| A Bookish Week |
|
As planned, I spent last Saturday at the National Book Festival. What a terrific event for booklovers! I started the day at the White House where the First Lady opened the Festival. This was my favorite quote from her speech: "As busy as we shall be today, and as busy as we are in general ---let this Festival remind us of the pure joy of the bookworm --- the one who sits in a quiet chair and focuses on just one thing devouring a story or argument or idea unfolding on the written page." I think we all can identify with this.
I caught up with David Baldacci at the autographing area and had him sign my copy of THE CHRISTMAS TRAIN, which will be out November 4th. He is such a pleasure to talk to --- it's as enjoyable as reading his books. And here's a tip. It's a great holiday book --- you'll be booking a train trip once you finish it! We'll have more about this in the weeks to come.
Mary Higgins Clark and her daughter Carol were just charming. Mary took some time to spend with my older son who is a real fan. I told her that she had inspired me to visit Mt. Vernon with her book. She urged me to go later that day, and I am really glad we did. I found myself sharing anecdotes from the book with my family as we walked around the house and the grounds.
For more about the National Book Festival, please read the this week's Perspective by Tony Parker, one of our reviewers. He has the whole scoop.
I got back home and heard the very sad news that Stephen Ambrose had died. Please see our tribute to him on the home page of Bookreporter.com. His writing will be missed by those who loved history and reading about it.
As always, I had fun reading your favorite book picks for fall. Last I checked, Jack the Ripper: Case Closed and Q is for Quarry were battling for the lead. We'll cover both in the weeks ahead.
We have a full lineup this week, so keep reading...
