**\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*QUICK UPDATE: Location changed! June 26 \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*** Quick update: the weather forecast is being dramatically indecisive about rain today, and frankly, neither am I when it comes to letting you all get rained on. (Soggy books and soggy readers are not the aesthetic we're going for.) So, change of scenery, no risks taken! I've booked us a cozy table for all 10 **at Figaro Coffee House, 4 PM today**. Come find me on the **second floor**, I'll be the one welcoming you in! \* address: **350 Lakeshore Rd E,** Oakville Hope to see everyone at Figaro! Just added a picture of the coffee shop. Plz take a peek! https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=b24d33f0b7e2f9cd&rlz=1CDGOYI_enCA1048CA1052&hl=en-US&sxsrf=APpeQnvgsV9pQIIKC5_qfJhL5fmrQtnlxw:1782480989590&kgmid=/g/11rmpqqs06&q=Figaro+Coffee+House&shem=epsd1,ltae,rimspwouoe&shndl=30&source=sh/x/loc/act/m1/3&kgs=17f45c13e5fbc3c6&utm_source=epsd1,ltae,rimspwouoe,sh/x/loc/act/m1/3 \*\*\*\*\* UPDATE!

Please read the guidelines below, and I look forward to meeting you very soon. Happy reading! *** Hi nonfiction book lovers! It's been such a delight meeting monthly and diving into all kinds of conversations together.

Otherwise, you'll get lost! *** **What to bring:** * Your **nonfiction** read to share * ☕ Your favourite drink or coffee * 🍪 A small snack to pass around * 🧺 A picnic blanket * bug spray:) I'll be bringing a little game and some surprises. 🎁 So excited for this one.

**🦋 Neighbourhood Read: Circe by Madeline Miller • Relaxed and Inclusive** We're meeting up to open up a conversation around Circe, our selection by Madeline Miller in a friendly low-key environment, and there is always more to discover in a good book together. No requirement to finish — come wherever you are in the book, and note any characters or moments you want to unpack, and bring your reading experience — since there is no wrong reading and every response is worth hearing. The evening is shaped by who is in the room — with the conversation moving where it naturally wants to go, and the most interesting moments never come from the planned questions. Every session is a good first session — and regular members are consistently enthusiastic about welcoming new readers, the only requirement is showing up ready to talk, and first-timers rarely feel like first-timers for long. ⭐ *"The group is warm and the conversation is always great — the discussion always produces at least one reading I had not considered"* – new to the group --- 💬 A great discussion changes how you see a great book — sign up and bring your reading experience however partial and the rest sorts itself out in the room. The group grows every time someone new joins. 💬
