By Sarah Hickner, Reston Letter Book Club President
Our inaugural Reston Letter Book club meetup featured the prolific Reston author, Donna Andrews. We sipped tea while Andrews spilled the tea on all things writing and murder mystery. I would love to tell you about real life people who have made it into the pages of her books (and may or may not have survived), but those are official RL Book Club secrets! The new location of the Elden Street Tea Shop at Lake Anne was a perfect setting for our gathering. We finished the evening inspired and ready to meet more local authors.
For the next meetup we will be discussing our next book, “In His Own Words: Stories From the Extraordinary Life of Robert E. Simon Jr.” by Reston’s own Kristina Alcorn. We will meet on August 1 at Veloce Deli in Reston to discuss the book with Kristina. Our goal is to bring Reston area authors and readers together, so our next book will teach us about the town that started it all. The book is available locally at Reston Museum and new copies are also for sale at the Reston Used Book Store.
