Get reading: Book Club starts October 22

Hey isolators! I’ve got some cool news for you: I’m starting a book club! I know, even with a pandemic none of us have really worked through our to-be-read piles, but this isn’t your standard book club. Instead of all of us reading the same book and talking about it, I’m going to host some friends for a little chat about what we’re reading (or not reading) and what we love about books. It’s going to be super casual, once a month through the winter, and as a bonus I’m going to bring in people who know books cover to cover for a conversation to start off each club meeting.

The first meeting of the Well That’s Cool Book Club is going to be on Thursday, October 22, at 8pm Mountain time.

My first special guest is going to be Rachael Bell-Irving, a young adult fantasy author based in Vancouver, who released her first book, Demons at the Doorstep in January of this year. The first title in the Wicked Conjuring series is the story of Jessica, a balance keeper of magic, and her journey to uncover the potential threat of powerful magic being unleashed in her city. The book is full of demons, witty banter, magic spells, and deadly sunsets. I’m looking forward to talking with Rachael about creating her world of witch hunters and urban fantasy, as well as the journey from idea to print. You can find out more about the book, and grab a copy for the young adults or older ones in your life, at rbellirving.ca.

After my talk with Rachael, the book club meeting itself starts. Be ready to share what you’re reading, or what you love about books of any type. I welcome all of you to join me on Thursday, October 22, at 8pm Mountain time. Crack a book, let your imagination go wild, and I’ll talk with you and Rachael on October 22!
