GOODNIGHT JUNE, Tour Recap Part 1!

I still have stops in Chicago and New York City ahead (check the events page here for details), but I have had the loveliest time connecting with readers from Houston, Portland, and Seattle in the past weeks. What a joy my job is—signing books, talking to readers, and sharing a little about my life and writing process with them. Here are some highlights from my recent travels:

When I arrived in Portland, at the lovely, historic Heathman Hotel, this letter from the hotel’s librarian requesting a signature for the hotel collection of books was waiting. I was so honored!

Before my reading at Powell’s, I stopped at The Nines for a glass of wine on the rooftop deck. What a gorgeous night, and I felt so glamorous!

In Houston, I had the privilage of reading at Murder By the Book, a lovely old independent bookstore, where I’ve become good friends with bookseller extraordinaire, John. Here we are before my reading (John wore a Goodnight Moon shirt for the event—how fun is that?!).

That night in Houston, a bottle of lovely champagne arrived in my hotel room from someone very special, and it made me smile….

Before taking off for my travels, I signed a ton of books at Third Place Books in Seattle (my hand actually got a cramp from all the signing—a good thing!).

And then my Seattle signing at the Pacific Place Barnes & Noble in Seattle—what fun!

I loved meeting and chatting with Seattle readers (several who drove 100+ miles to buy their copies of GOODNIGHT JUNE and have them signed—I was so honored!).

 

Of course, I used my pink Sharpie…

And I loved this review of GOODNIGHT JUNE in First for Women—right beside my friend Jonathan Tropper’s book!

And then returning home to these three guys—the best.
