Greetings, Readers!
Hope you all are having a nice week in this chilly Moscow
winter. We certainly are!
If you've got Christmas shopping to do still, we have a
few books left in stock yet, come on by and we'll help you find the perfect
one! Also, our famous and always appreciated BookPeople of Moscow giftcards
(also available in plastic 'Book Sense Gift Card' format, usable at
independent booksellers nation-wide) are still available.
BookPeople is currently selling tickets for: Burns Night,
the annual celebration of Scotland's most famous poet. January 25th at the
University Inn, be there! Also, we have a new book in stock: The Burns
Supper Companion - your essential, one-stop resource for understanding
everything about the Burns Night festivities. Tell your friends! We also
have a companion to Burns Night available, for those who are not quite sure
what to make of all of it. Makes a great gift for the Burns Night novice!
Jeff Jones, a University of Idaho lecturer, will have a
short nonfiction piece, "Children of Cain", appear in Pushcart Prize #32.
The Pushcart Prize compilations highlight some of the best little-known
literature out there, and winning a spot in them is a mighty fine
achievement. Congratulations, Jeff!
A few events for you: The Mirror Theater presents
Shakespeare Sundays! You, the audience, will do the acting for these
performances. Come sign in at 1:15 for the part you're dying to play. No
preference is given for race, gender, or age, and scripts are provided! If
you're musically inclined, then come accompany the acts on your instrument
of choice! The schedule: Henry the Fourth, Part I: January 13th and 27th
Hamlet: February 10th, 24th and March 16th The Tempest: May 4th and 18th. A
two-dollar contribution is required to participate. The plays will be based
on the Oxford Shakespeare, second edition, but as noted above, scripts will
be provided! For more information, visit
www.MirrorTheater.org !
Also, we have our first established event at BookPeople
for 2008! Pat Cary Peek, author of "One Winter in the Wilderness", will have
a reading and signing at BookPeople from 11am-1pm. The event is for her new
novel, "Silver Threads: War in the Couer d' Alenes 1891-1892". The book
tells the story of the McCarthy family and their struggles in the strikes
and conflict surrounding the Bunker Hill Mine.
The Family Series is returning to Beasley Coliseum at WSU
for a 6th year! These family-oriented productions are perfect for fun-loving
parents and kids, and are a steal at only $6 for adult tickets and $4 for
kids under 13. The events this year are: Mad Science presents "Newton's
Revenge" Monday, February 11th (2008) - 7:00pm Fred Garbo's Inflatable
Theater Monday, April 7th (2008) - 7:00pm
Finally, I'm afraid I won't be here next week,
Readers - I'm spending Christmas down in Boise. So I'd like to take this
opportunity to wish all of you a very merry Christmas from all of us here at
BookPeople!
Thank you for reading, and I hope you all have a good
holiday season. We'll see you in January!
