Toronto Book Club

Chinatown

     Stayed in Toronto this past Thursday for my book club.  After work, I walked downtown, bought a new winter coat from MEC, had dinner at Banh Mi Boys on Queen Street near Spadina (delicious!) and walked up Spadina then along College at sunset (golden hour!).

     It was incredibly cold out and my hands froze every time I took off my gloves to take a picture.  I went back to work to escape the cold and have some warming mint tea, then took the subway over to the book club host's place.
     It was nearly a full house and we had some lively discussion about the book.  I had never read anything by P.D. James before and was amazed that she was in her 90s when she wrote it!  It is a continuation of Pride and Prejudice (it's 200 year anniversary is this Monday by the way) and has a murder mystery thrown in.  It was entertaining but the actual solving of the mystery was a bit of a letdown.  Our lovely host, BJ, had some good food for us and we enjoyed playing with her 7 month old cat, Edwin.  I suggested a book by Sebastian Barry for the next book club, as I immensely enjoyed "On Canaan's Side" by him for my Guelph book club.
