Bookworks to host author Meg Mullins on March 3

AT BOOKWORKS

Albuquerque author Meg Mullins will read from and sign copies of her latest short story collection, “We Are All Having Fun Here,” at 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 3.

A description of the book on the store’s website says the stories in the collection are “without fear or judgment, each story unlocks a door to something hidden, toeing the line between discomfort and relatability.”

The collection explores such subjects as girlhood, grief and intimacy that push against assumptions and break boundaries.

Mullins’ previous books — all acclaimed novels — were “The Rug Merchant,” “Dear Strangers” and “This Is How I’d Love You.”

The bookstore is located at 4022 Rio Grande Blvd. NW.

AT BOOKS ON THE BOSQUE
