Leaving Autumn....arriving in Summer....

I'm looking forward to my Canyon Sands  bookclub....sounds like it's still pretty hot in Palm Springs.  For the topic of  "unforgettable character" I immediately thought of Duddy Kravitz from The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz by Mordecai Richler.  Now,  to find our copy as no copies available in any of the PS libraries...not surprising since Richler is a Canadian author and the book was published quite a while ago.

Good morning!

Attached you will find the All About Books announcement for the November 8 session. Please note that we will be snacking as well as chatting.

Stay cool on what I hope is our last triple-digit day. (How many times have I said that since fall began?)

CANYON SANDS ALL ABOUT BOOKS
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2017
HOA OFFICE 2:00 P.M.
We will concentrate on fictional characters
in the November 8 meeting of All About Books.
Be prepared to share an unforgettable character that you encountered long ago or recently. What made him or her memorable? Physical appearance? Actions? Dialogue?
If your character appears in a series, how does the author keep him or her both consistent and interesting?

Since November is traditionally a time of feasting, let’s add food to our session on November 8. Bring samples of your favorite thing to eat while reading OR the favorite food of the fictional character you will discuss.

I had to pick up a prescription at The Cancer Agency yesterday and the leaves were just amazing along University Boulevard and 12th Avenue...wow!

Not my photos but some images of Autumn leaves in Vancouver.  It was a gorgeous sunny day.  The good weather is going to last into November.  Vancouverites deserve this after a horrible Autumn and Winter last year....and not a brilliant summer either.
