Martha Cooley reading!!!

OK. So, I have to say that I am incredibly, incredibly pumped about this. Martha Cooley is reading at Books, Etc. in Falmouth on Saturday, March 17 at 3:00 p.m. Her first novel, The Archivist is truly spectacular. It has gorgeous writing, fascinating characters, a compelling storyline, and interesting changes in perspective. I have not yet read her latest novel, Thirty-Three Swoons, but it's on my list o' books to read. If you like books, you should go. If you think you might ever want to write anything, you should go. If you're hoping for a memorable St. Patrick's Day, you should go. Here is the Books, Etc. website for directions and information: www.mainebooksetc.com. SEE YOU THERE!
