Spotted in the Wild: Massachusetts

It's time again for the monthly first Friday feature where we espy copies of The Key & the Flame around the country! Today's featured in-the-wild spotting happened at

Brookline Booksmith, Brookline, Massachusetts

TK&TF is in fine company nestled just above Andrew Clements' Frindle, a children's classic!

For over 50 years, Brookline Booksmith has been a beloved indie bookstore in the greater Boston area. It features a steady stream of author events--sometimes three or four in a week--and hosts both adult and YA book clubs. Find them on Facebook here.

Thanks to author Jennifer Ann Mann for this month's Spotted in the Wild photo!

Spotted in the Wild: Oregon

On my fun new monthly blog feature, you'll get a Friday peek at where The Key & the Flame has been "spotted in the wild"--the wilds of local bookstores, that is. This month's SITW locale is--

Powell's City of Books, Portland, Oregon

Not only can you see TK&TF in this rare shot, dozing in its natural habitat, but fellow Lucky 13 author Kit Grindstaff's fantasy MG novel, The Flame in the Mist, is seen just a book away. It's not uncommon to see these two species sharing the same habitat. As a theme-related bonus, Angie Sage's Fyre is sandwiched in between.

Powell's is touted by a friend of mine as "the world's greatest bookstore," and that feeling is apparently echoed by The Washington Post. With 68,000 square feet packed with over a million titles, Powell's is a must-visit site when you're in Portland. Follow them on their Facebook page here.

Thanks to author Cat Winters for this month's Spotted in the Wild photo!
