BIG congratulations are in order for author/bookseller Elizabeth Bluemle and her partner Josie Leavitt this week. The Flying Pig Bookstore has won the Lucille Micheels Pannell Award, honoring bookstores “that excel in inspiring the interest of young people in books and reading.” If you’ve ever set foot in Flying Pig, you know that describes Josie & Elizabeth’s store perfectly. Yay!!!
And…if you’re still looking for another reason to visit, you should know that Flying Pig is hosting Tanya Lee Stone’s launch for Elizabeth Leads the Way this Saturday. Here’s the official Flying Pig blurb…

My daughter and I are really looking forward to this one!
The Flying Pig is one of my favorite stores . . . I just wish they could pick it up and move it a little closer to me!
Enjoy! It will be great fun, I know.
I won’t be there, because we’re away on vacation.

Yeah, but then it would be farther from us…. ;}
further from us . . .

I wouldn’t give it up either, if I were you!
Re: further from us . . .
No, we’re keeping it where it is. :^)
I’ll share some pictures next week. Have a great vacation!
