So nice to chat about a whole pile of books while eating good food and socializing with friends!

We had a lively discussion about many great books at our meeting. One of our legacy members shared a photo from decades ago and we welcomed a new participant. Another of our legacy members shared a book by Susanna Kearsley, who had been a student of hers in high school.
One of our members let us know that Brant County Libraries was hosting two high profile author readings this year, Terry Fallis, and Joy Fielding. Should be great! They both have new books coming out soon.
One of our members is also an author and she showed us a book she was gifted by a visiting scholar. He had found the archival photo in the Antwerp museum dedicated to the Red Star Line that was used on the cover of a book written by our member for the Dear Canada series by Scholastic. Many of our ancestors traveled to Canada on the Red Star Line. So neat!
