Earlier this year I thrifted a copy of The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave. Mysteries are not typically the first book I reach for but I had been hearing about the netflix adaptation so I picked it up. I am always a proponent of reading the book first because the book is always better.
That was my first dip into the Laura Dave world and I wanted more! I went to preorder her next book The Night We Lost Him and was excited to see that she would be doing a signing nearby. That's how I ended up meeting Laura and getting my book signed this past weekend.
The signing was at a place called Little Saint hosted by Copperfield Books. Little Saint is a pretty cool venue. It's a restaurant and coffee shop on the bottom and upstairs has a stage where they often have music.
Julia Claiborne Johnson moderated with Laura Dave and it was such a fun time! They both had me cracking up and played off each other so well. Hearing about the "behind the scenes" to their books was so neat. It was also really interesting getting to hear from and author about what it's like having their book adapted to film and that whole process. I unfortunately hadn't read Julia's book before but definitely left with a copy. Can't wait to dive into her book and some of Laura's older books!
