If you didn’t grab a copy of Ann Garvin’s Bummer Camp when it was featured as an Amazon “First Reads” selection in August, here’s your chance to purchase an actual print copy from a local indie bookstore. Bummer Camp — the sixth novel from the witty Madison-based USA Today bestselling author — focuses on two adult sisters sucked into the family business: a run-down Wisconsin theater camp overtaken by a crackpot life coach who converts it into a camp for anxious and depressed adults. Garvin will be joined in conversation by another Madison novelist, Christina Clancy, whose third novel (The Snowbirds) will be published in February. This event is free, but reservations are requested, and it also will be livestreamed; find links at mysterytomebooks.com.
