October 2014 Bookclub News

Dear Bookclub,
Just to finish a few items about our last meeting; an explanation about the "Lyn(n)(e)"'s is due, as well as the list of books considered for our next selection. For those of you not present at Lynn T's last month, you did not get to meet Diane's old friend, Lyn, from Chicago. Visiting San Diego for a conference, to see Diane and of course, to attend our meeting, Lyn was absolutely delightful and a fun addition into the Lyn(n)(e) lineup of the night.

Considered for February:

"One Plus One"  JoJo Moyes *chosen
"The Dovekeepers" Alice Hoffman
"I am Hutterite: The Fascinating True Story of a Young Woman's
                               Journey to Reclaim Her Heritage" Mary-Ann Kirby


Next up:

Patrick Taylor


From Taylor's website (www.patricktaylor.ca): Born in 1941, Taylor was brought up in Bangor, Northern Ireland, and received his medical education in Ulster. He initially practiced in a rural Ulster village akin to Ballybucklebo before taking specialist training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. After living in Belfast through the first two years of the recent Irish Troubles (1969-1994) he and his family emigrated to Canada where he pursued a career in medical research and teaching in the field of human infertility. His contributions have been honoured with three lifetime achievement awards including the Lifetime Award of Excellence of the Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society.

I think you will find Taylor's book wee buns to enjoy and have it read in a doodle. Apologies to the Ulster-Scots if this sounds glipe.

Please RSVP to Karen for our October 16th meeting. 

Read on!
