Looking ahead

This is not the last time I will mention this, but I thought I would give everyone a heads-up about our next author visit. On Tuesday September 16th, author Susan Wiggs will be in Ketchikan to discuss her books. A bestselling romance author, Wiggs has her first hardcover novel arriving in bookstores this fall, and it has already received good reviews (the title is Just Breathe, and we currently have it on order). Well known for her touching romances that incorporate both triumph over adversity and a sense of humor, Wiggs is a wonderful reading choice for anyone who enjoys Nora Roberts or Debbie Macomber. We have eight of Ms. Wiggs' books on our shelves, so I am posting this entry 3 weeks before her visit so that people will have a chance to read them (if you haven't done so already) in time for the Sept. 16th presentation.

On a side note, I would like to let everyone know that I am taking a brief hiatus from the blog. My mother-in-law is coming to visit, and like all wise daughters-in-law, I am scouring my house from top to bottom in preparation for her visit. (I am not - like someone I know - putting new siding on my house, but it's darn close). Have no fear...just because I'm not here yakking about them, it doesn't mean that there aren't lots of new novels, CDs and audiobooks sitting out there on the shelves for your perusal. See you again on Saturday....
