Okay, I sit here drinking my coffee and watching the snow fall and realize I've been very bad at keeping up with the blog. But, I vow this will change, starting today.
I'm very excited about our event this week with Jay Craven, our own award-winning filmmaker. You see, in an alternate life, I would have loved to make movies, so I can't wait to pepper him with questions on Thursday. Come at 6pm for a screening of Disappearances followed by a discussion with Jay at 8pm. If you don't have time for the film, come after you've put the kids to bed and be part of the discussion with this very talented filmmaker, writer, director. Copies of the film will be for sale as well the book by Howard Frank Mosher that the movie is based on.
If you'd like to know more about our events, sign up to be on our email list. We send out one event email a month that lists all our upcoming events and there's always a money saving coupon you can print out to save 20-25% off a book.
This is the time of year when Elizabeth and I order all the new books for the Spring and Summer and I must say there are some great books coming out. Two of my favorites have new new books: Augusten Burroughs has a memoir about his father, Wolf at the Table, coming in April, and David Sedaris has a new essay collection out this June, When You are Engulfed in Flames. Call the bookstore to reserve a copy of either book.

Happy New Year
Well, 2008 has begun! Last year ended with a flourish of crazy, fun and long shopping days. Today is our first day back at work since we closed for a week of R and R. And we're excited to be back.
We are already planning our Flying Pig year. Some highlights include:
the beginning of both an adult and teen book group starting up in February- call the store to find out what we'll be reading; the resumption of writing classes in the Loft, so far we've got the amazingly talented young adult author, Chris Tebbetts, on board in April and May to teach writing the Young Adult novel-- a class suitable for teens and adults; look for a poetry writing workshop in April and picture book writing sometime in the Spring.
Laura Numeroff, author of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and many more, is scheduled to come for a visit on March 9th. Michael Buckley, author of the Sister's Grimm, Fairy Tale Detective series (great for ages 9 and up) is slated to join us during the first of May.
We are working hard to bring even more authors to the store then we had last year, so keep checking the website or come by the store for more details.
Happy New Year!
