Writer Gin Phillips was at the Florence Lauderdale Public Library last night. I loved her first book, The Well and the Mine, which was set in Carbon Hill, Alabama, just down the road from me. Sorry for the quality of the photos; they are borrowed from Amazon.
Gin's new book, Come in and Cover me, is a total departure from the depression-era coal-mining/farming book that her first one was. I haven't finished it yet, but so far, it is just as good.
I love meeting writers and listening to them....it just makes their books seem so personal. Our library is the best; there is always something going on there! We plan to be there on Sunday afternoon for a program about the Civil War. Local peeps, I hope to see you there!
I love our library, too. They are presently having a book sale. I also love books!
ReplyDeleteThere is a church thrift store near my house that gets new books every week. I have found so many treasures there--$.25 for paperbacks, $.50 for hardbacks. Our library has a book store that sells donated books. They raise thousands of dollars for the library every year. I try to do my part! :)
