Book Club at Titi's - August 23rd (6ish)
Hello ladies,
The next book club is at my place - 18 Barrie Avenue. (http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=18+barrie+avenue+ottawa&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&oe=UTF-8&rlz=1I7DACA_en-GB&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x4cce042fe3219b09:0xcb9758a6cf8af437,18+Barrie+Ave,+Ottawa,+ON+K1Y+1W2&gl=ca&ei=lxAwTo0F6KWwApLr9E8&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CBkQ8gEwAA)
We've only just moved in and are realizing that with such a little family member, settling in will be a challenge (ie. it's going to look a mess so let's hope that we can sit outside in the garden!)
The book: Any book with the word "Fall" in the title.
Food theme: Fall food (although I'm hoping it's a nice summer evening)
Time: Come by anytime after 6pm. We'll aim to eat and discuss by 6:30.
I am going to make a vegetarian autumn curry of some sort and will seek out the most perfect bottle of Fall wine.
See you here!
Titi

Book Club on May 1 will celebrate Carol Shields. I have included a list of her books, but I would suggested focusing on the last 3 (Stone Diaries, Larry's Party and Unless). I have copies of all 3, and I have read the first 2 fairly recently, if anyone wants to borrow either one.
Here is a list:
▪ Small Ceremonies, 1976
▪ The Box Garden, 1977 (Later published in a joint edition with Small Ceremonies as Duet)
▪ Happenstance, 1980
▪ A Fairly Conventional Woman, 1982
▪ Swann: A Mystery, 1987 (UK title: Mary Swann)
▪ A Celibate Season, 1991 (with Blanche Howard)
▪ The Republic of Love, 1992
▪ The Stone Diaries, 1993 (winner of the Governor General's Award,
National Book Critics Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize)
▪ Larry's Party, 1997 (winner of the Orange Prize, and the Prix de Livre)
▪ Unless, 2002 (winner of the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize, shortlisted for the 2003 Orange Prize)
The Lacuna - March 30, 2011
Hello fellow book lovers,The next book to read and discuss is The Lacuna, by Barbara Kingsolver. I hope you're enjoying it. As it's based mostly in Mexico, it'll go without saying that the theme of our next rendezvous will be Mexican.
Please join me and other book lovers at my place Wednesday, March 30, 2011 at 6:30pm.
I will make veggie quesidillas and have some tortilla chips and salsa as a tapa (did I mention everything will be in spanish too?)
Looking forward to seeing you all!

If you require directions pls. email me.BABIES NOT ONLY WELCOMED AT CHEZ MARTIN, BUT ENCOURAGED!! Please, please bring our new little book clubbers. I heart babies :)

The Solitude of Prime Numbers - November 28th, 2010
This coming Sunday, it is my turn to host our Book Club! So join me at 840 Norton Avenue (near Lincoln Fields) at 6:30pm. I hope no one is allergic to animals - Shannon will entertain the dogs elsewhere, but de-animal-ifying my place might be an impossible task.
As you know - we are reading The Solitude of Prime Numbers by Paolo Giordano and just to be weird, the food theme is "lonely food". what do you eat when you are lonely?
I will provide the wine and the wine substitutes, and will also be thinking of another entree to serve. given that it is Monday night though, i don't have much brain power to figure it out tonight.
looking forward to seeing everyone and discussing the book!
