📚 In Good Company: Books, Coffee & Conversation

Sat, Nov 14, 4:30 PM
From In Good Company - Toronto
4.9

**📖**☕🌿**A Saturday morning gathering over Coffee & Book discussion.** After a little break, I'm looking forward to bringing our book gatherings back! This time, we're trying a new location — the beautiful Toronto Reference Library. Bring a book you love, are currently reading, or have been curious about for a while. We'll share recommendations, exchange ideas and enjoy a relaxed Saturday morning in good company. I might prepare a few discussion prompts for this event as well. There's no reading list or preparation needed, and new faces are always welcome. **📍 Where:** Toronto Reference Library, 789 Yonge Street, main floor **🕦 When:** Saturday, 11:30 am–1:00 pm **📚 A little about the location:** I'll arrive earlier and do my best to find a large table where we can sit together. As this is our first gathering here, seating will depend on availability, so a little flexibility may be needed. Look for a small *In Good Company* sign on the main floor. I will post an update with the photo once I'm seated somewhere. ☕There's also a lovely café inside the library if you'd like to pick up a drink beforehand and bring it inside. **A small favour:** As places are limited, please update your RSVP if your plans change so someone else can join. Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces and meeting new ones! 🌿

November's Book: Wild Dark Shore

November's Book: Wild Dark Shore

Wed, Nov 18, 12:00 AM
From Toronto Ladies Book Club
4.8

A family on a remote island. A mysterious woman washed ashore. A rising storm on the horizon. Dominic Salt and his three children are caretakers of Shearwater, a tiny island not far from Antarctica. Home to the world’s largest seed bank, Shearwater was once full of researchers, but with sea levels rising, the Salts are now its final inhabitants. Until, during the worst storm the island has ever seen, a woman mysteriously washes ashore. Isolation has taken its toll on the Salts, but as they nurse the woman, Rowan, back to strength, it begins to feel like she might just be what they need. Rowan, long accustomed to protecting herself, starts imagining a future where she could belong to someone again. But Rowan isn’t telling the whole truth about why she set out for Shearwater. And when she discovers sabotaged radios and a freshly dug grave, she realizes Dominic is keeping his own secrets. As the storms on Shearwater gather force, they all must decide if they can trust each other enough to protect the precious seeds in their care before it’s too late—and if they can finally put the tragedies of the past behind them to create something new, together. A novel of breathtaking twists, dizzying beauty, and ferocious love, *Wild Dark Shore* is about the impossible choices we make to protect the people we love, even as the world around us disappears.

November Meetup: Theo of Golden by Allen Levi

November Meetup: Theo of Golden by Allen Levi

Sat, Nov 14, 6:00 PM
From Books & Brunch Meetup
4.7

Book Description: One spring morning, a stranger arrives in the small southern city of Golden. No one knows where he has come from…or why… His name is Theo. And he asks a lot more questions than he answers. Theo visits the local coffeehouse, where ninety-two pencil portraits hang on the walls, portraits of the people of Golden done by a local artist. He begins purchasing them, one at a time, and putting them back in the hands of their “rightful owners.” With each exchange, a story is told, a friendship born, and a life altered. A story of giving and receiving, of seeing and being seen, Theo of Golden is a beautifully crafted novel about the power of creative generosity, the importance of wonder to a purposeful life, and the invisible threads of kindness that bind us to one another.

Holiday Book Exchange & December's Book: Don't Let Him In

Holiday Book Exchange & December's Book: Don't Let Him In

Wed, Dec 16, 12:00 AM
From Toronto Ladies Book Club
4.8

**We'll be doing our annual holiday book exchange! Please bring a wrapped book (new or gently used), with a few words of description written on the outside. This is optional, but it's a fun way to get a book you never might have picked up.** Don't Let Him In: Three women are connected by one man in this kaleidoscopic thriller. He’s the perfect man. It’s a perfect lie. Nina Swann is intrigued when she received a condolence card from Nick Radcliffe, an old friend of her late husband, who is looking to connect after her husband’s unexpected death. Nick is a man of substance and good taste. He has a smile that could melt the coldest heart and a knack for putting others at ease. But to Nina’s adult daughter, Ash, Nick seems too slick, too polished, too good to be true. Without telling her mother, Ash begins digging into Nick’s past. What she finds is more than unsettling… Martha is a florist living in a neighboring town with her infant daughter and her devoted husband, Alistair. But lately, Alistair has been traveling more and more frequently for work, disappearing for days at a time. When Martha questions him about his frequent absences, he always has a legitimate explanation, but Martha can’t share the feeling that something isn’t right. Nina, Martha, and Ash are on a collision course with a shocking truth that is far darker than anyone could have imagined. And all three are about to wish they had heeded the same warning: Don’t let him in. But the past won’t stay buried forever.

Some Toronto book clubs still meet online for convenience and to accommodate more members. Virtual meetups often have flexible times, allowing more participants to join across different locations.

The frequency varies by club. Some meet monthly, offering ample time to read between gatherings, while others might get together bi-weekly. Check with specific groups on Meetup to understand their schedule.

Not all genres may have an established club, as availability depends on current member interests. However, new clubs frequently form, so keep checking for one that matches your preferences or consider starting your own!

While it's encouraged to read the book, it's not always mandatory to join the discussion. If you're unable to complete it, participating in the talk can still be rewarding and insightful.

The structure of book discussions can vary greatly since meetings are organized individually by each group. Some clubs have predefined discussion questions, while others offer open-ended dialogues.

Although Meetup is designed for group activities, you can engage in discussions and exchange personal book recommendations with fellow members during meetings or within group forums.

Search for the author's name in Meetup's search bar to discover dedicated fan clubs or meetings focusing specifically on their work. This method increases your chances of meeting like-minded readers.
