it's such a great shot! i wish i was there but i was busy turning 40 on the 2nd and had surprise visitors here!!!
ReplyDeletegood article too :)
my mother-in-law read it in t.o. and mentioned it on the phone to my hubby with neither of them realizing it was the book club that i belong to!
he called back and she will save a copy if anyone is wanting it for a keepsake?
Happy Belated BIrthday Jennifer! You do 40 fabulously well!
ReplyDeletetoo kind - thank you!
ReplyDeleteAgreed - great photo! Love it! Just thought I'd send a note to say that if you're reading The Book of Negroes, you should check out our archival material on the book - lots of interviews with the author, etc: www.cbc.ca/bookclub. The Book of Negroes was our book club pick for March and I had such a great time reading it and getting to know Larry (Lawrence Hill).
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment Hannah; we'll definitely check out your material. Check in with us anytime!
ReplyDeleteI loved the article and couldn't believe it was here in my own community and that, alas, I am the right age...hope to join your club but don't think I can whip through June's book by next week! So I hope to see you gals in the fall (or summer?)
