About This Event

"You’re invited! Celebrate the start of patio season with a good book and a new connection. We're bringing readers back to the hidden patio at Queen Mother Cafe - a unique city experience at one of Toronto's legacy cafes. Our reading party theme will be a celebration of Asian Heritage Month. You're encouraged to bring a book by an author of Asian heritage, and enjoy some of the city's best Lao/Thai dishes offered on the Queen Mother menu. In case you're new here: ​​Reading Rhythms is a series of welcoming reading parties designed to make it easy for people to gather and read socially. We invite you to bring any book you want and facilitate silent reading periods, as well as 1-on-1 breakouts, and group discussions to pull on the threads of the books that everyone is engaging with. Our favourite conversations happen in the Reading Rhythms mobile app. Join us there → https://readingrhythms.app _________________________________________________________________________________ Disclaimer: By purchasing a ticket, you agree to have your photo/video used for social media/marketing materials, both as property of Reading Rhythms and other publications that may be present at our reading parties.

What Readers Say

Quotes icon

"I leave every single Reading Rhythms party feeling like skipping all the way home even if the work day preceding it makes me tired or kind of cranky. I love seeing the stars in all your eyes as you depart as well, gives me goosebumps!"

— Regular Attendee

Quotes icon

"I'm 88 years old and moved to Hudson Yards to be closer to my grandkids. I think this is a wonderful idea."

— Judith

Quotes icon

"We're embedded with everyday superficial conversations, the kind of small talk that is essentially bland, useless and tasteless. RR gives people the chance to connect similar people together in the same room."

— Community Member

Quotes icon

"That first event I attended was really cool for me because I'd been wanting to just read more often and making a plan to just go somewhere and read really kept me accountable to that."

— NYC Newcomer

Quotes icon

"I'm so glad I found Reading Rhythms! I had no idea how much I needed and wanted to connect with other readers. Last night was another exceptional experience, full of connection, laughter, and community."

— Stacee

Quotes icon

"Event space was great. Host brought great energy. Really enjoyed the quiet time reading and the conversation in the middle. Did get slightly distracted by the music (but only because it was good and I was Shazam'ing it)."

— Bradley Layton

Quotes icon

"It reminded me why I attend Reading Rhythms in the first place. Not only do they care about the readers, but they also champion the small businesses that helped shape this community in the first place."

— Andres

Quotes icon

"I really enjoyed the choice to read by the sea, the atmosphere, and the connection that was created with the other readers."

— Bernardina (Amalfi Coast)
