How to be thrilled
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
It’s time for the first (and soon to be annual) Atlanta Thriller Bookfest, which runs tonight and Saturday. The folks at Eagle Eye Book Shop in Decatur deserve major props for pulling this thing together, particularly considering they’re doing it at what seems like a bunch of locations.
Think of this more as a schedule of great stuff to pick and choose from, rather than a single event where you show up and just cruise around, like the Decatur Book Festival.
Here are some basics, but I strongly recommend you get your information direct from the Eagle Eye website.
Tonight at 6, Jeff Long, author of “Deeper” and “The Descent,” gives the keynote address at Georgia Perimeter College-Dunwoody Campus, 2101 Womack Rd., Dunwoody, in the C-1100 auditorium.
Saturday there will be massive talks and signings by authors. Jeff Long, Sallie Bissell, Jaclyn Wheldon White, David Fulmer, Mitchell Graham, Philip Nutman, Ridley Pearson and others. The venues are the Gwinnett County Public Library, 455 Camp Perrin Road, Lawrenceville, from 12 noon-5:30 p.m. and Eagle Eye Book Shop, 2076 N. Decatur Road, Decatur, from 11:30 a.m.-7 p.m. Again, consult Eagle Eye’s website.
And we’ll mention again, proceeds from the fest are going to fun libraries and schools in Tibet.
