Want to discuss great books with like-minded friends in Nanaimo?
The concept is simple. We’re a global book club for likeminded women to discuss great books! All members of the book club read the same book over the same period; members then meet up in their respective cities at the end of each month to discuss the book and exchange views.
Grab your seat!
Annie Bot by Sierra Greer
Annie Bot was created to be the perfect girlfriend for her human owner, Doug. Designed to satisfy his emotional and physical needs, she has dinner ready for him every night, wears the cute outfits he orders for her, and adjusts her libido to suit his moods. True, she’s not the greatest at keeping Doug’s place spotless, but she’s trying to please him. She’s trying hard.
She’s learning, too.
Doug says he loves that Annie’s artificial intelligence makes her seem more like a real woman, but the more human Annie becomes, the less perfectly she behaves. As Annie’s relationship with Doug grows more intricate and difficult, she starts to wonder whether Doug truly desires what he says he does. In such an impossible paradox, what does Annie owe herself?

Hi! I’m interested in attending the August 2nd book club meeting. On this website, it says that before I commit to a full membership, I can pay $5 for the first one that I attend. Would this be okay? Thank you. Pat O’Shea in Parksville
Hi Pat! Yes, if you click the event under “Upcoming Bookclubs” (located above the comment section) you can choose the pay as you go option! You can also choose the pay as you go option for each month you would like to attend instead of the membership.
Hi Pat! I just submitted the details for the August book club and look forward to you joining us at the end of the month!
