So.
When my book first came out, I created a blog Facebook page where I could share info about book signings and whatnot. But then several people said (in the sweetest way) that they didn’t really check Facebook, so I decided that it might be better to put the book signing stuff here on the blog.
And I did just that. On a separate page. A page that I haven’t updated since sometime in, oh, late May.
Which leads me to think that the whole “separate page” tactic hasn’t been terribly successful on my end of things.
That is why I’m about to put some book signing news right here on the front page of the blog, and I’m gonna leave said news at the top of the page over the weekend, and hopefully this method will be helpful for those of you who like to know dates and times and details and whatnot.
All righty.
I have three book signings in the next month or so. Here are All The Facts.
Saturday, October 19th – Time TBA
Social: a shop for gracious living
660 S. Perkins Rd.
Memphis, Tennessee 38117
I can’t wait for this one. It took a sweet forever for us to find a date that worked, but yay, October 19th!
Saturday, October 26th – Time TBA
Lambert’s Bibles & Gifts
10460 HWY 168, Suite 3
Boaz, Alabama 35957
I have never been to Boaz. But I know that Boaz High School’s mascot is the panther. Why do I know this, you wonder? Because when I was in high school and college, the Boaz cheerleaders were always on the ESPN National Cheerleading Championships, and they had a cheer where they yelled, “BOAZ! PANTHERS! ARE REALLY! TOUGH!”
And I watched their routines approximately 392 times.
You’re welcome.
Thursday, November 7th and Friday, November 8th – 11AM – 9PM (I won’t be there until about 1 on Thursday)
Mistletoe Marketplace, Booth #608 (with SoDelta Candle Company)
Mississippi Trade Mart
I-55 and High Street
Jackson, Mississippi 39202
It was back in the spring, I think, when my friend Lea Margaret first asked if I’d like to sell and sign books at her company’s Mistletoe booth. Once I figured out that it would be a possibility for me schedule-wise, she said, “That is great! But just keep in mind that it won’t be official until I get approval from the Junior League to add you to my booth.”
About a month later she emailed me and said, “Sophie, I just wanted to let you know that you have been approved by the Junior League.”
And suddenly I felt a very strong urge to attend a debutante ball.
Anyway, I’m so excited about being in my home state for a few days and getting to participate in Mistletoe, which is the stuff of Christmas market legends in Mississippi. I hope to see some of y’all in Jackson (and in Boaz) (and in Memphis, too).
Have a great weekend, everybody!
Yessss!!! I’m so excited you’re coming to both Memphis and Jackson, and if I ever got a letter stating I’d been approved by the Junior League of Jackson, I’m pretty sure that would have to go in my scrapbook. You know, if I had a scrapbook.
I hope to see you at Mistletoe!
SO EXCITED you’re coming to Boaz! I’m so there. But, some unfortunate news– Boaz’s mascot is the Pirates. But, I know how easily one could be confused, because Boaz cheerleaders have a tendency to say “Puuuuhrates” instead of “Pirates” when they cheer. My husband is a Boaz grad, and those cheers and their “Puuuuuuhrates”-ness are some of his fondest BHS memories. See you on the 26th! Can’t wait to meet you!
Have you been to Nashville? Did I miss you? I hope not. Please post if you do come here.
Yes, PLEASE come to Nashville!!!
If I worked on a store for you to visit, would you come to Nashville? Franklin really, but close.
I am really bummed out because I live in DC and I want to come to all of these REALLY badly but I just can’t. I especially like the sound of the Mistletoe one!
I’ve been slowly listening to every single podcast ever, and recently listened to the 2008 Christmas podcast. It was really exciting to me because before I listened to it I was shopping at Starbucks and thinking to myself about how I’d never yet heard you and Big Mama talk about Starbucks, and how I’d really love to hear your thoughts on it sometime (I worked at Starbucks for 5 years), and the next thing I did was get in my car and start listening to the Christmas 2008 podcast when you both discussed your Starbucks preferences extensively!! I felt so connected. And I was delighted to hear how you just ordered a “large Pike Place.” Delighted, and almost proud, too.
Miss Sophie, I would really like you to come to Bethlehem Pennsylvania! I think you would love it and we would love to see you!!! And hang out. Because I know we could be life long friends!!!
Yay! I’m so excited that you are coming to Memphis. I will be there!
Oh how I miss MS flea markets! Canton and Mistletoe are the best.
Hope to catch you in Memphis!
Lambert’s?!?! Do they throw the Bibles and gifts?
Wish I could be there! Praying God blesses your time there. That Christmas is just around the corner!
I met Pioneer Woman at Lemuria a couple of weeks ago and now YOU will be at Mistletoe?!? Mississippi is moving up… maybe we are finally in next to last place.
And if the JLJ approved you, you must be doing something right. ;)
Sophie, we need you to come a little further north…Missouri? Warrensburg, MO?
Sophie, Giuliana & BIll will have their show on E! soon; don’t despair :)
I’m in Lubbock, Texas…can’t make it to any of your signings…what’s a girl to do???
I do agree with alll oof the concepts you have presented to your post.
They arre really convinccing and will certainly work. Nonetheless,
the posts are too brief for newbies. May just you plewase extend them a bit from next time?
Thank you for the post.
