ABSW will also be part of an off-site event at Conbust, a feminist science fiction/fantasy convention at Smith College in Northampton, MA on March 29th. Patty and Padraic will be there all day Saturday, and Patty will be presenting on “The Women of Doctor Who.” There will also be a table with selected titles by the convention guests and guests of honor, as well as some of our popular Doctor Who toys and gift items.
Don’t forget, either, every Wednesday we don’t have an event, join us for Spinning Yarns! Crafty readers are invited to stop in to knit, crochet, or work on your craft while listening to an audiobook or audio drama!
May your world be filled with wonderful words!
