Arcadia Books, Spring Green, Wis., recently hosted an event for Jaquira Diaz, author of the memoir Ordinary Girls (Algonquin). To promote the appearance, the bookshop displayed a selection of Diaz's favorite reads.
"We were thrilled to have Lydia Jensen, one of our booksellers, interview Jaquira," wrote Arcadia co-manager and children's book buyer Nancy Baenen. "Lydia is 17 and has been a bookseller for two years. We used your interview with Jaquira in last week's SA Pro to make a display of books that have influenced her and books on her TBR list. We were very proud and honored to host Jaquira and to spread the word about her very important memoir."
