Celebrating National Book Month

October is National Book Month. Another great reason to enjoy the fall weather, National Squirrel Awareness Month, and the written word. And if you are a writer, to celebrate the books written and those words yet to be penned.

National Book Month celebrations may include going to a library. Some of my favorites include the Tulsa County Library. The endless collection of books are housed on two huge floors in a quiet, yet beautiful building. And the Pryor Public Library displays several works of art in a museum room. Both buildings are always inviting for the book lover searching for that just the right book to fulfill the current need to read.

Add to that the local book store. I’m always grateful for the individuals who own these quaint establishments. They brave the business world and step into their dream of sharing their love of books with those who love shopping for them.

Some of my favorites include The Same Page in Claremore, Oklahoma. The atmosphere is hushed and the shelves beckon shoppers as they step in to search for another book. Hedgehog Ink in Fort Scott, Kansas. The store is nestled in the old downtown, and well worth the drive. (Depending on your location).

My own plan to celebrate this month is to read a fun book instead of nonfiction writing craft books. Then on this Saturday, October 26 I will celebrate through a booksigning at The Same Page. I hope you come and celebrate with me from 12:00-3:00 pm. I will have some sweet pumpkin treats to share and a few small crafts. Janice Buswell is joining me.

If you have not yet seen the Same Page Bookstore you are in for a treat. Join us for some early Christmas shopping.
