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.

The Favorites by Layne Fargo
She might not have a famous name, funding, or her family’s support, but Katarina Shaw has always known that she was destined to become an Olympic skater. When she meets Heath Rocha, a lonely kid stuck in the foster care system, their instant connection makes them a formidable duo on the ice. Clinging to skating—and each other—to escape their turbulent lives, Kat and Heath go from childhood sweethearts to champion ice dancers, captivating the world with their scorching chemistry, rebellious style, and roller-coaster relationship.
Until a shocking incident at the Olympic Games brings their partnership to a sudden end.
As the ten-year anniversary of their final skate approaches, an unauthorized documentary reignites the public fascination with Shaw and Rocha, claiming to uncover the “real story” through interviews with their closest friends and fiercest rivals. Kat wants nothing to do with the documentary, but she can’t stand the thought of someone else defining her legacy. So, after a decade of silence, she’s telling her story: from the childhood tragedies that created her all-consuming bond with Heath to the clash of desires that tore them apart. Sensational rumors have haunted their every step for years, but the truth may be even more shocking than the headlines.

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!
