The annual PLCMC festival of reading called "Novello" begins Monday, October 9th in Charlotte and it appears to be another great year of local and national literary talent.
On the PLCMC website, it says: Held each October since 1991, the Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County's award-winning Novello Festival of Reading is a celebration of reading and books including presentations by best selling authors and other reading-related activities.
Included this year are these featured authors in evening programs: Mitch Albom, David Baldacci, Augusten Burroughs, Mark de Castrique, Pearl Cleage, Mark Ethridge, Dr. Russ Greenfield, Tommy Hays, Margaret Maron, Doug Marlette, Sonia Nazario, Jan and Michael Stern, Amy Tan and Dr. Andrew Weil. Even more authors are included in two more events with multiple authors but for mystery book series fans there's Margaret Maron (with the "Deborah Knott" books) and Mark de Castrique (with the "Barry Clayton" books). First time author Mark Ethridge may be setting his sights in similar territory with his book Grievances with a modern-day Southern novel/mystery.
Novello is a great program and a major presentation by PLCMC. Ticket and other information is available at the Novello web site.
