The Keepin’ It Real Book Club

So you could say this video is a day late . . . or that we wanted to give you a Canada Day present! (with a video about an American author . . . okay, it’s just late. I will dock myself 10% for this post.) Last time we did champion a book by a Canuck, Stuart Ross’s Snowball, Dragonfly, Jew, but this time we’re headed to the big apple (NYC, not the one off the highway in Colborne, ON) for some decidedly lighter fare (less childhood trauma & Holocaust reverberations, more problems with boys and finding an apartment). That said, this book is decidedly more appropriate for for a long weekend, and if you’re perched lakeside, Jennifer Close’s Girls in White Dresses could be just the ticket:

We like to keep you on your toes, so next week we’re switching gears again, embracing our inner pioneer with what will be an undoubtedly yelly discussion of The City Homesteader. Happy Canada Day (and an early 4th of July to our American pals). Basically, happy BBQs and fireworks to all!
