Bloor Street |
|
Evelyn Hannon The most fashionable shopping street in Toronto is Bloor Street -- a wonderful area that caters to the whims of the rich, the famous and the many, many fashion-conscious wanna-bees. A stroll along these sidewalks, from Yonge to Avenue Road, allows for mouthwatering window shopping at the likes of Armani, Cartier, Prada, Louis Vitton and Chanel.
It is here (55 Bloor Street) amongst all of these glorious fashion treasures that Indigo, one of Toronto’s largest, newest and nicest bookstores can be found. Definitely a treasure in its own right, this is where Journeywoman does all of her own book browsing and shopping. It is also where this article’s recommended reading list was born. Happy browsing, everybody! |

This
may not conform to a 'typical' Journeywoman guidebook suggestion,
written by women, but it's a great book. It's called Dear
Exile -- the true story of two friends separated (for a year)
by an ocean, by Hilary Liftin and Kate Montgomery.
Just published this year, it's about two women friends, one who goes
to Africa and corresponds for a year with her friend who's in New
York. Fabulous reading!

Alone & Love It -- A Flight Attendant’s Guide to Solo Travel
I’ve
thought a lot about this and I have come to the conclusion that fitting people
with books is just about as difficult as fitting women with shoes. 
If,
at the end of the saddest, the most disappointing and hurtful day, each one of
us may come to a quiet room somewhere, and that room her own, if there is a light
burning above white pillows, and a pile of books waiting under the light, then
indeed we may still praise Allah, that He has not terminated all the Delights.
