Returning in the Winter 2016 Semester

Hello uOttawa Bookworms, long time no post.

The Bookworms has been on a hiatus for the past 9 months due to an executive member shortage. We are now working hard to recruit students to help us build the club back up. If you or someone you know is interested in being on the executive team of the uOttawa Bookworms, please send us an email at uottawabookworms@gmail.com.

Help us spread the word by posting on Facebook or telling your friends about it. Not interested in being an executive. No worries! Being a member of the club is just as good. Tell your fellow book nerds to join us for our very first meeting in January 2016. Hopefully we will see many new and returning faces come January.

Keep on eye on our Facebook page and on this website for more updates.

Until next time.

Stella and the uOttawaBookworms team.

January Book(s)!! + No meeting in December

Hey guys! Sorry for not being present at the last meeting. But from what we heard, you guys had a great time + a wonderful book suggestion for the next meeting.

Since we decided that December will be a hard time to schedule a meetup (due to exams and holidays), we will have our next meeting in January! Because of this LONG period of not seeing all your wonderful faces, we will select two books to read for January's meeting.

Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

Hey guys, the next meeting is coming up! The date's this Sunday, November 16th from 13:00 to 15:00 in FSS rooms 2022 and 2013 (both small rooms were booked but we'll probably only need one so you could move your chairs from one room to the other or something like that).

Sadly, Stella, Ashley and I can't make it this time around but we encourage you all to come. Also, if any of you could write down what books you want to read for the next meeting then that would be great! 

Have fun :)

November Meeting Date and Time

The next meeting date is confirmed. We will meet November 16th (1pm - 3pm). We will update you guys on the room (but we are thinking of meeting at FSS).

(Stella and I will be away at a conference during that time but our vice president, Juwairiya, will be present.)

Poll: November Meeting Time

We just revealed yesterday what book we are reading for the month of October, so it is the time to start the polling for November's meeting time.

Please direct yourself to the doodle poll (this time I didn't mess up the time!....I think).

Remember, our October Read is The Cuckoo’s Calling by Robert Galbraith.

Coming from Behind: Our October Read Has Been Decided!

My oh my, if you have been following the poll for our October Read, you were given a dramatic finale!

For the longest time, it was a battle between Mistborn: The Final Empire (Mistborn #1) by Brandon Sanderson and The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. But your votes are in! For October, we will read......

The Cuckoo’s Calling by Robert Galbraith

The Cuckoo’s Calling received 13 votes. While Mistborn and The Alchemist tied for 2nd with 12 votes.

Thank you all for voting! Now happy reading!

Thank you for such a wonderful start to a new year of Bookworms. We met some new and returning faces during our first meeting. We hope to see you next time!

Now, it's up to you to vote on the book we will read in October. Some really great suggestions were made during our first meeting.
