 Recently spent a splendid week in Nashville.  We visited their public library and it was very impressive.  I must say, this library portrayed below in China may have it beat.  I doubt my books are in there, but still.

Pernassus Book Store

Some may have heard of Pernassus Book Store, situated in Nashville, TN.  It is an iconic, independent bookstore owned and operated by Ann Patchett.  It was a brave act to open such a store six years ago, going against the strong current of a mighty river.  There was a reading the night we attended.  Joan Silber reading from her novel Improvement.  It was a delightful evening.  Hard to not like a bookstore with such friendly staff and a dog running around like he owned the place.

 Ordinary Strangers won the 2018 Hunt For The Great B.C. Novel Contest with Mother Tongue Publishing.

"You know a movie or a book has got you hooked when you start feeling relieved when bad things don't happen to the characters, when it's looking like they will.  A sophisticated novel about unsophisticated people."  --  Alan Twigg


​"Never since Jack Hodgins made mirth and myth out of lumberjacks has Settler Coast culture been so accurately rendered"  --  Linda Rogers
