At McIntyre's Books
Gentle Reader – July 16
Dear Gentle Reader,
The crepe myrtles are bursting forth, and Keebe is in Atlanta this week, checking out AmericasMart for new fun things for the fall. Please know that NOW, before she even places an order, there are new summer puzzles for your beach and mountain get togethers. We even have a couple of Olympic puzzles to get you revved up for the competitions later this month. Go USA!
Pete just got back from a staycation and is so jazzed about a couple of books he read. Swing by McIntyre’s to pick his brain on what to read for your break.
A quick heads up… Next week we have a flurry of events.
Beginning with Thursday the 25th at 10:30am, we host a special storytime with Aimee Lucido for her adorable picture book Pasta Pasta Lotsa Pasta. Then on the Saturday the 26th at 11am, Georgann Eubanks will be here with contributors Marjorie Hudson and Phillip Shabazz to launch the publication of Paul Green: North Carolina Writers on the Legacy of the State’s Most Celebrated Playwright. Sunday, July 27, our poetry series cosponsored with the NC Poetry Society sees Kathy Ackerman, Cal Nordt, and Khalisa Rae taking the mic.
We are on pins and needles waiting for Juliet Grames to get here on August 3rd. Juliet’s book, The Lost Boy of Santa Chionia, is a rare unanimous staff pick and one of the hottest, most sought after books of summer. “Grames shines in this intriguing story of buried secrets in an isolated Southern Italian village . . . She excels at rendering the experiences of living as a stranger in a close-knit community . . . and she manages to keep the reader guessing as to the truth about who was murdered and why. This is a superior literary mystery.” —Publishers Weekly (starred)
All the best from the Usual Suspects,
Pete, Johanna, Sarah, Tyler, Beth and Keebe
