Monday midday links: Author’s NYT review; plum-picking on TV

“CROW PLANET” REVIEWED BY NEW YORK TIMES: The NYT Sunday book reviews comprise arguably the most prestigious showcase in America for an author – and Gatewood author Lyanda Lynn Haupt‘s new book “Crow Planet” has just made it there. Here’s the link to this past weekend’s review. We wrote about Haupt and her book just last month – here’s our story; you can also follow her more-frequent writings at her site The Tangled Nest.

COMMUNITY HARVEST PLUM-PICKING STORY ON TV: We’ve also featured Community Harvest of Southwest Seattle and its “donate your tree” volunteer fruit harvests, and now they’ve made it onto TV too – the story resulting from the KING5 visit to Margaret‘s house last Monday finally aired Friday – here’s the link (video). CHoSS is still seeking volunteers, so they can pick even more of the fruit-laden trees that have been “donated” (the fruit goes to local food banks) – here’s how to sign up!

    Tracey – thanks for mentioning Lyanda’s review. Lyanda has two Seattle readings coming up – on 9/8 at REI downtown (at 7), and then on 9/24 (at 6:30) at High Point library in partnership with (WSB sponsor) Square One Books.

    Seattle Audubon Society will be hosting another presentation and book signing for Lyanda Haupt at REI on September 8, 6:30. It is open to the public.

    The Seattle Audubon Society home page says 7 PM and the SAS page for the event itself says 6:30 but I promise you the event actually starts at 7. I’ll write to SAS now about fixing their page.

    Nice review. In the NYT no less!

    Cathy it turns out we’re both right – for the Seattle Audubon reading upstairs at REI on Tuesday, doors open at 6:30 with refreshments, and Lyanda speaking/reading at 7.

Sorry, comment time is over.
