What a great event we had last night!! Minrose Gwin, a Tupelo native, was here signing and talking about her novel, The Queen of Palmyra. Lemuria’s book club, Atlantis led by our own Nan Graves Goodman (who has a great blog on the novel too), had chosen the novel as their selection for June so they were all there and another local book club joined in and we just had a ball talking about the book. I will be honest and let you know that I haven’t read The Queen of Palmyra yet but when I got home last night it moved up a few spaces in my ‘to read stack’! I am not known for keeping my opinion to myself (and yes I did say a few things) but I thoroughly enjoyed just sitting and listening to everyone there discuss the book and ask Minrose question after question.
How much fun it would be if some of our other local book clubs got in on this action!! I mean think about book clubs…how many times have you been at your meeting and discussion is going great….you get to a certain point and someone asks…”Why do you think the author decided to do that?” and then there are probably a few opinions but wouldn’t it be fantastic to just ask the author…”WHY?’ gosh you could even go with “WHO? WHAT? HOW? AND WHEN?”!!!!!
Seriously think about it!!! So I’m challenging all of y’all out there to look at Lemuria’s upcoming signing schedule and pick out an author event come up to the store buy the book and get your questions ready! If you are saying to yourself–“I’m not in a book club but would love to be”–then come on and join Atlantis, Lemuria’s book club. We would love to have you!!
