Went on a bookstore vacation! Visited Toronto after reading they had quite a few independent bookstores.
Ben McNally Books is where I bought The Rule of Three by Eric Walters (review to be posted in next few days) and The House at the end of Hope Street by Menna Van Praag
At Ten Editions Bookstore (used bookstore) I bought The Path to Freedom His Holiness The Dalai Lama
At another used bookstore, Seekers I picked up a couple of books by Stephen Donaldson, The Real Story and Lord Foul's Bane.
At Bakka Phoenix Books I bought Feed by Mira Grant.
At BMV Books I bought Anthem of a Reluctant Prophet by Joanne Proulx and Smoking Typewriters by John McMillian.
I also picked up another book there, that was so boring that I left it at the hotel. I won't name this book as there is no point in doing that, but decided the book might be enjoyed by another guest (reviews on Amazon were such that folks either loved it or hated it).
And finally at Book City I bought Midnight Riot by Ben Aaronovitch (and I plan on ordering the entire series)
It was great fun chatting with a few of the owners, in a casual manner. Sad that some stores I had planned on seeing had closed after 30+ years in Toronto.
Reviews will soon start up. I am closing my Facebook account as it just sucks up time to read and write :-)
