Good morning, Oak Bay. Last year a mother and daughter started selling books out of a little truck. Now they have a shop on Estevan Avenue. Meant Well Books is my pick for a Thanksgiving wander. It's run by a mum and her ten-year-old, and one of them still has homework due. They're already hosting an after-hours book tasting: five mystery books paired with five B.C. wines, with clues to help you guess the books. The Oct. 17 event is sold out. I can see why. For this weekend: browse the new shop, then walk down to Willows. Four more plans below, plus twelve places to eat if you'd rather someone else made dinner.
