Hello everyone!
If you check out the link above, you will hear a story which includes interviews of John Grisham (the famous author), Richard Howorth (the mayor of Oxford), our own Gabi, and me.
Now, I don't want you to think that Gabi and I spent some time with these interesting people for this interview, because that is not the truth. Maybe we will be lucky enough to meet them one day. However, the day that interview was made, the only person we actually saw from this news story is the reporter. The way it happened....We were wandering around the Square shortly after some students (including Gabi) had arrived. I was trying to show them some of the interesting things about this town. We walked into Square Books, one of my favorite stores on this whole planet, and that is where we met the reporter. He was very intrested to see our group in the store, since we were from so many different countries. He asked if he could talk to us for a moment, and this radio story is the result.
If you haven't been to Square Books, yet, or if you haven't noticed they have a small coffee shop and a wonderful balcony patio to sit on and drink your coffee, then you MUST go visit this place. Authors are always visiting this bookstore to read to their fans and sign books. They always leave extra signed copies of their books at the store, too, and you can buy them for the normal price of the book (no extra cost for the author's signature). If you have been to Square Books, how did you like it? Maybe we can all stop by their patio for a coffee some time!
That is a wonderful posting. If Ihave an extra time I will drop there to buy some of these books and get some autographs
ReplyDeleteHi Tracy, we´re famous now!!! some people on the IEP told me Hey I heared you! I am really surprised about that, I told my husbands and my daughters and of course my mom, she is a really a big fan of Grisham. I went to the Squeare Books several times since that day and I couldn´t buy more books, I will going to pay overweight and I need to buy another suitcase.

Wow, Iam amazed that Gabi and U debuted on the broadcast!!!! Now Iam interested in John Grisham! Iam gonna to go the Square bookstore and buy some Grisham's book!!
ReplyDeletevery funny, Hidemi! We didn't meet John Grisham that day. We only met the reporter. I was showing some students how to use the bus system during our orientation week. While we were on the Square, I was showing them some of the interesting places there, like the book store. That is when the reporter saw us and began talking to us. John Grisham's books are quite interesting, and they make good movies. Every time he releases a new book, the first place he comes to sign the books is always Square Books here in Oxford.
