ANOTHER FOUND BOOK…This one at the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens!
I love that you guys are going out there and hunting for them…this makes me so happy. (Though it is scarcely a hardship to hang out at a great botanical garden for the day!)
Thank you for sharing this Jeni…
(And those of you who don't know what this is about, scroll down to my earlier post from today about the books we have hidden in five wonderful American botanical gardens today!)
HAPPY READING,

Hey pals —
The Wall Street Journal just ran this quite lovely story about my new book "The Signature of All Things" — which they very nicely call: "The most ambitious and purely imaginative work in her 20-year career". (The "her" in this case being "me". The 20 years, in this case, being something I do not care to consider — has it really been that long????)
Thought you might enjoy it, anyhow, plus a video, as well:

(I like it when the dude in the video is like, "Moss, huh…?" That's right, dude: MOSS!)
And if you want to pre-order this ambitious and purely imaginative book written by a grizzled writerly veteran, you may do so right here:

Another fun event…COME SEE ME IN FRENCHTOWN THIS SATURDAY!
Hi all!
I just wanted to remind you all of this sweet event. Tomorrow, (Saturday Sept 7), the wonderful big orange Penguin Book Truck will be rolling into my hometown of Frenchtown, NJ for the afternoon. (Here's a photo of me taken this spring, in front of the very truck in question.)
Viking-Penguin is my publisher, and I love the way they've retrofitted this food truck to make it into a cheerful book paradise on wheels — reminds of when the bookmobile used to roll through town when I was a kid. The truck is taking a tour across the USA, and Penguin asked if I wanted them to stop in Frenchtown…HELL YES! (I even got to pick the titles they will be selling that day — all my favorite classics!)
So we've made a celebratory day of it, in conjunction with my wonderful local bookstore (The Book Garden, on Bridge St.) Penguin will also be bringing along their sweet little pushcart (looks like a hot dog stand) which will be parked in front of the bookstore, while the big truck is parked at my store, Two Buttons (www.twobuttons.com)
To celebrate just SOME of the local talent in my town, I've invited my neighbors Rayya Elias (author of "Harley Loco") and John Smith (poet; author of "Even That Indigo") to hang out with me for the afternoon at both Two Buttons and The Book Garden.
It's all SUPER casual, but the general plan is that I'll be at the book truck, at Two Buttons, from 2 – 3 pm, and at the pushcart, at The Book Garden, from 3 – 4.
Here's an article explaining the whole deal:

Hope you can come drop by and join us for a sweet afternoon of books and fellowship and small town charm!
🙂
