Phew! I think I finally caught my breath after last week’s crazy weekend and the beginning of last week. We got to meet:

  • Sharon Draper when she came to sign Out of My Mind (she was so nice by the way and it just made me love her books even more),
  • Stacey Jay with Undead Much (another incredible person and author!), and
  • Lindsey Leavitt with Princess for Hire (she was so down to earth and genuine).

We had a great story time and got ready for Erin Hunter to come visit us! She was here on Tuesday to sign her newest book, Warriors, Omen of the Stars #2 Fading Echoes. Did you know her real name is Victoria Holmes and she has three other people help her write these books? She was so much fun to meet and we had such a great turnout!! We still have signed copies!!

Then, Mike Artell, author of Petite Rouge, stopped by to sign his books, including his newest picture book, Jacques and de Beanstalk. I love his book! They are so much fun to read aloud because of all the Cajun words. So we have been quite busy around here!

Breaking News!!

Speaking of signed copies of books, I am happy to be the first one to announce on the blog that Mississippi’s John Grisham has written a Young Adult series and the first book, entitled Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer, is coming out on May 25th! And yes, we will have SIGNED FIRST EDITIONS!!! You can already pre-order, so get your name on the list today! This book will be for any kid old enough to read Percy Jackson and up. I cannot wait to get my hands on this book and give you a full review, but until then, here’s the cover! I just think it’s great. Every time I see it, it makes me want to read it right now! So hurry up and get your name on our list via web, phone, or by just coming in the store!

Amazing Signing This Wednesday!

And this week on Wednesday, April 21 at 5:00, we have the amazing J & P Voelkel coming to sign their book, The Jaguar Stones #1 Middleworld. Their paperback release is this month and they have this great presentation all about Mayan civilization and culture, but also lots of great info about Mayan mythology. Think Percy Jackson meets Indiana Jones. So cool! I’m reading it right now, and I cannot put it down!! Don’t miss this fun book and amazing event!!! Perfect for that kid who has jsut finished The Last Olympian and needs something new to read. What’s so great about this book is that you can come meet the author, get a signed book, and because it’s a paperback book, spend less than $10! I am telling you, if you aren’t here on Wednesday, you are missing out!!!

Then on May 18th at 5:00, Margaret McMullen will be here to sign her new book, Sources of Light. It is set in Jackson during the 1960s and is a definite must if you live in Jackson. More to come on this event the closer it gets to the signing date, but I just wanted to let y’all know so you can go ahead and mark your calendar. If you liked The Help, you will love this book!! This book will be great not only for kids, but also for parents who have been itching to talk about the issues in The Help with their kids.
