The Crew

Meet our Staff!

We affectionately refer to each other as "The Covies." Our motto is, First Pawling, then the World!

In all seriousness, The Covies are a close-knit group of co-workers and friends.

From our 19-year-old college student to our glamorous 72-year-old grandmother, we have everybody in between! We all have our special niches and love to read. In the picture above, we are at one of our favorite haunts where we go every time we have a chance to celebrate...well, anything! In this particular case, we are out for a birthday dinner. Each of us will post a brief bio as the blog goes along. We look forward to getting to know you!

The Blog

Hi Everyone! This is Teresa from The Book Cove. We are an indie book store in Pawling New York, and we are celebrating our 35th year in business!

2009 is a big year for us in more ways than one. In addition to a milestone anniversary, we also have launched our first Signing Series! With more than 40 authors scheduled, we hope to see you at one of our exciting events.

From February up until the present, we have hosted more than a dozen writers. NYT-bestseller Frank Delaney, Agatha Award-nominee Rosemary Harris, Oprah Book Club-featured Rachel Cohn, former editor of Time Out New York Daphne Uviller, and Today Show lifestyle expert Elizabeth Mayhew are just some of the amazing people we have met!

I will be posting videos and pictures as we go along. Every speaker we have had here has been amazing, as has all of our audiences!

On Saturday May 2nd we have 2 authors coming that I would like to mention to you. Jo Maeder and Louise Shaffer are joining us for a Mother's Day event. Jo has just published "When I Married My Mother: A Daughter's Search for What Really Matters," which is her moving memoir about leaving a successful deejaying career in New York City to care for her mother. Louise has a new novel out called "Serendipity." Set in NYC, this book is about the relationship between an adult daughter and her mysterious mother.

We have a lot of different ways you can keep up with us. We are brand new to this blog, and we just signed up for Twitter! Our address is http://twitter.com/BookCove
