Mom's Bookclub in November was Sponsored by Scholastic

momstown Mississauga's mama bookclub this month was sponsored by Scholastic Canada. Our group was given 6 books to pick from from Scholastic's Young Adult Fiction section. 

The clear choice from our mamas was Inhuman by Kat Falls. The story is post-apocalyptic tale of a human engineered bio-tech advancement gone wrong. The story was fast moving with lots of twists and turns to keep readers engaged and guessing until the end. 

Reading YA seems to be a popular choice for many in our group as the story is fast moving and easy to read.  

One thing our bookclub has discussed is that it is not always easy to read the books you want to read once you become a parent. Life gets so busy it's hard to fit everything in. Trying new genres such as these Young Adult books has proven to be a surprisingly successful match for many of our mamas. 

Here are a couple of quotes from our message board. 

I loved the book! I've been finding it hard to read in general lately (I fall asleep far too easily!) but I could NOT put this book down.  I never thought I'd enjoy the YA genre, but it's proven to keep me interested.  I really enjoyed the storyline. It was not like anything I'd ever read before.  I found the story easy to follow, but it wasn't too predictable.  The cliffhanger at the end definitely makes me excited for the next one!

It was good - very creative and interesting storyline. 

I loved the idea that the young girl goes on an adventure to save her father and finds the truth of her childhood revealed through the fairy tales her father had told her as bedtime stories. 

Our moms meet monthly for a bookclub with no pressure. Join us next time we are on hiatus over the holidays but will resume in the winter. The cost for momstown is only $45 for the year  and includes a ton of great Mom-only events such as our bookclub. 

Bookclub for Moms in Mississauga - Sponsored by Scholastic

March's momstown Mississauga bookclub event was sponsored by Scholastic Canada. We held it at a pub in Port Credit called the Crooked Cue this month, combining pub night and bookclub! What a fun mom's night out!

Scholastic Canada sponsors monthly bookclub events for our momstown kids and babies to support our literacy programs. This March, Scholastic also sponsored a Bookclub for Moms! We read The False Prince by Jennifer A. Neilsen.

The False Prince

 

Our Mississauga Moms were excited to take home a brand new hardcover - Thank You Scholastic for providing us with copies of the book! We shared them around and a few people bought the e-book since they prefer their e-readers. 

Everyone agreed they weren't sure what to expect from the book initally, and then couldn't put it down once they got into it! The False Prince is a great read - full of intrigue and suspense keeping you guessing until the end.

 

We meet for fun events like our bookclub, crafty moms nights out, boardgame nights, and coming this spring we'll be meeting at various fitness studios and clubs around the city to try out different exerciese classes!

 

momstown Mississauga isn't just for stay at home moms, with our interactive message board, family weekend events like our recent Music and Movement Barbie Event and mom's night out events, there's lots for working moms too!
