Susan Gregg Gilmore and I head out tomorrow morning at 4:30 a.m. on a media and book signing whirlwind. We anticipate getting back home Thursday night/Friday morning at about 1:30 a.m.! Susan will be interviewed on Live At 9! on WREG-TV, the CBS Memphis affiliate, in the morning. Wednesday night she’ll do a reading at Davis-Kidd at 6:00 p.m. Then it’s off to Arkansas and a reading at That Bookstore in Blytheville at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday at 7:00 p.m. Mary Gay Shipley, the owner of the bookstore, told me that her booksellers pull Susan’s book off the shelf and say, “this book is calling me.” We can’t wait to meet everyone in Memphis and Blytheville! 
We asked Patti Vunk, owner of the Dolphin Bookshop in Port Washington, what titles she’s been recommending lately. Here are a few of her favorites:
BOOK: “Looking for Salvation at the Dairy Queen” (Shaye Areheart Books, $23)
AUTHOR: Susan Gregg Gilmore
THE PLOT: A young girl, growing up in small-town Georgia in the 1970s, dreams of escaping to Atlanta.
