Abstract
In an environment where the winter months have wind chill temperatures that dip below minus forty degrees Celsius, a group of five women meet once a month in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada, to discuss a variety of books written by Canadian women authors. This article provides an overview of selecting the books to be read, integrating the book club into the community, staging the venues for the meetings, outlining leadership roles and responsibilities, obtaining the books each month, and a culminating activity. Also provided are an annotated bibliography of the books read at the 2007-2008 Moose Jaw Book Club and additional information for Delta Kappa Gamma members who may wish to attend the Festival of Words conference.
