Antigone Books:
This is
a great looking bookstore that’s owned by 3 generations—and it’s renewable—energy
wise—and has some great links to local and renewable sources at the bottom of
the homepage. From the look of the
store, its someplace I want to visit when I go to Arizona next time.
One thing—I
had to Google the full address. As an out of town person just looking at the
website, I had no idea that it was in Tuscon until I investigated. Note to owners-put the city on the website
with the address so my geographically challenged mind knows where to go!
Once in
the website, there’s links to all kinds of genres and this one https://www.antigonebooks.com/local-authors
goes right to a long list of local Arizona talent.
On February
15, if you click on the events tab, you’ll see they’re having an event that I
feel is really current right now in our political climate. The Author is Leva Jusionyte and if you’re
in the area, it might be interesting to attend. Tyler (or whoever else has time to attend)—if you’re reading this
and have time, you should go and send me a report. I would definitely attend if I was in the area.
I know Arizona has lots of writing
talent, and great weather and golfing—even though I’m a poor golfer I have done
it a couple times. So glad I found this store to highlight out of all the information about Arizona writing.
This week, click on over to
Anigone Books in Tuscon and name drop one author or event from that sight here
as a comment to be entered in for the end of the month grand prize. I’ll need a form of contact in case you
win.
Big thanks to Anigone Books for
letting me browse your virtual shelves and write this article.

I am pleased to hear of yet another brick and mortar book store. They are experiencing a comeback since all the chains have closed or are closing. Unfortunately for me, I live in Scottsdale, AZ, east of Phoenix. Tucson would be a two-hour drive. I wish to find a store close by. Boy, do I!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you know about the Poison Pen bookstore in Scottsdale, Mary. They sponsor visits from famous authors every month. I heard Sue Grafton there before she wrote her final book.
