On Wednesday, May 22nd, I had the absolute pleasure to sing the praises of silent book clubs to CBC Radio hosts in St. John’s, Toronto, Fredericton, Calgary, Yellowknife, Victoria, Kelowna, Whitehorse and Edmonton. At the same time, San Francisco silent book club originator and founder Guinevere de la Mare (she and Laura Gluhanich started the first club in 2012 – check www.silentbook.club for the latest on the more than 75 chapters worldwide that are spreading the sbc love!) spoke to CBC Radio in London ON, Cape Breton, Winnipeg, Halifax, Vancouver, Sudbury, Thunder Bay and Saskatoon.

So, I hope that means that friends across the country will soon have the chance to enjoy what I go on and on about every month – right in their own towns!

Enjoy my (dead nervous) interview with Reshmi Nair on CBC Toronto’s Here and Now.

Thanks again to Maggie Macintosh of CBC Toronto for making all this possible (and for taking one of my all-time favourite pictures of our group, above). Many thanks to our friends at PRESS Books Coffee Vinyl, and to all the avid readers who have supported our very special book club and have been such great inspirations.
