Oh, springtime! Join us in the wearing of the green on the eve of St. Patty's Day at A Novel Experience!


We are looking forward to embracing the warmer days of March and celebrating the return of more daylight! And, we're gathering up all the Irish good luck we can find! Check out our collection of great Irish titles as well as books to help you "green up" your awakening gardens (although the emerging weeds get the early bird award...).



Join us this month for some great reading, book club discussions, and sharing "I've just read this incredible book" suggestions. Our annual Dog and Pony Show will hang all month--the photographs featuring the wonderful gazes of sweet dogs and equines is one of our favorite shows--come see Juror Ray Sullivan's awards and vote for your favorite for our People's Choice prize!



Stop by, join one of our book groups, share your thoughts about contemporary topics at Living Room Conversations...and, visit with us on March 17th--we'll celebrate St Patrick's Day from 5-7 with libations and snacks for those wearin' the green!

SUNDAY, March 9th: LIVING ROOM CONVERSATIONS will explore "What are American Values?" at 3:00. Here's a shortie from the great LRC website:


If you were describing American values to someone, what would you say?


The current polarized climate might suggest we have deep disagreements about American values/ideals, and live out of conflicting understandings. But what exactly are American values/ideals? What do you most value about the United States? Do they derive from our founding documents, so you look to “the inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”? Or the Constitution and Bill of Rights -- protecting the rights of individuals from government overreach, foreign threats and the passions of the people. Or do they derive from something else entirely? Let’s rediscover our shared American values/ideals.



SATURDAY, March 15th, 5-7 pm: THE SELF-PUBLISHED AUTHORS SHOWCASE! Have a book you've written? Set up a table at the store and share the experience with other authors! Please RSVP for space availability.



SUNDAY, March 30th: THE CLASSICS GROUP meets at 3:00 pm to discuss Black Boy by Richard Wright.

Sincerely,

All of us at A Novel Experience
