Meet our 2015 Book Club Leaders<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We’re excited to have four\u00a0book-loving bloggers leading the discussions this summer!<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Man Who Saved Henry Morgan <\/em><\/strong>by Robert Hough
\nBook Club Leader: Karen Ma
\nBlog: One More Page<\/a><\/p>\n

Karen Ma has been a bookworm her whole life and can often be found reading and walking at the same time. Her love of books inspired her to create her blog,\u00a0One More Page, which has been featured on CBC Books’ “Canadian Blogs” section. When she’s not reading, Karen can be found playing board games, watching TV, and looking at cute animal pictures online.<\/p>\n

\"Deadbeat<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Deadbeat Club <\/em><\/strong>by Dietrich Kalteis
\nBook Club Leader: Christine Nguyen
\nBlog: Padfoots Library<\/a><\/p>\n

Christine is a 25 year old book blogger who is also a graduate student. She particularly enjoys Japanese contemporary literature and some of her favourite authors are Haruki Murakami and Kazuo Ishiguro. She reads a wide range of books from Adult fiction and non-fiction to YA fiction. She started writing book reviews as a platform to sing her praises for books she really loved and to connect with the online book community.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

The Road to Atlantis by Leo Brent Robillard
\nBook Club Leader: Jenn Hubbs
\nBlog: Lost in a Great Book<\/a><\/p>\n

Born in small town Ontario to a librarian and a high school teacher, Jenn grew up surrounded by books of all genres and a family of readers. A former teacher, she is a public librarian and a selection and events coordinator, working with publishers across North America. As a proud CanLit supporter, Jenn continues to read, review and recommend books to anyone who will listen.<\/p>\n

\"Monica<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I Can\u2019t Believe It\u2019s Not Better <\/em>by Monica Heisey
\n<\/strong>Book Club Leader: Michele Daniels
\nBlog: Just a Lil’ Lost<\/a><\/p>\n

According to her family, Michele started reading when she was 3 – and she hasn’t put a book down since. Her love of reading and the online world inspired her to start her site, Just a Lil’ Lost, where she connects with others and writes about books and pop culture topics. She enjoys books in all genres; from adult and young adult fiction to non-fiction and graphic novels. As the creator of #ParisMonth, an annual blog event that just wrapped its fourth year, she celebrates her obsession with the French city all month long every April. When she doesn’t have a book in hand, Michele can probably be found with a coffee in one, and a macaron in the other.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
