If you’re one of the many fans who rabidly read any book by the New York Times Bestselling author Lee Child, you’ll have an opportunity to hear him talk when he comes to town to publicize his latest title, BAD LUCK AND TROUBLE. (The talk is free, but if time is an issue you may want to call ahead and buy your book(s) so that you get an early numbered ticket.)
If you’ve never been to the bookstore, you’re in for a treat. Stacks of books and rows of filled bookcases will tempt you with eye-catching notes hailing this book and that author. The staff is friendly and, more importantly, knowledgeable. And if you rank among the millions of fans who read Michael Connelly, you’d better mark your calendar for Tuesday, May 29th at 6:30 p.m. and for an early place in line make sure you call ahead to purchase your copy of THE OVERLOOK. The books go on sale May 22. Connelly’s talk is free.
