# Event Details

- **Event Name**: An Evening with Great Reads from Great Places Author Denise Williams
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 13 Oct, 2026 at 06:30 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Join the Ames Public Library for a visit with Denise Williams, author of "The Re-Do List."

"The Re-Do List" is the Iowa Center for the Book's 2026 Great Reads from Great Places selection for adult readers. Written with Williams’s characteristic humor and relatability, this is a sweet romance (with a little spice) about two people sincerely connecting with and appreciating each other.

This book is not only written by a contemporary Iowan author, but it’s also set in Iowa. It depicts life (and romance) in the capital city of Des Moines, a perspective of Iowa many people never see. Published in January of 2026, the book is a USA Today Bestseller.

Denise Williams wrote her first book in the 2nd grade. “I Hate You” and its sequel, “I Still Hate You,” featured a tough, funny heroine, a quirky hero, witty banter, and a dragon. Minus the dragons, these are still the books she likes to write. After penning those early works, she finished second grade and eventually earned a PhD. Denise lives in Iowa and can usually be found reading, writing, or thinking about love stories.


Books will be available for purchase and signing courtesy of Dog-Eared Books.

This event will also be streamed live online via Zoom.


Presented in partnership with Ames Public Library, Iowa Center for the Book, and Dog-Eared Books. This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Supported by Ames Public Library Friends Foundation.
