Book of Negroes to lend?

Hi Gals,

Awesome night last night! Thanks Jenn for hosting. You have a beautiful home! Great food too! Did someone say cheese? YUM! I've been looking through Yann Martel's book and decided that Metamorphosis might totally bum me out- didn't realize it was about a man turning into a bug. Ick. Also, I really want to read The Book of Negroes over the summer. Does anyone have a copy you'd loan me? Please e-mail me if you do: esther@estherkane.com

Won't be at May's meeting :( because will be in Toronto visiting family but hope you gals have a great time and see you in June!

Hugs,

Esther

Barack Obama and Yann Martel

So, even though Stephen Harper isn't too keen on Yann's suggestions, Barack Obama and his children loved Life of Pi.

what is stephen harper reading?

just picked this book up today from library and i already love the premise. mentioned in the introduction is the website he started which has all of the books and the letters he's sent to our prime minister (and will continue to do so every 2 weeks for his time in office). makes me want to run out and read each and every one that he is recommending... great pick for may! so, if you cannot get the book in time, read from this site:
