Little Bee author at Seattle Libraries

Great news. Little Bee is this year's selection for Seattle Reads, and the author is making a number of appearances around town in May. You can get all the information here: http://www.spl.org/audiences/adults/adu-calendar-of-events#/?i=3
Highlights include: Book It Repertory Theatre staged readings of Little Bee at the Greenwood Branch library on Monday, May 2 (7 p.m.), and on Friday (1 p.m.) May 13 at the Central Library. And several meet the author events, including An Evening with Chris Cleave at 7 p.m. Friday, May 13 at the Central Library. He'll also be at other branch libraries on several dates in May.

My May is really packed, so I'm not sure which of these (if any) I'll be able to make it to. But I know how much everyone loved the book, so hopefully someone can make it to one or more of these events.

Book by Diane Ackerman

Do you remember the Zookeeper's Wife? I loved that book. Incredible story, beautifully told with gorgeous prose. The author, Diane Ackerman, has another book out. It's due out this month; the title is One Hundred Names for Love. I'd love to consider this for our group.

I also noticed the another of my favorite authors, Anna Quindlen, has a book out I haven't read: Every Last One. It's now in paperback. Has anyone read this one?
