Summer Reading!

Launch Year Raving Success
WOW: what a year! Toronto Reading Series opened on a very (very) cold night in November and closed it's first year on a sultry summer evening in June. Every reading was brilliant with entertaining, fun and informative authors reading with vibrancy, wit and enthusiasm. Our special event was indeed special with Eric Siblin and Tim Dawson chatting away about all things Bach and the 'stein way' method of dating musical manuscripts! Hahahaha!

As requested and as promised we are including here the TRS Summer Reading List. Naturally you can pick up your copies of any of these books at the beautiful Ben McNally Books on Bay at Richmond.
