Event: Reading in a Secret Garden

[reviews_and_ramblings]

Date: Thursday, August 19, 2010
Time: 2pm - 3pm
Place: The University of Saskatchewan Main Bookstore in Marquis Hall - Palliser Gardens (The Secret Garden). Weather permitting - inside otherwise - no worries - the garden will be not-so-secret that day - there will be plenty of signs showing the way.

In celebration of the grand re-opening of the newly renovated University of Saskatchewan bookstore in Marquis Hall, Anthony Bidulka will be doing a reading in what heretofore has been a secret garden area attached to the bookstore. Apparently it has always been there, but few have ...known about it.

His event is part of a weeklong (Aug 16-21) series of events showing off the store.

Everyone is welcome, free

Amazon: Date with a Sheesha: A Russell Quant Mystery

Neil Gupta went to the Middle East looking for antique carpets. He found something equally timeless: murder. When Neil is found stabbed to death in Dubai's spice souk, his distraught father wants revenge. He hires private investigator Russell Quant to catch the killer. In his greatest case to date, Quant goes undercover to match wits with a wily museum curator, shifty souk merchants, corrupt carpet experts, and the denizens of an underground club for "fabulous" men. From the flamboyant glitz of Dubai to the scorching sand dunes of Saudi Arabia, Quant risks his life as he wades further and further into the shadows cast by the desert sun. As Russell's spicy international adventure heats up, he learns a valuable lesson about love, life, and learning to seize the moment...before it's gone. On the verge of making the biggest personal decision of his life, Russell discovers that endings sometimes come before beginnings.
