A Kirkland Reading and a Holiday Special!
Jeannine Hall Gailey and Joannie Stangeland Read at Kirkland’s Park Place Books
Wednesday December 14 at 7 PM
I’m kind of nervous about this reading with Joannie Stangeland tomorrow night at Kirkland’s Park Place Books, partially because it’s the holidays and maybe everyone is too busy to show up at a poetry reading and also because the East side’s readings are sometimes less well-attended than downtown Seattle readings…but Joannie is a doll and a really fun reader with a brand new book and if you haven’t seen me read from She Returns to the Floating World yet, you should come out!
And, for all your holiday gift-giving needs (and, note the previous post on poetry economics!):
Super special! Get my first book, Becoming the Villainess, and my second book, She Returns to the Floating World, both signed to the person of your choice, for only $21!! I’ll include some special holiday swag too!
And if you pick up a copy of my new book, She Returns to the Floating World, for the full price of $12 (including shipping right now during the holidays,) not only will you get the cool swag and signature, you will also get this cool new magnet thing (some may differ slightly from this one, but will include some part of the book cover) that my husband Glenn has made:
