Thanks Fiona Davis!
This New York Times Best Selling Author joined us for Artful Reads!
New York Times bestselling author Fiona Davis joined our Artful Reads discussion!! She was gracious, insightful, and still joined our scheduled event despite it being a huge day for her career! On the day of book club, it was announced she had been selected as the author for the first American Girl doll book about a grown-up Samanatha in a series for adults! That book comes out in the Fall. She also shared information about her next book, set in New York City, which comes out in 2027.
She is the author of eight best-selling historical fiction novels translated into 20 languages. They are all set in iconic New York City buildings, including The Stolen Queen, The Magnolia Palace, and The Lions of Fifth Avenue, which was a Good Morning America book club pick and an Artful Reads pick we read a couple of years ago and loved!
In preparation for her virtual visit and based on her recommendation, we read two of Fiona's works: The Magnolia Palace and her latest book, The Stolen Queen. We have teamed up with the Dunlap Public Library since 2020 to discuss "arty" reads of various genres. We meet virtually every month, the second Wednesday of the month. We would love to have you join us for our monthly discussions!
You do not have to live in the Dunlap Library district to be a book club member: we actually have a couple of members who live on the East Coast! ADVANCE REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. Please email mweyeneth@dunlaplibrary.org for a meeting invite. Please register at least one hour prior to the book club.
Create...
You don't have to be an experienced artist to make art! Each of us has a creative spirit within us, explore that with one of our classes.
Taught by artists who have work in our gallery, our small classes provide an opportunity for individualized instruction.
Connect...
Creative Soul is about experiences and started from the desire to do three things:
-
Promote the work of local artists with the opportunity for guests to have time with those artists via classes and special events
-
Give people an artful opportunity to connect and make moments and memories with those they cherish. Visit the gallery or take a class with someone who's important to you.
-
Make a difference in our community by supporting veterans and other causes we are passionate about.
