Meg’s Chapter March 2026
This will be a regular newsletter throughout the year discussing author events, and anything vaguely bookish.
An Update
We kicked off our year in February with the wonderful Kate Horan discussing her new novel On the Edge with Ali Lowe. Here at the library, we love to showcase our many local authors and Kate and Ali make a great team. So much so that their double act will be back on the 12th of March with Kate asking Ali about her 5TH book The Second Wife. It’s a gripping, twisty novel set on a cruise ship. Who doesn’t love a mystery cruise? See the poster for booking info.
Seniors Week is celebrated in March and after our successful Poetry Slam in 2025, we are running a free Writing Your Memories workshop on 19th March. We encourage you to bring along an item/photo to help spark that memory. The idea is you can write as many words as you want. A sentence or an entire page or more. No pressure or judgement. Served with a little cake and a cuppa—always helps the words flow. Leonie Seaton and I will be facilitating.
On My Bookshelf
I’ve just finished Margaret Atwood’s Book of Lives: A Memoir of Sorts.
Highly recommended from one of the most awarded Canadian authors of The Handmaid’s Tale fame. Her take on life is quirky, laced with wit and quite a few laugh-out-loud moments.
I rated it five stars on Goodreads.
My other read for one of my monthly book clubs is Shadows of Winter Robins by Louise Wolhuter. I’m nearing the end and it’s kept me turning the pages. The ebb and flow of the voice of Winter Robins life carries the story, with an underlying tension of bad things that can happen.
Happy reading everyone and hope to see you at an Avalon Community Library event.
