What a fantastic time we had on Independent Bookstore Day yesterday – thanks to YOU! Our indie bookseller adventure guides (above from l-r Caton, Emma, Shari and Makayla, not pictured Kirsten) had the opportunity to connect with regular readers, new readers, and authors from as close as up the street and as far as Seattle, Washington.
Our sincerest thanks to you all for a wonderful day. Our thanks also to Eva’s on Main, Frothy Beard, Wine & Tapas and Coastal Coffee for their literary specials that made readers feel even more special…
Yesterday’s very first speaker of the day, Gregory Erich Phillips, will be BACK from 11 am ’til 1 pm today – if you didn’t get a chance to meet him or grab a signed copy of one of his award-winning books, come on out. HINT: Award-winning books signed by award-winning authors make GREAT Mother’s Day gifts!
HAPPY MAY DAY and we’ll be back with more news later this week…. See you on Main Street!
