ESA’s Own Book Club: The Wonder, by Emma Donoghue

The votes are in and our first book is going to be The Wonder, by Emma Donoghue.  This was the overwhelming favourite, selected from a shortlist of Canadian literary fiction which has been nominated for a Fall 2016 Literary Award.

  • Grab yourself a copy.
  • Read it.
  • Join us for some convivial conversation and great food in the Library on November 30th.

New members are always welcome.  We have a lovely “assortment” of students, staff, parents, grads and others, who participate.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT ESA’s OWN BOOK CLUB…

Please join us for ESA’s Own Book Club.  New members are welcome anytime.

We had a very successful inaugural year during the 2015-16 school year.  We’re back for an even bigger and better book club in 2016-17.

  • We are going to read our way through five (5) books this year.
  • We are also going to hold two meetings on each book club day…  an after school meeting to accommodate any (students and/or staff primarily) who are unable to make it in the evening on account of school commitments.
  • This will be in addition to the regularly scheduled evening book club meeting.

For the regular (evening) book club meeting:

  • plan to join us in the Library for tea and treats at 6:45pm (bring your own mug!);
  • we will begin discussing our book promptly at 7pm;
  • expect to wrap up around 9pm;
  • all members of the ESA community – past and present – are welcome to attend.  We have a great group of students, staff, parents and grads among our complement.

  • Wed Nov 30th, 2016 – date changed to avoid conflict with ARTS Showcase!!
  • Wed Jan 18th, 2017
