Consider this your friendly nudge to step outside, take a deep breath, and let nature do its thing. We’re meeting at **Lions Valley Park in Oakville** for a relaxed, one-hour walk (emphasis on *relaxed*, this will not be a sprint). Easy pace, good conversation (or silence, if that’s more your mood) and that lovely sense of peace that comes from swapping four walls for trees and sky. We’ll meet by the **giant support pillar with blue graffiti** at the bottom of the hill. **Parking:** * Parking is at the **bottom of the hill in the park** (open for the season after mid-April). * If full, you can park at the **Presbyterian church at the top of the hill** and walk down. I was there last week and the sign allowing parking at the church was still there. Spending time in nature is a super simple but genuinely powerful way to calm the nervous system, clear your mind, and feel more grounded. No need to be “on.” Just come as you are, walk, chat if you feel like it, or simply soak it all in. Please give yourself extra time to arrive in case you have to park at the top of the hill and walk down.

ABCD Reads "**[What We Can Know](https://tpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S234C4683360)**" by Ian McEwan. [[RESULTS](https://opavote.com/results/6276009911648256) of the poll for this event] **:: ABOUT THE BOOK ::** "A quest, a literary thriller and a love story, *What We Can Know* spans the past, present and future to ask profound questions about who we are and where we are going. 2014: A great poem is read aloud and never heard again. For generations, people speculate about its message, but no copy has yet been found. 2119: The lowlands of the UK have been submerged by rising seas. Those who survive are haunted by the richness of the world that has been lost. Tom Metcalfe, a scholar at the University of the South Downs, part of Britain's remaining archipelagos, pores over the archives of the early twenty-first century, captivated by the freedoms and possibilities of human life at its zenith. When he stumbles across a clue that may lead to the great lost poem, revelations of entangled love and a brutal crime emerge, destroying his assumptions about a story he thought he knew intimately. *What We Can Know* is a masterpiece that reclaims the present from our sense of looming catastrophe, and imagines a future world where all is not quite lost." (from [Goodreads](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/223854881-what-we-can-know)) "A love story about both people and the words they leave behind, a literary detective story which reclaims the present from our sense of looming catastrophe and imagines a future world where all is not quite lost." (from [Bookmarks.reviews](https://bookmarks.reviews/reviews/what-we-can-know/)) **:: ABOUT THE EVENT ::** You are welcome to arrive 30 minutes before the event and stay 30 minutes or longer afterward to connect with other attendees outside the book talk. Please ensure you have read the book before attending (though finishing any book is not a barrier to participating, as long as you don't mind spoilers). First-time attendees can join for free.

If you have a good one in mind, please ensure it is between 200-400 pages long, available from the Toronto Public Library, and counts as contemporary literary fiction (though these are not hard and fast rules). When enough nominees are collected, Michael will send the members a direct message with a link where you can vote.

**Our May novel is: *The Quiet Librarian* by Allen Eskens** **This month’s book is set in the 20th century and mixes historical fiction with suspense and thriller elements. It also centers on women’s stories and relationships. The novel is 368 pages in print or 8 hours and 12 minutes on audiobook.** Hana Babic is a quiet, middle-aged librarian in Minnesota who wants nothing more than to be left alone. But when a detective arrives with the news that her best friend has been murdered, Hana knows that something evil has come for her, a dark remnant of the past she and her friend had shared. Thirty years before, Hana was someone else: Nura Divjak, a teenager growing up in the mountains of war-torn Bosnia—until Serbian soldiers arrived to slaughter her entire family before her eyes. The events of that day thrust Nura into the war, leading her to join a band of militia fighters, where she became not only a fierce warrior but a legend—the deadly Night Mora. But a shattering final act forced Nura to flee to the United States with a bounty on her head\*\*.\*\*

Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington. The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo. Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine. We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you. The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly. Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome. The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit. Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times. Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have. Happy writing!
