McLean and Eakin Booksellers

This must certainly be a landmark event, as Ann Patchett was McLean & Eakin's very first Booked for Lunch author. Then, she spoke about Bel Canto (the book that remains many of her Northern Michigan fans' favorite to this day). This time around, however, she'll be sharing with us her latest novel, ... (lisää)Run. We're delighted to welcome Ann back to Petoskey, for she is a charming person, an eloquent speaker, and one of the most gifted writers of her time.

1:00 PM to 3:00 PM The staff at McLean & Eakin is always stunned when we discover a reader who has not yet had the pleasure of meeting Joey Margolis, for he is our most beloved baseball-loving-Hitler-fearing-White-House-corresponding-Hebrew-talking youngster of all time! It is simply shocking to ... (lisää)know that there are customers out there who've not yet had a copy of Last Days of Summer placed in their hands. It is equally exciting, however, for us to know that we can then introduce someone new to this story of Joey and his unlikely friendship with his baseball hero. In short, we love this book, and have for the entire decade of its life on earth. How then could we not be utterly thrilled to host Steve Kluger in the store this summer? (Especially when his newly released young adult novel, My Most Excellent Year, is about baseball and is oh-so-funny too...) Be sure to mark your calendar right now, for you won't want to miss this event!
