First things first: we're hoping to get the ball rolling on picking next month's genre! Bring any genre suggestions you might have to the meeting on Saturday, and if you can't make it to the meeting, feel free to post your suggestions as a comment on this post, or send us an email at uottawabookworms@gmail.com.
Next up: We thought it would be fun to post some bonus materials about this month's book, The Pleasure of My Company by Steve Martin. Feel free to take a look through the websites - it's just for fun and your own personal interest! Check 'em out:

- The official Rite-Aid website: http://www.riteaid.com/

We hope you enjoy those links, and we'll see you on Saturday afternoon! We'll post on Saturday morning to confirm the location (either outside or in UCU205, depending on the weather). If you can't make the meeting but have some thoughts about the book, drop us an email!
