Richardson Reads Draws Almost 1,500 Participants, Best Program in 10 Year History!

Richardson Texas packed the house last month for a visit from Markus Zukas, international bestselling author of The Book Thief. With almost 1,500 participants over three activities, the Richardson Reads event eas universally acknowledged by the event organizers as the best program in its 10 year history!  Markus was a delightful presenter, sharing one heartfelt moment with a young lady from Richardson High School that left many in the audience in tears.  Susan Allison, coordinator of the event, is already worried about how they can possibly top the 2013 event next year.  A good problem to have! Luckily, Books in Common will be there to help Richardson Reads hit it out of the park once again.  “Y’all have been great!” Susan said.
