On Saturday, June 21, Barnes & Noble at Hamilton Place Mall will host Southern-native Bonnie Blue Edwards for a reading and signing of her new book, Stressed Out & Scatterbrained — a quirky, illustrated collection of poems described as a “children’s book for adults.”
Originally from Alabama, Bonnie spent the last decade building a creative career in New York City. This book captures that journey through funny, honest, and heartfelt snapshots of city life — from subway mishaps and bad dates to moments of growth and resilience. It’s fully for adults, but written and illustrated in the playful style of a picture book.
She’s recently returned to the area and is working on a second volume based on time spent here in Chattanooga. The June 21 event is free, open to the public, and perfect for fans of creative storytelling, poetry, and visual art.
