Recap: Toronto Comic Arts Festival 2013

Having gone last year and thoroughly enjoying ourselves, Christa (@ More Than Just Magic) and I decided to meet up once again to explore the annual Toronto Comic Arts Festival (TCAF), a free event held at the Toronto Reference Library. We started our morning by meeting Ardo (@ A Wordsmith) at the nearby Starbucks which, upon [...]

Recap: Razorbill Fall 2013 Preview

Last Friday, a group of bloggers and avid readers were invited to the Penguin Canada head office for the Razorbill Fall Preview. Arriving just before 6pm and bumping into Ardo by the elevators, we were greeted with a jam-packed boardroom full of familiar faces who were excited to see each other as well as what’s [...]

Recap: Ania Szado’s Studio Saint Ex book launch party

Back in April, on one of the first days that really started to feel like Spring, Andrea (Cozy Up With a Good Read) and I met up after work to head down to Ania Szado’s book launch for her novel Studio Saint Ex. Held at the gorgeous Ben McNally bookstore, I was immediately taken with [...]

Recap: Every Never After Book Launch Party with Lesley Livingston

Last Friday, Lesley Livingston hosted her book launch party for Every Never After, the sequel to her 2011 book Once Every Never, over at Dominion on Queen, in the East end of Toronto.

Recap: Lunch with Becky Masterman

Originally to be a wine & cheese reception, due to scheduling conflicts it became an impromptu lunch instead and I had the privilege of being extended an invitation to the lovely intimate meal. It was a little intimidating at first, being among such amazing people in the industry such as Sarah Murdoch from the Toronto [...]

Recap: Body Reset Diet with Harley Pasternak

While I have been trying to eat a bit healthier lately, I’m not usually one to try out diets because, in all honesty, if you’ve met me you’ll know that losing weight is not my issue – it’s keeping it on. So when my friend Katie (Lives in Heels) started reading Harley Pasternak’s book Body [...]

Recap: Macaron Day Aftermath

As I mentioned earlier today, March 20th is Macaron Day across numerous cities worldwide, including Toronto. Yum! Tiffanie (Mostly YA Lit) and I had plans to go check out at least 4 of ‘em after work. With the first day of Spring starting off freezing cold and snowy, waking up with a migraine, I had high [...]

Recap: The Original Wedding Soirée

While the original wedding “soirée” was held in the daytime rather than the evening, as the name purportedly means, it was a beautifully fanciful event. An immensely better experience than my first wedding show experience a month or so ago, this event had 100% more classy, tasteful and relevant information for me and my style. I [...]

Recap: Scarlet Book Tour with Marissa Meyer

Showing up at Indigo Yorkdale this past Saturday just after 10am, I thought that would be plenty of time to get a good spot before Marissa Meyer’s 12pm signing. Little did I know that Wendy and I were certainly not the first to arrive! We spotted Ardo (A Wordsmith), Siobhan (Conversations of a Reading Addict), [...]

Recap: Reading, Writing and Waffles… oh my!

About half a year ago, a group of us thought it’d be fun to get away for the weekend on a reading retreat of sorts – where we do nothing but get through our TBR pile all weekend. I think most of us figured it was just a passing idea, until Sara (Geek Girl’s Book [...]
