Stranger Fillings: A Parody Cookbook | The Muffin Brothers

Went to my favorite local #indiebookstore today, #QuailRidgeBooks, just to meet the Grinch. I brought the kids along too, but truth be told, I was the most excited! Also, it turned out to be parody cookbook day. Who knew?

Louise He looks like a very happy Grinch! ❤️ 7y

OriginalCyn620 @Louise Indeed! His heart had grown 3 sizes by the time he made it to the bookstore! 7y

We Were Liars | E. Lockhart

"I got the idea to write a book about real estate. And turns out teenagers aren't that interested in real estate." -E. Lockhart talking about getting the idea for We Were Liars and how it evolved from there. This is a picture of her signing outside when a fire alarm went off in the store. #QuailRidgeBooks

Lindy I can think of one teenage literary character who is considered very odd by everyone around him for his interest in real estate. It's a wonderful book:

Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You: A Novel

Genuine Fraud | E. Lockhart

E. Lockhart event at Quail Ridge Books tonight! Right now she's talking about her love/hate relationship with the privileged life she grew up in. This woman can actually write boarding school kids in a way that makes me care about them. #QuailRidgeBooks

PacingTheCage @Jess7 Yep, definitely buy more Kindle books 7y

Iceangel9 I try to frequent indie bookstores, but I do buy from amazon. #bookishquestionoftheweek (edited) 7y

sdrosereads Amazon because we have no bookstores. Also Book Outlet, Books a million and sometimes I'll order signed copies from independent bookstores across the country when there are author signing events. 7y

Tower of Dawn | Sarah J Maas

Preordered 2 books so I could get 2 tickets! This event is on my birthday and this is how I'm spending it with my husband. He's never read any Maas books and 99% sure he never will, but hes been a trooper and joining in on the fun for me!
I. Can't. Wait.

Any #littens in the triangle area going?
