Friday, 4/17, 4-6pm: HANG OUT AT HIGH-FIVE BOOKS (Florence, MA)
Oh, boy, this one is going to be fun. First of all, if you’re up anywhere near Florence or Northampton, MA, and you haven’t visited High-Five Books, don’t wait for April; go this weekend, and you’ll thank me later. But also, come by on April 17th for an afterschool hang-out with me! I’ll bring some stamps and we’ll make some bookmarks, and remember that High-Five is one of the three stores with preorder gifts–I have exclusive vinyl stickers to give out with purchase of Rialto, based on the original illustrations by the brilliant James Firnhaber!
Tuesday, 4/21, 4:30 pm: PARNASSUS BOOKS (Nashville, TN): RSVP encouraged
I’m so excited for this event! More information to come, but I’ll be at the spectacular Parnassus Books (my first-ever time visiting!) for a free in-store event, where I’ll be in conversation with the wonderful Kristin O’Donnell Tubb! But space is limited, so please do RSVP using this link.
Wednesday, 4/22, 6pm: BARNES AND NOBLE ANNAPOLIS (Annapolis, MD)
It’s my hometown BN! I grew up in Riva, just across the South River from Annapolis, and not only was this my local bookstore, I worked there after college until I moved to New York. They’ve hosted me for hometown book launches ever since (I think) Greenglass House, and I’m so happy to be returning to present Rialto. Come join us for storytelling and celebration.
Thursday, 4/23, 4pm: ENOCH PRATT FREE LIBRARY, EDMONSON AVENUE BRANCH (Baltimore, MD): Reservation required
I can’t wait for this one. Many of you know I’m a Maryland native and Baltimore is near and dear to my heart. I’ll be speaking at the Enoch Pratt Free Library, and I hope to see you there! Note that reservations are required; use this link to reserve your space; all in-person registered attendees receive a free book (while supplies last)!
Tuesday, 5/12 (time and further information to come): FORT SMITH PUBLIC LIBRARY, MAIN BRANCH (Fort Smith, AR)
