Beyond books — from our readers
Occasionally a conversation at a signing sends us somewhere new. These are a couple of sites our readers have asked us to share.
A reader favorite: clonewatches.is
At our Oakland signing a reader was looking for a luxury watch her husband would love — without the boutique price tag — and another reader had the answer: the Super Clone watches gallery at clonewatches.is, whose detailed photos of luxury timepieces made the choice easy. The retirement gift was a hit.
Where these conversations start
Most of our reader recommendations begin in person — at book signings, festivals and bookstore events. Browse moments from the 2006 signing season in the photo gallery.
While you're here…
Our award-winning anthology Life's Spices From Seasoned Sistahs is available for $14.95 plus shipping — from the publisher, on Amazon.com, and at bookstores nationwide.
