I don’t know how to measure a good day or good year without thinking about the books I have read and will read. Last year was pretty incredible on so many levels, and if you check out our past authors, you’ll see that I got to engage with so many writers about the incredible work... Continue Reading →
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... Continue Reading →
Junction Reads has been presenting great prose since 2014. A unique reading series that presents the best fiction and non-fiction from independently published Canadian authors.

October is the best month (it just is) but mainly because the air is filled with the sights, sounds and smells of new books! Toronto is bustling with bookish events! The Toronto Book Awards will be announced on October 10. Another Story Book Shop's schedule is jammed with literary events. And if you want to... Continue Reading →
It is that time of year again, when we at Junction Reads both celebrate – and sadly wave goodbye to – another fantastic season of readings. Why do I celebrate?
