Our launch of Booktalk Nation, a service that organizes nationwide phone-in author talks hosted by independent bookstores, continues this week with a full slate of events.

Help spread the word: forward this message on to let friends know that they can dial in Thursday evening to participate in Roy Blount’s interview of Ian Frazier and order The Cursing Mommy’s Book of Days. Mr. Frazier will cheerfully inscribe books for the cursing mommies and daddies on their gift lists. Roy Blount will inscribe Alphabetter Juice for readers who purchase the book through Booktalk Nation this week.
