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 book stores! 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 the Fairfield County area (and a bit beyond) this summer.
Byrd’s Books – Bethel
Saturday, July 23 – Liv Constantine, in Conversation with Wendy Walker
Elm Street Books – New Canaan
Thursday, July 20 – Kristan Higgins and Jamie Beck
Ferguson Library – Stamford
Thursday, July 13 – Ann Napolitano
Wednesday, July 19 – Daniel Silva
Kerri Rosenthal – Westport
Wednesday, July 12 – Annabel Monaghan
Just beyond Fairfield County in Kent, CT, House of Books has many author visits lined up for the summer. Take a look here.
These events are always fun, and you get to ask questions to the authors 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.
