Bucket Book series launched
July 30, 2016 10:12 Bucket Lists
This is my new blog on Bucket Lists. The reason for it is simple. We have a new series of Bucket List Books and they are wildly popular because people of all ages are giving themselves Bucket Lists to achieve.
Our philosophy at Rio Grande Books is we did not want to do the same, generic, everyone has them, Bucket List Book. So, we started with a New Mexico Bucket List, followed by the Hot Air Balloon Bucket List for Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque. Slim Randles, one of the world’s great cowboys, wrote the Cowboy Bucket List for the cowboy in each of us. Loretta Hall is our space expert with two Best of Show books on space. She wrote the Space Buff’s Bucket List for all of you spacey folks. Pat Hodapp, the Director of the Santa Fe Library, was no better person to have write the Santa Fe Bucket List. Tourists and residents LOVE it. Next, was the Green Chile Cheeseburger Bucket List with many of the places you need to eat a green chile cheeseburger in New Mexico. The Kick The Bucket List is coming out momentarily from Gail Rubin, the Doyenne of Death, and the Christmas Bucket List for holiday gifts. Of course, any of them would make good gifts.
This blog will explore items from each Bucket List Book, speaking and signing engagements for all the authors, special deals, guest blog by our authors, and new books. We want to hear from you!
We all have bucket lists whether we write them down or not. Don’t you want a bucket list before you die?

It all started with . . .
July 30, 2016 09:52 Bucket Lists
My name is Barbe Awalt. I had a dream. In the dream it said do Bucket List books. Each book had to have 100 items, a picture for each item, a website when we can for each item, a charity for each book, Near Misses of things suggested, a blank Bucket List for YOU, inexpensive, and short.
So, I started writing the Basic New Mexico Bucket List book. It is “Basic” because we used that book to work out the kinks. The writing was easy. Getting all the pictures was difficult.
So a series was born.
