I added this book to my (admittedly, very large) TBR pile last year and am so glad I fished it out last week. My mom and sister-in-law were both Postmasters and this book gave me a new appreciation for the employees of the USPS. We are very fortunate to have the postal system that we do. Plus, it’s a great read!

This guy…amazing author, excellent speaker and all-around great human! Bluebird Books was honored to host William Kent Krueger at Ortenstone Gardens today to promote the latest book in his Cork O’Connor series, God’s Country. While we’re sad to hear that he won’t be touring in 2027 we were THRILLED to hear the prologue from his new stand-alone book, which will be released in 2028. If you haven’t read any of his books, we suggest you start now!

If you are planning to attend please come a little early so that Kent can start speaking at 3:00!! You may have to park in the lower parking area, as parking in the upper area is limited. Share rides if possible, please!
