The Upper South Carolina Council of the Navy League is pleased to announce that Michael Leinbach and Jonathon Ward, co-authors of the book “Bringing Columbia Home”, will be the guest speakers at its February 20, 2019, dinner program at the Poinsett Club in Greenville, SC. The authors will present the story of the tragic loss and subsequent recovery efforts for the space shuttle Columbia and the inspiring message it ultimately holds.

Ward is an author of space flight histories and a Solar System Ambassador for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
The public is cordially invited to attend this inspiring program. Tickets are $33 per person and include dinner. For details and reservation information, please go to http://bit.ly/NavyLeagueDinnerReservation to print a reservation form or email [email protected]

If you like smart people with strong morals and big hearts, join us for an afternoon In Conversation with Jonathan Walton and Deb Richardson-Moore. Jonathan is an acclaimed author, social ethicist, and religious scholar. He is the Plummer Professor of Christian Morals and the Pusey Minister in the Memorial Church of Harvard University, as well as a member of the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences and Professor of Religion and Society at the Harvard Divinity School. He’s visiting our area to speak at Triune Mercy Center, and Deb is the Pastor/Director at Triune Mercy Center.
Jonathan will discuss his book, A Lens of Love: Reading the Bible in Its World for Our World. Deb has also written several books (The Weight of Mercy, The Cantaloupe Thief, The Cover Story, and Death of a Jester). You’d be hard pressed to find anyone more concerned with the big things on a local scale.
Join us for an engaging conversation on Saturday, February 23 at 3 pm. You’ll be challenged and edified … and grateful you were there.
Join us for an evening In Conversation With Judy Goldman as we discuss her newest book, Together: A Memoir of a Marriage and a Medical Mishap.
Reminiscent of Dani Shapiro’s Hourglass, memoirist Judy Goldman paints a portrait of a relationship tested and lives changed in an instant in Together. Faced with an unknown future when her husband of 40 years becomes paralyzed from the waist down after a botched medical procedure, Judy must take on the role her husband had always occupied – that of the provider – and as she tries to envision her family’s future, she discovers a new, more resilient version of herself.
Judy is the author of two award-winning poetry collections and two novels – this is her second memoir. Her work has appeared in Real Simple, The Washington Post, and many literary journals.
Come join the conversation with Judy on Monday, February 25 at 7 pm.
If you’re a fan of Maria Semple (Where’d You Go, Bernadette? and others) or Rainbow Rowell (Eleanor and Park and others), you won’t want to miss this Lunch & Lit. Join us on Tuesday, March 12 to hear Mary Adkins discuss her book, When You Read This.
Told in a series of e-mails, blog posts, online therapy submissions, text messages, legal correspondence, home-rental bookings, and other snippets of our virtual lives, When You Read Thisis a deft, captivating romantic comedy—funny, tragic, surprising, and bittersweet—that candidly reveals how we find new beginnings after loss.
Mary will be on hand to talk, answer questions, and sign books, and we’ll be dining at the hands of the fabulous Chef Shaun Garcia at Soby’s (which is hardly ever open for lunch).
Tickets are $45 and include a three course lunch and a copy of When You Read This.
We love it when the bookstore becomes a place where different kinds of storytelling get the chance to take the stage. Join us for Songwriter’s Circle, in collaboration with some of the Upstate’s finest singer/songwriters, to hear music and talk inspiration (because storytelling runs through everything we love). This month’s event features Jeff Chandler and Tyler Monroe.
Come join us on Wednesday, March 13 at 7PM. Absolutely free!
Friends, book lovers, countrymen: lend me your ears! The only person who was supposed to beware the Ides of March was Julius Caesar (RIP, King Jules). The rest of us can make of them what we will, and this year we decree that will make of them a Happy Hour, replete with special M.Judson discounts and free samples of Italian wine. Join us to celebrate the Ides of March together in our store on Friday, March 15 (of course!) from 5-7:30 pm. No toga required.
