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.

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?

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!
