Melinda Long

Melinda Long signs The Twelve Days of Christmas in South Carolina (Twelve Days of Christmas, State By State).

If your kids (or the kid in you) can't wait another five months for Christmas, come celebrate Christmas in July at Fiction Addiction's new location (1175 Woods Crossing Rd.) on Saturday, July 28th, from 11:00am - 1:00pm. Greenville's own Melinda Long will be at the store signing copies of her picture book The Twelve Days of Christmas in South Carolina (Sterling, hardcover, $12.95). There will also be cold apple cider and Christmas goodies! Rainbow-painted houses, yummy shrimp stew, war heroes, prowling pirates, kudzu monsters, leaping dolphins . . . and a wren in a palmetto tree: that's a South Carolina Christmas, and Laura is experiencing it all for the first time! Kids will love exploring this magical southern state with her. (fictionaddiction-sc)… (more)

Join us for a fun hour of book discussion, crafting, and games! In conjunction with Main Street Theater’s Theater for Youth, Blue Willow Bookshop has created a great way to enhance and enjoy the theater going experience this season. For each play, we will host a book club style discussion of the author's works. You and your children will understand the book and enjoy the adaptation when you attend the play.

This month’s play will be How I Became a Pirate. For more information about the Theater For Youth season in 2011-2012, click here.

This is open to the public and is one hour in length.
