Vikings Talk – Erebos

Posted on November 8, 2013 by

Come join us for our first Vikings Talk session for this year’s Vikings Read! It will take place on Wednesday, November 13th at lunch in the library. Read on to learn more about it.

 

What is it?
Like a book club, interested staff and students meet in the library’s magazine area to discuss the selected title. Since these meetings are always held at lunch, bring your lunch!

When do they take place?
Check out the list of meeting dates here.

Where?
The library’s magazine section and the surrounding area. Don’t worry if things look tight. We’re a friendly group and always make room for everyone.

Who can come?
Anyone and everyone! It’s generally a mix of staff and students who have read or are interested in reading the book. Some of our students are regulars.

Why?
To discuss the books of course! It’s just as much fun to discuss them as it is reading.

The first book we will be discussing is Ursula Poznanski’s Erebos. Hope to see you all there!

The Library Staff hopes everyone had a wonderful summer. We sure did! One of us traveled afar whereas the rest enjoyed the beautiful BC sunshine. Of course, we also read whenever the great weather didn’t distract us. Here’s just a few of our favourite summer reads:

Someone Else’s Life by Katie Dale

Ten by Gretchen McNeil
My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece by Annabel Pitcher
Erebos by Ursula Poznanski
The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman

What were your favourite summer titles? Did you read mostly fiction, non-fiction, or magazine? Let us know!
