Congratulations to our buddies at Wordsmiths’ books who were recently named to the “SP 100: Atlanta’s IT List” by The Sunday Paper weekly. The citation notes:
…the Wordsmiths crew is also bringing a wide variety of authors to its appealing shop in downtown Decatur and offering plenty of reading related advice on its book blog.
All true. Some highlights of the events planned this week at Wordsmiths’ (see their events calendar for all kinds of additional fun stuff):
- Friday, 9/28: Amy Sedaris at the Decatur Recreation Center reads from I Like You
- Friday, 9/28: Fonzworth Bentley reads from Advance Your Swagger at the store
- Saturday, 9/29: Christopher Moore (You Suck, A Dirty Job, etc.) at the store
On the same page of The Sunday Paper’s SP100 List as Wordsmiths’ shout-out, favorite art guy H.C. (Chris) Warner’s Alcove Gallery also receives kudos. Chris is moving his gallery from Buckhead to Avondale Estates (next door to The James Joyce Pub - “Where the elite beat the heat by drinking fermented hoppy treats”).
Meanwhile, friend of the blog Laurel Snyder has announced that her new book, The Myth of Simple Machines, is now available. The book is Laurel’s first full-length collection of poems. For more, check out her blog.
