Galveston Reads 2011 author Luis Alberto Urrea appeared at Galveston College on Thursday evening February 17th and thoroughly delighted the approximately 170 Galvestonians in attendance with with his engaging childhood stories and real-life anecdotes pertaining to his novel Into the Beautiful North, this year’s book pick. A lively and quick witted speaker, he held us all spell bound for over an hour. Mr. Urrea then generously fielded audience questions and signed copies of his books.
Thanks to all who attended and to all who purchased books from us. The event was great success for the Galveston Reads program.
