There's a nip in the air, and that means it's the perfect time to curl up with a good book. Of course, in my mind, anytime is the perfect time for a book!

Author Visit:
J. F. Riordan
Thursday, Oct. 17, 6:30pm
"Reflections on a Life in Exile" is Ms. Riordan's first book of personal essays. By turns deeply spiritual and gently comic, these brief meditations range from the inconveniences of modern life to the shifting nature of grief. The author captures the passing beauty of the ordinary and extraordinary that lingers near the surface of daily life.
This event co-sponsored by Boswell Book Company, Milwaukee.
