Orillia

The concept is simple. We’re a global book club for likeminded readers 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.

About Your Host

Anne-Marie Hardie

is a professor at Georgian College who loves stories in all their forms—especially the ones that spark good conversation. When she’s not teaching, she works as a writer and copywriter, crafting everything from thoughtful essays to in-depth case studies. Anne-Marie is curious by nature and drawn to ideas about sustainability, creativity, and how words can shape the way we see the world. A lifelong reader, she enjoys books that invite reflection, challenge assumptions, and linger long after the last page. She’s delighted to connect with fellow readers and share the joy of talking about books together.
