May News
* Overheard in the Store:
"Dude, my truck was totally covered in cherry blossoms this morning, so I was like Giant Robot Mecha Flower Man driving to work!"
"I'm sorry, my co-worker is sometimes prone to responding in interpretive dance; it can be . . . distracting."
* Borderlands Books mourns the loss of author, editor, and longtime friend Grania Davis. http://www.locusmag.com/News/2017/05/grania-davis-1943-2017/ . You can see a photo of Grania with Jack Vance at Borderlands from 2005 here: http://tachyonpub.tumblr.com/post/147604822108/happy-belated-birthday-to-the-amazing-grania-davis
* Would you like to see our own bookseller Scott in a whole new light? Scott's acting in an uproarious comedy at New Conservatory Theatre, called "Sordid Lives"! We do hope you'll make time to attend the show; it runs from May 12th - June 11th, 2017. Tickets range from $20 - $35, and more details are here: http://www.nctcsf.org/shows/2016-17-Season/Sordid-Lives .
* Has it been nine years since TWILIGHT author Stephanie Meyer wrote her science fiction novel "for people who don’t like sci-fi" THE HOST already? Wow, time flies when you try to deliberately forget something. If we have to remember, so do you. A look back - http://io9.gizmodo.com/remembering-the-host-a-scifi-book-that-barely-wanted-t-1794986069
