this time I start hearing from families and book clubs and wintry-minded folks of all ages who are beginning their annual reads of <em>Greenglass House</em> and <em>Ghosts of Greenglass House</em>. This year, because <em>The Raconteur’s Commonplace Book</em> just came out in paperback and because I was completely inspired by <a href="https://debbimichikoflorence.com/2023/09/grace-debbis-very-asian-book-trip/">Grace Lin’s and Debbi Michiko Florence’s Very Asian Book Trip</a>, I decided to head out for a few stock-signing day trips. After all, when the weather turns, it’s the best time to book your Nagspeake holiday vacation. Greenglass House and the Blue Vein Tavern always have rooms ready for you!</p> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Here’s my holiday road trip schedule. These are not book events or readings (unless otherwise noted)–I’m just swooping in to sign stock. But if you or anyone you know needs a trip to Nagspeake, these are great places to shop, and every one of them will ship books for you. Where I have additional information (like whether personalization is possible, or whether you need to use specific links to order) I’ll add that info–but <strong>you can always call the stores in question to inquire and place orders</strong>. </p> <p class="has-text-color has-large-font-size" style="color:#a30003">11/15: </p> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><a href="https://www.strandbooks.com/">Strand Books</a>, 828 Broadway at 12th Street, NYC, (212) 473-1452 </p> <p class="has-medium-font-size">You can use these links to buy signed copies from Strand: </p> <ul class="wp-block-list"><li><a href="https://www.strandbooks.com/product/9780544540286?title=greenglass_house_book_1">Signed <em>Greenglass House</em></a></li><li><a href="https://www.strandbooks.com/product/9780358663355?title=the_raconteurs_commonplace_book_a_greenglass_house_story">Signed <em>The Raconteur’s Commonplace Book</em></a></li></ul> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><a href="https://booksofwonder.com/">Books of Wonder</a>, 42 West 17th Street, NYC, (212) 989-3270</p> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Call to order signed copies.
