| Wallace J. Nichols, Day 66 | |
Tomorrow, Buxton Village Books in Buxton, N.C., will host the Worldwide Blue Mind Online Book Club Finale, featuring Wallace J. Nichols, author of Blue Mind: The Surprising Science that Shows How Being Near, In, On or Under Water Can Make You Happier, Healthier, More Connected and Better at What You Do. Doors open at Avon Fire Hall at 6:30 p.m. and the bookstore will go live around the world, via Facebook Live, at 7 p.m.
Owner Gee Gee Rosell said: "As far as I can tell, this is the first ever worldwide Facebook Live platform online book club. The author has read pages every day for 67 days now [see Day 66 here]. We will meet here on Hatteras Island this Saturday to finish up. J (as the author is known) will be here from California."
"It's been an exciting experiment," Rosell added. "I think this promises to be a great platform for indies to connect readers with authors. I especially love it that using this new-ish media conveys that we indies are not fading but thriving and current."
