It's Monday. Time to Plan My Escapes from Reality: April 7 -- April 13

Susannah Cahalan will be visiting two independent bookstores this Sunday. I'm looking forward to meeting her at Main Point Books where her book is of especial interest as Emily Gavigan, who was diagnosed and treated as a result of Susannah's experience is on staff. Oops I got the time wrong for when she will be at Main Point Books. Susannah will be reading and signing starting at 3:00 pm!

Poetry and more poetry in celebration of National Poetry month. Things really pick up next week around the region with a lot of activities scheduled for Monday. To make sure anyone who is interested has time to plan more effectively, I plan on putting out the listings on Saturday.
