It's Labor Day weekend and we hope you all had a great summer. (Thank you for spending all those rainy days at our store!) The fall decor is coming out of the closet this week, as we get ready for what looks to be a great fall booklist. More about that in a minute.
If you haven't been to the store lately, come say "hi" to our new assistant manager, Mary, and our new bookseller, Jordan. You might know her from Food Lion or Six Pence, and you might recognize him from Panera Bread. They are both excellent additions to our already excellent staff.
On September 11th and 10:30 am, we will be at the Watauga Public library to sell books for the author signing for American Dervish by Ayad Akhtar. This is the "Watauga Reads" book for this year. The book is also for sale at the store, if you want to get your copy early.
We are very excited about hosting Sharyn McCrumb on September 30th at 7 pm. She will be discussing and signing her new book, King's Mountain. Come early if you want a chair. Sharyn always draws a big crowd.
We will let you know about other signings as they are booked.

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You obviously know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be giving us something informative to read?

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is needed to get setup? I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I'm not very web smart so I'm not 100% sure. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks
