Independent Book Store & Local Authors
*I feel so fortunate to live in the Twin Cities area.
*Between St. Paul and Minneapolis we have many independent bookstores.
*Most of these bookstores host author events on a regular basis.
*This past Sunday, September 22nd Magers & Quinn hosted an educator's night for local teachers.
*They hosted authors Erin Soderberg and Rebecca K.S. Ansari. Erin has written many middle-grade novels and series. My readers are currently reading The Quirks as our first "Breakfast with Books" book club selection.
*This past summer I read The Missing Piece of Charlie O'Reilly and absolutely loved it. During my visit to the bookstore I had the honor of meeting Rebecca for the first time. She and I are going to work together and bring her novel and my readers together for a future book club.
*During the evening, the authors asked each other questions about their novels and writing process. They also shared some of their favorite middle-grade books that they have recently read.
*Here are some images from my "field trip" to Minneapolis...
