Want to discuss great books with like-minded friends in Winnipeg?
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.
What we are reading...
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.

Hello at Gloss Winnipeg. It’s Grant. Who do I contact about getting an upcoming book release in front of the book-choosers and Winnipeg book club members? It’s a Canadian book so book club members can support a Canadian author and book publisher instead of an American product. I couldn’t find an email address on the Gloss website to ask this question so I can provide more information. The upcoming book is especially relevant to Winnipeg, Toronto and Montreal readers and especially women 50+. I’ll watch for your response. Thanks!
Hi Grant, thank you for your interest in The Gloss. We read books from authors all over the globe – and by no means just based in the USA. You can send the info about your book to info@theglossbookclub.com Thank you!
