This week we'll be interviewing a new bookseller at DDG, Amy Graham. Apart from bookselling Amy is the author of many educational non-fiction titles. Her books include The Seven Wonders of the Natural World and Calvin Coolidge: America's Hottest President. Okay that isn't really the subtitle but you get the idea.KB: If the Empire State Building were being built out of all the books you've ever read how many stories would it be? Amy: I do read a lot, probably 3 books a week. I prefer thick books so that would add some height. How well built is it? KB: Flimsy Amy: Could this be a model? KB: Sure. Amy: Okay then I'd say that it's at least 29 stories. KB:I knew it. Now which book have you reread the most times? Amy: The book I'ver read the most times probably isn't my favorite book. Tale of Two Cities is a book I've picked up alot. When it gets to be November I always feel like reading Tale of Two Cities. KB: What book, if you discovered that someone didn't like it, would make you consider them a heartless fiend? Amy: The Penderwick books. How could you not like those, they're really sweet. Also The Count of Monte Cristo. It would show a real lack of imagination not to appreciate that. KB: I'm with you there! Thanks! Here they are! Our weekly picks for the two best: two hardcover, two paperback, and two children's books. The very best new arrivals to leap out of the box and onto our shelves this week. Call or email us if you want more information on any of these titles, or to have us hold you a copy. Or stop in and check them out in person. We'd love to see you. Thanks as always for sharing your reading with us!
