Hi everyone!! 💖 This is now our EIGHTH book club meetup! I can’t wait to get to know you all more, hang out and talk books. For this meeting we’ll be FINISHING Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross!!!

So stay tuned!!! Don’t stress if you’re new or didn’t make it to the last meetup! This is a super chill group and we’re mostly here to chat, vibe, and obsess over books together.

Short Reads Social #11: Thought changers! (Aug 11th)

**What's changed your mind or how you think recently?** \-\-\- Short-Read Socials are back! Come meet with like-minded and unlikeminded people to talk about the topic of the month. ...this month, the topic is up to you! Bring something you've been reading/watching/listening to recently that changed how you see the world, a specific phenomena, trend, or current issue. It can be a book, essay, video, movie, audiobook, podcast, story about an experience/event, whatever you want! We're trying a new format. It's like a (voluntary) show and tell where you will get time to share your chosen piece of media with the table, explaining what it is and how it changed how you think about the world, a phenomena, trend, or current issue. \-\-\- **How does it work?** 1. Pick a piece of media (book, article, video essay, movie, podcast, etc.) that changed how you think. 2. Come to the event, share about your piece of media for a couple minutes, and then talk about it with everyone else. 3. Open philosophical discussion, including for controversial topics, is welcome but be respectful :) 4. Feel free to share the piece you're bringing ahead of time (articles, blogs, movies, tv episodes, video essays, etc.) in the comments! 5. We also would love suggestions for future topics or books for later meetups!

Summer Social at Sneaky Dee's

Come out for good times and nachos! Our regular online book discussions are on hiatus, so we're taking the opportunity for an IRL get-together. Of course, our group spans far and wide now, but if you can make it to downtown Toronto, we hope you'll join us! (Sneaky's is cash only, so come prepared.)

Bookish Bi Reading Club

Monthly Book Club - August - Chillax & Co (Richmond Hill)

Note: we changed the venue from the original listed location. Please update your rsvps as needed. In this book club, you read a book based on a theme and we all discuss the book each chose. If you just want to come out and join without reading a book that is perfectly fine. The theme for this month is Beach Read. The next meetup will be at Chillax & Co, 9580 Yonge St Unit 101, Richmond Hill, ON L4C 1V6. Please do not RSVP unless you intend to come. We will confirm with you up to 5 days before the event that you are attending. If you cannot confirm at that time, we unfortunately cannot reserve a spot for you. NOTE: No Shows will be removed from Richmond Hill Friends. Hope to see you all there.

The Bloom Collective (TBC)

Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman #TBC 1

The Toronto Artist's Way Meetup Monthly Meetup

The purpose of the group, based on the book The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron, is for people to meet and talk about their artistic challenges in any field (painting, writing, music etc.) and encourage each other to break their creative blocks and fulfill themselves in their art. If you find people who are sympathetic, you may want to form your own group, meeting regularly to explore the book and supporting each other in their artistic journeys. I have gone through 2 such clusters and can say that it is a very powerful experience. Why not come to a meeting and see for yourself?

Book talk

Let's get together at Silk 111 Bakery and Cafe and discuss books that interest us! Books we're reading, books we've read or books we'd like to read. Fiction, non-fiction, short stories, poetry, magazine articles, comic books...
