I’m blatantly borrowing an idea I saw in the Montreal community…
Would anyone be interested in a virtual book club featuring books set in Halifax, or perhaps the Maritimes more broadly? A thread could be opened and run for a set time (maybe a month), after which a new book would be chosen.
A couple of possibilities off the top of my head. Both are available through HPL and the Libby app.
- Butter, Honey, Pig, Bread by Francesca Ekwuyasi (partially set in Halifax)
- Fall on Your Knees by Ann-Marie MacDonald (mostly set in CB)
If a few folks are interested, I would be happy to facilitate the first thread and come up with some discussion questions. 😄
I’ve been reading more this year than I have in forever (treating audiobooks as reading has made all the difference). I struggle to get into fiction, so I’d definitely be down for a group to force me to read made up stories, haha
