So, Scott, you're giving the same presentation again next Monday? What time? Very interesting selection of books!
ReplyDeleteYes...this time it'll be at the Gere Branch, from 2:30 until around 4:00. I'll only be taking "in depth" about 6 or 7 of these titles, and skimming briefly over the rest, though... :-)

I'll also probably do a shortened variation on this booktalk as part of this summer's Courtyard Book Chats (which will be held Tuesdays at 12:15 p.m. at the Lincoln Foundation Garden across N St. from Bennett Martin Public Library), sometime in June, July or August.
