‘Yea, Sewanee Reads’ Event, Nov. 4
“Yea, Sewanee Reads!” launches from 5 to 7 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 4, at The University Booksore.
Everyone is invited to the launch of a new literary experience soon to be featured at the University Bookstore in downtown Sewanee. “Yea, Sewanee Reads!” will promote the community of readers by showcasing books recommended by students in the English Department and interns at The Sewanee Review, The Sewanee Young Writers’ Conference, The Sewanee Writers’ Conference and The Sewanee School of Letters. “This event reminds us how a good local bookstore can be a gathering place for students and community members and a home for small book clubs to meet throughout the year,” said Professor Elizabeth Grammer of the English Department.
The reviewers will be on hand the evening of the launch event and their favorite books—about 25 titles ranging from classic novels to nonfiction to poetry and Young Adult fiction—will be offered at a 10 percent discount. Come meet the reviewers, read their reviews and pick out your next favorite book or the perfect holiday gift for a loved one. Festivities will include coffee and refreshments, discount coupons from The Blue Chair for dinner after the event and special guest shop dogs from the Macfie and Grammer families. Come enjoy the new bookstore, where town and gown can meet over a cup of coffee, a cute dog and a good book.
