Things couldn't have begun better for the first visit of Bestselling author K. Elliott to Mississippi.
We began the day with a meeting at Peeples Middle School. Thanks to Ms. Walker and the other teachers who assisted with the visit, along with the students.
After we left the school it was off to Waldenbooks in the Metrocenter--- and we couldn't have had a better time! Many books were told, lots of hands were shook and we got a chance to show K. Elliott how we support our authors here.
Finally, we ended the day with our traditional book club discussion--- and it was good to have K.Elliott discuss the motivation behind his books as well as how he feels about the publishing business as a hold.
With day one behind us, we know that the weekend can only get better.
Tomorrow it all begins with breakfast at Medgar Evers Library, then on to Cici's Pizza in Brandon before we conclude with a meet and greet at Richard Wright Library. You can see the entire schedule below.
