Recently I traveled up just north of Seattle to visit Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park for a book signing. The moment I walked in I knew I was in a great bookstore (and it had nothing to do with the huge display of my books that greeted me near the entrance). Before my talk was scheduled to begin I had time to wander the aisles. I especially liked the store’s displays of all the current choices of the many book clubs registered there. I had to restrain myself from walking out with an armload of books. I was able to restrict myself to a few choices to take home.
After the book signing my mom and I had dinner just outside the stacks, next to a group of guys who were playing chess. The bookstore space incorporates food kiosks as well, so once you’ve sated yourself on books you can meander next door and grab a bite. And I can’t say enough about how welcoming Cheryl and Sarah made me feel while I was there. Thanks again to Third Place Books; next time I’m in the Seattle area I’ll be sure to stop by. Here are a few photos from the event:
Isn’t this a great display?

I love that store! It’s about an hour and a half south of me. Good thing, too, because I’d be there ALL THE TIME.
Congratulations on your successes!
