Bring a book and join a room full of readers for a community-powered kickoff to our biggest in-person day at the Festival of Literary Diversity. In partnership with Reading Rhythms, this event blends dedicated silent reading time with space to connect, chat, and celebrate your current read.
Jackie DaSilva (she/her) is Reading Rhythms’ Toronto Chapter Lead, hosting reading parties at hidden gems in the city to bring readers together for quiet reading and intentional connection. Since early 2025, she has hosted over 20 parties and brought together 1300+ readers. The Reading Rhythms reading party is facilitated by a trained host that invites readers to bring any book they’re currently reading, listen to curated playlists, and connect with fellow readers.
