One of my favorite summer things to do, and I’m sure it is for many, is read a good book outside. That’s why we have summer reads and beach reads, right?
Over the years, we have written a list of must-reads and great local bookstores! However, meeting and listening to the authors is another element to add to the summer reading experience.
I’ve rounded up a list of author visits coming to Fairfield County (and a bit beyond) this summer.
Barrett Bookstore – Darien
Tuesday, June 25 -Beatriz Williams, Kristan Higgins, & Annabel Monaghan
Friday, June 28 – Liv Constantine – The Next Mrs. Parish
Elm Street Books – New Canaan
Sunday, June 23 – Claire Lombardo – Same As It Ever Was
Ferguson Library – Stamford
Thursday, June 27 – Jenny Jackson – Pineapple Street
Just beyond Fairfield County in Madison, CT, RJ Julia has many author visits lined up for the summer. Take a look here.
These events are always fun; you get to ask the authors questions and get some insight into their books. The events are usually free, and you can purchase a book if you like, or if there is a charge, you typically get a copy of the author’s new book. Also, follow these bookstores and your local libraries, as other events may come up throughout the summer.
Sorry for your loss. In 1969, my daughter was born with heart disease and survived for 8 months. Losing a child is not usually talked about. I’m grateful you put it out there because grieving parents need to know they are not alone.
Hi Gail,
Thank you and thank you for sharing! It really isn’t, but I try to be as open about it as I can, it’s not easy!
Take Care,
Caroline
