Dear Reader,   

 

     So many things happening this week! The Warriors, the A's, the author events at the store!

I know the Warriors play on Thursday night, but I want all the wonderful A's fans to be here to meet Susan Slusser at 6. Then you can go home and watch the last half. That's where the excitement is anyway. Plus you can enter for a pair of tickets to the June 21 A's Game! 

    And then on Friday, we are celebrating dads with two wonderful authors, Armin Brott and Will Gannon. 

   If you have a dad in your life, new dad, great dad, or simply are a dad, please come and meet these two great guys.

    Saturday we have a children's event that I really want you all (with kids) to come to. We will host picture book author/illustrator Bethanie Deeny Murguia at 11am complete with art and even crafty activities!

 

Happy reading, 

Luan

Meet Kimber Simpkins, author of a new memoir

 

Yoga teacher and writer Kimber Simpkins will be coming to read from her debut book Full: How I Learned to Satisfy My Hunger and Feed My Soul. Speaking from the heart, Simpkins will talk about how to find satisfaction for hunger, both physical and spiritual.

Full is the true, poignant story of one woman's spiritual journey as she recovers from anorexia, eases the emotional pain of her hunger through yoga and Buddhism, and finally becomes full.
