This Reader's club is dedicated to reading books written by Canadian Authors. Books will be chosen in advance, so you will have plenty of time to read them. Books will be all genres (but mostly fiction). The only thing they will have in common is that the author must be Canadian. That doesn't mean we'll read only Margaret Atwood or Robertson Davies, but new Canadian Authors. Some will be from smaller publishers, some will be new writers. All books will be available at the book store or library.

This group is a book club with a twist. It is a book club for writers. Why are some books popular? What makes them bestsellers? What can we as writers learn from these books? I started this book club because traditional book clubs are too vanilla for me. If you are a committed writer, then this meetup is for you. We meet once a month in downtown Toronto. Other events are scheduled as we think of them. Each month, we will chose a work of fiction and examine it from the perspective of a writer (an …

Hi Everyone!  First of all, we typically meet in the St. Catharines area!! I wanted to start this group because I love reading.

I plan to create monthly meetups to discuss the given book and socialize.  We are currently taking turns hosting the meetings at members homes.  The addresses are therefore never advertised publicly …

Our m …

Books that I have in mind are the Harry Potter Series, the Shopaholic series, and any other fun fiction or chick lit that you might be interested in! Ages 20-30 preferred :)
