Hi Everyone! This group is designed, really, as a meeting place for people who are interested in meeting new friends in Toronto and love to read, or talk about other cool hobbies like makeup and shopping. The Book club will focus on fun and light literature (i.e. if Tolstoy is your thang, maybe this meetup is not?). Books that I have in mind are the Harry Potter Series, the Shopaholic series, and any other fun fiction or chick lit that you might be interested in! Ages 20-30 preferred :)
