This is my favourite time of year! I know it’s contentious (I will miss summer, and I love winter, and then I DO look forward to spring), but come on, let’s think about it for a minute. September ushers in so many good things. If you’re a parent, you get to blow kisses in the schoolyard and then go hang out with grown-ups, or if you’re a writer, you get that alone time you’ve been dreaming of all summer. If you’re not a parent, you get to go to the park and listen to the birds and not the screaming children. You can also get a great cottage rental for cheaper, and still jump in the lake. You can take the dog for a walk without two coats of sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat and sweaty feet. All these things are good, but the absolute best thing about Fall is that all the reading series, literary events, book launches, literary festivals and other fab bookish things are back!!!
AND THE EXCITEMENT STARTS HERE!!!!
Check out our Fall lineup. We will post our full schedule soon, but grab your calendar and pencil us in. And while we are thrilled to have raised enough money to pay the authors below, we still need your support for our Winter and Spring line-up. Donate here (please)!
You can purchase all the books from TYPE Books in the Junction. 2887 Dundas Street West. And if you join us online and/or in person, your donation will get you a raffle ticket for book bundles and other freebies.
