So of course, I said yes because I dearly love to work with companies I’ve faithfully patronized. □ )Īnyway, I’ve shared about my photo books several times before, and recently, MyPublisher contacted me to see if I’d be interested in working with them and also giving away some photo books to you guys. I’m thinkin’ there might be a bit more than a correlation between the two. (I used to be a faithful scrapbooker, but somewhere around the time I started blogging, scrapbooking began to take a back seat. I’ve been staying caught up on recent photos and also working backwards to get caught up. So if you live in any of those cities, get yourself to those great gardens today, hunt around in the botanical beauty for copies of my book, and let me know if you find one! (You'll know you're in the right place when you see posters hanging about the gardens like the one I've shown here below.As you all already know, for the last two years, I’ve been busily churning out MyPublisher photo books. Since my novel is all about botanical exploration, this just seemed like a wonderful idea to me…and super fun. The participating gardens will be: New Jersey Skylands, Fort Worth Botanical Gardens, Coral Gables Botanical Gardens, New York Botanical Gardens and the San Francisco Botanical Gardens. If you find one, you are free to take it home…it's yours to keep! Just a reminder that TODAY (Friday, September 6) five great American botanical gardens will be hiding early copies of "The Signature of All Things" all across their grounds. Via Elizabeth Gilbert’s Facebook Wall ACTIVITY OF THE DAY: HIDDEN BOOKS IN BEAUTIFUL GARDENS! Hello my pretties!…ĪCTIVITY OF THE DAY: HIDDEN BOOKS IN BEAUTIFUL GARDENS! Hope you can come drop by and join us for a sweet afternoon of books and fellowship and small town charm! Here's an article explaining the whole deal: 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. 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 ( 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. 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!) 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. (Here's a photo of me taken this spring, in front of the very truck in question.) Tomorrow, (Saturday Sept 7), the wonderful big orange Penguin Book Truck will be rolling into my hometown of Frenchtown, NJ for the afternoon. I just wanted to remind you all of this sweet event. Another fun event…COME SEE ME IN FRENCHTOWN THIS SATURDAY!
