The week ahead is going to be flat-out busy work-wise. On top of that, the unknowns of a rather tumultuous provincial election hang over our heads, the eagerly anticipated but also dreaded results of which will be announced on Thursday, June 7th. By Saturday, June 9th, I will be so ready for the calm and reflection offered by a good, cozy silent book club meeting – I suspect a few of my neighbours and fellow booklovers will feel the same way.
I’m perhaps particularly yearning for a silent book club meeting because I missed the May gathering. Thank you to Jo for compiling that meeting’s list of books read and discussed, another vibrant and eclectic collection.
