Terry Gilman, owner of Mysterious Galaxy Books in San Diego, is one of the great book lovers of the West Coast. She organized an LA-based “Ladies, Lunch & Literacy” series which brought debut authors to the South Bay to read, give a talk, and enjoy lunch with readers, many of whom
participated in local book groups. In addition to the LA event, Terry invited me to her San Diego bookstore for a delicious event called, “Wine, Women, Books & Chocolate,” which offers readers the opportunity to discuss books and their lives in a relaxed, informal setting. This wonderful bookstore belongs on every book enthusiast’s list.
