Book Signing with Nichole Bernier Thursday, April 18th, 7pm – 9pm
The Spiral Bookcase welcomes Nichole Bernier into the shop to share her first novel, The Unfinished Work of Elizabeth D (Crown/Random House, 2012). This bittersweet and beautifully written story of two women —their friendship, their marriages, private ambitions and fears — considers the aspects of ourselves we show and those we conceal, and the repercussions of our choices. It was a finalist for the New England Independent Booksellers Award, and spent 7 weeks on the Boston Globe bestseller list.
During the event, Nichole will read excerpts from her novel and sign copies of her book. Special guest Robin Black, author of If I Loved You, I would Tell You This, will lead an engaging Q & A session, providing an intimate look into the novel and Nichole’s writing process. Books will be available for purchase at The Spiral Bookcase and light refreshments will be provided.

Book Signing with Paul Gallender Wednesday, April 17th, 7pm-9pm
The Spiral Bookcase welcomes Paul Gallender to share his biography of the extraordinary Sonny Liston: Sonny Liston – The Real Story Behind the Ali-Liston Fights. He introduces the reader to a man who, while not a saint, had a sense of fairness and depth of character that was acknowledged for the most part only by his family, friends, and children of all races
“Liston was arguably the most hated, feared and misunderstood athlete of the 20th century,” says Gallender. “Because of that, most of what the world knows about him has little basis in fact.”
During the event, Gallender will read excerpts from the book, answer audience questions, and sign copies of his book. We anticipate that this event will be well-attended. Please be aware that space is limited in the shop and attendees will be admitted on a first come, first serve basis. Books will be available to purchase at The Spiral Bookcase (pre-orders are recommended).
