TORONTO PEOPLE: a reminder that I am doing an event with the wonderful Claire Foster at Type Books on Queen Street West, September 2, at 7pm. Come and have a chat and browse one of Toronto's loveliest bookstores...
#greyhound #typebooks #toronto #queenwest
I will be in conversation with the brilliant @clairefoster to talk non-fiction, solo travel, ideas of 'home' and of course the good old Greyhound Bus (among many other subjects ...)
See you there!

People line up inside a bookstore, waiting to meet the author seated at a table near the front. The author, wearing a blue sweater, signs books while a display with blue balloons and a sign that reads "I'm Bored" is visible nearby. Bookshelves filled with books line the left side of the store.

Grateful to #TypeBooks in Toronto for hosting my very first #KidLit book launch (I'M BORED) in 2012. Photo: @andytolson.bsky.social.
Psst: I included a "Type Books event" post-it in one of my illus for #ImBusy, which launches Feb 2026. 😉🩷
Thank you Claire and our wonderful friends at Type Books (QueenW) where you'll find 2025 Griffin Poetry Prize Longlisted DALE MARTIN SMITH "The Size of Paradise" on their poetry display table front of house. #TypeBooks #QueenW #npm25 #KFB #GriffinPoetryPrize
Posing with my 'Books and the City' books at Another Story Bookstore. I am wearing all black with a gold/pink/green floaty jacket over the top.
Me in the snow, outside Type Books. (Red haired white woman wearing a black coat with a furry collar and a purple shirt underneath) The sign overhanging the street is backwards because Stupid Selfie.
Thank you, thank you @anotherstoryto.bsky.social and #TypeBooks !
'Books and the City' got a lovely welcome at both places and I loved answering all your great questions too.
I am so tired now that instead of going out celebrating, I am eating Timbits in bed BECAUSE I CAN.
