The Smart Chicks Tour is coming to Lansing, Michigan and Schuler Books & Music is selling tickets for the event. Basically, instead of having people preorder books, they are charging everyone $5 and then you’ll get it back as a gift card the day of the event. It’s simply to get a ticket for the line and only the first 100 tickets sold are guaranteed seats. If you’re going (and I’m expecting all of my SE MI peeps to be there), I would get your tickets soon.
Would you like a signed personalized copy of Leanna Renee Heiber’s new upcoming young adult novel, Darker Still? Guess what, you can not only get one, but also support an independent bookstore at the same time. Leanna has all the details here, but if you want the quick version, contact WORD Bookstore in Brooklyn, New York City.
