Greetings,
Once again BookPeople is sending out a weekly update for
you to fill your calendars with local events and fun. We have the perfect
gift for the principled purveyor of literary excellence: a rechargeable gift
card that can be used here at BookPeople as well as any fine independent
bookseller in the nation. We also have calendars for the new year, cards for
any occasion, and the assortment of new and used books anyone receiving this
newsletter appreciates. So keep us in mind for all your holiday gift-giving
needs!
Last week, Paula Coomer began reading her new novel, Dove
Creek. The next reading will be December 19 at 8pm. In January, she will
continue reading Tuesday nights on the 9th, followed by the 16th and finish
up the 17th. Regardless at what point you join in on the story, I think you
may find hearing the author's voice will give one a different sense of the
story.
The Idaho Washington Concert Chorale presents "Laud to
the Nativity" at St. Boniface Church in Uniontown. Get your tickets at
