Now, I've had several books I read that I really enjoyed, but I didn't "get" -- with several different degrees of "not gettingness." I definitely wished I could discuss that and see what I'd missed. But maybe that would have really discouraged me... #BookClub

Books & Backroads: Postcard from Louisbourg This week, CBC’s Books & Backroads summer series is visiting the Nova Scotia community of Louisbourg, where the book club has been reading The Spoon Stealers by Lesley Crewe. Club member Jennifer Bussey explains why the “raw beauty” of the remote Cape Breton community is good for the soul.

Every passage you keep gets a margin, and the margin stays open. Come back in a year and answer your younger self in the same place. That's the whole idea: a book that listens. Start yours at https://locuscommunis.com/signup #commonplace #reading #bookclub #bookstodon

The reader got a rework. Your commonplace book opens as a real book: pages turn, and every passage keeps a dated margin where you write back to it. Notes sit beside the words that caused them, and the margin feed gathers the newest thinking across your whole book.

For centuries readers kept commonplace books: borrowed lines copied by hand into a private anthology. Ours does what theirs did, and the pages still turn. Come keep words with us. Start yours at https://locuscommunis.com/signup #commonplace #reading #bookclub #bookstodon

Book clubs are live on Locus Communis. Your club reads the same book in any copy: paper, ereader, library loan. Everyone brings back the passages that struck them, word for word, and the club builds an anthology that outlives any chat. When two of you keep the same line, the club sees it. Hosts get invites, co-hosts, a pinned note, and a meeting calendar. Start yours at https://locuscommunis.com/signup #commonplace #reading #bookclub #bookstodon
