The bird is on the wing! Yesterday Mark Lyons launched his exceptional memoir HOMING to a standing-room-only crowd at Mt. Airy Nexus.

By the end of the event, the stock of books was sorely depleted, as were the chocolate cake, pepperoni roll-ups, and red wine. (Plenty of carrots and celery remained, however. Our readers must gravitate toward the decadent.)

If you're not in the photos here, you'll have another chance soon: Mark will be reading at Narberth Bookshop on Thursday, December 5, 7 p.m. If you love celery and carrots, we'd especially like to see you, since your cohort was underrepresented the first time.
