Event Recap: Prattville Silent Book Club

Once again, sorry this took so long to come out. Two events in a row with over a week before the recap came out...I don't like this trend. Let's hope it was a fluke. I mean, I have been really busy, but still.

Anywho, this was a small book club event that I was invited to come speak at (and sell books). I had actually been telling the LadyWife that we should go check this one out (it's just a town away), but hadn't found time to go there yet. It's a silent book club, which means each person brings their own book to read, and after a bit of conversation about what everyone's been reading, folks just sit around an enjoy communally reading in silence, while sipping tasty beverages. 

This one was held at a local coffee shop and ice creamery, West Main Coffeehouse in downtown Prattville from 6-8pm on a Friday. So we loaded up the kiddo, and the three of us joined in the festivities: reading, ice cream, and then basking in my self-deprecating humor. 

It was a great crowd, with some awesome questions. They were kind enough to treat me like I deserved to be there, and even bought a few books. All in all, it was a great time, one that I will happily do again in the future hopefully!

I have a few small thoughts.

• I ran into the guy who used to be my manager at Dominos, back when we were all getting our undergrads. It was great running into him. Small world! 

• There was someone there from my home county, not far up the road from where I grew up actually. Small world!

It ain't none.

I took my entire inventory with me pretty much to this event.

All ten books lol.

Yeah, Amazon hadn't gotten me my order in yet, so I brought all the copies of book one I had left, and a matching number of Southern Saudade. And for the first event ever, Southern Saudade dramatically outsold Bringing Home the Rain. Granted, that was four books to one, but still!
