Sold Out Reading

It was a cold and stormy night, but that did not daunt our audience: We were sold out! Thank you all who made our November 18 launch such a success. Edeet Ravel and David Rotenberg were hits! Sadly Scott Bakker was ill, but writer-pal and reading attendee Caitlin Sweet read for him...now that's a friend in deed! Books were flying off Ryerson's sales table and we suspect that many Christmas shopping lists were considerably shortened last night. A great success, a great launch.

Now into the future: Our three authors for January 27 reading are set and ready to go. Chef Jennifer Mclagan will be speaking about her delicious new book Fat: An appreciation. She has received some heavy media attention on this, so come out and hear what she has to say. Next up will be Dr. Bryce Wylde...you know the guy....you've seen his good lookin' mug on Breakfast Television. He is the nutritionist with personality. His new book The Antioxidant Prescription hits the shelves late December so TRS is one of his first stops. Come and learn how to easily get that holiday waist back into shape and feel terrific all over.

Finally we welcome the hilarious, witty and always clever Patricia Pearson. Her new book A Brief History of Anxiety rounds out the evening, giving us lots of fun and easy ideas on how to beat the January blaaahs and erase anxiety from our lives. Pearson, a Stephen Leacock Humour Award Winner (and also granddaughter to one of Canada's finest and most famous PM's) has that unique ability to look at the human condition with compassion and humour.

Remember, our first event sold out...we were packed! Don't miss out...get your tickets early from Commensal or from our terrific sponsor Ryerson University Bookstores.

Buy books for Christmas and be sure to get a couple for yourself....
