Wendy
Wendy is the Events Manager for the store. When she's not pursuing authors to fill our busy schedule, she is listening to Pema Chodron during her commute to work and collecting miniature deer. If you are interested in weight lifting (she is a beginner deadlifter - if you want to flatter her, ask her about her max lift!). She reads historical fiction (with a focus on royalty), Cultural Revolution memoirs, Daniil Kharms, and dystopian fiction. She was briefly obsessed with religious polygamy, and can recommend many memoirs and talk about it for hours.

(Paperback)$14.95 ISBN-13: 9781582344157Availability: On Our Shelves Now Published: Bloomsbury USA, 07/01/2004 Having not read any Douglas Coupland prior and to be perfectly honest starting this with preconceived notions of what to expect, I was pleasantly surprised to find myself incredibly moved by this novel. The last few pages express loss and regret in a way that stunned me. I can pick up this novel at any time, read the last 4 pages and immediately start crying.

Wonder When You'll Miss Me (Paperback)$12.99 ISBN-13: 9780060534264Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days Published: Harper Perennial, 03/01/2004 I'm glad that I didn't read this when I was 16, I would most certainly have tried to run away and join the circus. Amanda Davis has created rich characters, real and imagined, that stay with you. ---Wendy Red Azalea (Paperback)$14.00 ISBN-13: 9780425166871Availability: Special Order - Subject to Availability Published: Berkley Trade, 03/01/1999 Anchee Min's memoir is one of my top recommended books and inspired me to take a year of Mandarin. A career high, was recently welcoming Anchee Min to our store and being given te opportunity to introduce her.
The Locklear Letters (Paperback)$13.00 ISBN-13: 9781596921207Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days Published: MacAdam/Cage, 06/01/2005 Brilliant. Adrian Mole and Ignatius Riley rolled into one.
The Anomalies (Paperback)$12.00 ISBN-13: 9781931561846Availability: Special Order - Subject to Availability Published: MacAdam/Cage Publishing, 10/01/2004 Joey Goebel brings you an interesting group of characters. From a near psychotic 8-yr old to an ex-Iraqi soldier searching for redemption from the soldier he shot in the first Gulf War - with a sexy grandma and a disabled stripper in the middle. They form a band and rock it like Chuck Norris on the tilt-a-whirl.
The Cute Book (Hardcover)$12.95 ISBN-13: 9781932234688Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days Published: Vertical, 02/01/2007 This book make me want to explode. The projects are too cute, my words couldn't do them justice. I often find myself flipping through the pages, freaking out.
$15.95 ISBN-13: 9781590200421Availability: On Our Shelves Now Published: Overlook Press, 07/01/2009 The Life of Elizabeth I (Paperback)$17.00 ISBN-13: 9780345425508Availability: On Our Shelves Now Published: Ballantine Books, 10/01/1999 There are many, many, many books written about Elizabeth I, and Alison Weir's is the best. She brings her sharp skills and perspective to the amazing story of a "bastard" child born to a soon-to-be beheaded queen that survives against all odds and becomes one of the most powerful rulers in all Europe. It's ironic that as Henry VIII disposed of wives left & right in his pursuit for a male heir, Elizabeth was there all along. I like to think of it as Anne Bolyen's revenge.

The suspense & intrigue had me gripping my steering wheel all the way to work. It was so good, that I ended up bouncing back & forth between the actual book & audio version, because I couldn't wait.
$14.95 ISBN-13: 9781582343761Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days Published: Bloomsbury USA, 11/01/2003 I LOVE everything miniature. I have an actual physical reaction that causes me to break out in a goofy smile, or worse - giggles. This is just the book to bring that out in me. I could look at it for hours - and I have. It's so clever and adorable that you can give this to almost anyone for almost any occasion. Shades of Grey (Hardcover)$25.95 ISBN-13: 9780670019632Availability: On Our Shelves Now Published: Viking Adult, 01/01/2010 Shades of Grey is fantastic!

This is out in January, mark your calendars and come see him when he reads in February on the Third Place Stage!! Cruddy: An Illustrated Novel (Paperback)$15.00 ISBN-13: 9780684838465Availability: On Our Shelves Now Published: Simon & Schuster, 10/01/2000 One of my all time favorite books.
