the book and tell us why you would recommend it to our group. There is no limit on genre or topic, but you must have read and personally enjoyed the book - for whatever reason.

TSBC is a unique book club that offers a creative approach to enjoyable reading and learning about new topics. 

Monthly themes are chosen in which members are open to broad and diverse interpretations. This year we are going to explore different geographical locations. Members can choose whatever book they wish to explore under such headings as; biography or memoir, history or historical fiction, art or cultural, mystery, magical realism, fiction, cookbook, music, children's book etc. The list is endless. Each member can share their personal choices of reading material. The Convenor makes a reference chart after each meeting. We have lively discussions about our chosen books.

Below are our suggested themes for the upcoming year. 

Monday Morning Books - Meets the first* Monday of the month @ 9:30 a.m.

We meet in person at a retirement residence or member's home September, October & November, via Zoom in December, January and February and again in person March, April, May & June. Books that are chosen must be available in an audio format to accommodate members with visual problems.
