Ann Hood Draws a Crowd

All the seats were filled. Bestselling author Ann Hood began her talk, and then read an excerpt from The Knitting Circle. As Ann read, more and more people filed through the door. By the time Q&A started, more than 2 dozen people filled the room. A fair number of knitters had come, as well as some Ann Hood fans, and those just in the mood for a good read. Everyone listened avidly as Ann shared anecdotes from her life, drawing laughs and empathy from her listeners.

Ann and her friend Tracy came all the way from Providence, RI to join us! A sincere thank you to both ladies for making the trip, as well as to our audience members for being so great.

Children's Celebration

We were very pleased to host five children's authors at the Cove! Helen Lester, Ed Young, Patricia Hubbell, Elizabeth Cody Kimmel, and James Warhola joined us to sign their books.
Each author is very distinguished in their field, and they were all pleased to meet each other and "talk shop." A big thank you to each author for coming!

Sephora Succeeds Scribner's

One of the oldest bookstores in the world, Charles Scribner's Sons, has gone out of business. Established in 1846, Scribner's was a fixture on New York City's upper east side for more than 150 years. In its place now stands a Sephora - which, let's be honest, we adore - but we'll miss Scribner's!
