Authors have a bird theme this week at Third Place Books
Sunday, April 9, 2017
James H. Osborne will discuss his book about overcoming terrible, personal adversity but the other authors are all about birds. Mozart and starlings. Bird intelligence. And stretching it a bit, the last book is set on Hummingbird Lane.
Hear the authors in person; have your book autographed; meet people you'll be reading about someday. Third Place Books, upper level Town Center, intersection of Bothell and Ballinger Way, Lake Forest Park.
