writes on Type Books' fifth anniversary. The independent Queen West
bookstore celebrated their success with a day of
free cake, tea, and readings.
"It's fun to have 'good
news' and 'books' together in the same sentence," laughs Joanne Saul,
the co-owner of Toronto independent bookstore Type Books. Saul has
plenty to smile about: Type is celebrating its fifth anniversary this
Saturday (April 30) with a full-day public-reading event at their Queen
West location. The event will feature 18 authors reading their own
material, ranging from novels to memoirs and all literary works in
between."
T"he day will consist of the authors giving "pop-up"
readings, where they emerge from within the crowd and read from their
work for two to three minutes. "It's kind of crazy; every 20 minutes
we're going to have an author 'pop up,'" Saul says. "It could be the
customer standing next to you at the magazine rack� the store will be
bustling, and the person beside you will hop on a stool and start to
read!"
