SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Walter Mosley discusses Been Wrong So Long it Feels Like Right: A King Oliver Novel
DESCRIPTION:Joe King Oliver’s beloved Grandma B has found a tumor\, and at her age\, treatment is high-risk. She’s lived life fully and without regrets\, and now has only a single\, dying wish: to see her long-lost son. King has been estranged from his father\, Chief Odin Oliver\, since he was a young boy. He swore to never speak to the man again when he was taken away in handcuffs. But now\, Grandma B’s pure ask has opened King’s heart\, and through his hunt\, he gains a deeper understanding of his father as a complicated\, righteous man—a man defined by women\, a man protected by women\, a man he wants to know. Although Chief was released from prison years ago\, he’s been living underground ever since. Now\, King must not only find his father\, but prove his innocence\, and protect the future of his entire family. \nSimultaneously\, King finds himself in a moral bind. Marigold Hart\, the wife of a powerful Californian billionaire\, has gone missing\, along with their seven-year-old daughter. Orr is brutish and dangerous\, and King realizes after locating her that it’s in her best interest to stay hidden. But are his motives pure? There is something magnetic about Marigold; he can’t help but want her near. \nIn the latest installment in the Joe King Oliver series\, no good deed goes unpunished. Emotionally stirring\, pulse-pounding\, and undeniably sexy\, Been Wrong So Long It Feels Like Right shows Walter Mosley at his best.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: John McMahon discusses Head Cases
DESCRIPTION:Head Cases follows an enigmatic group of FBI agents as they hunt down a murderer seeking his own justice in this electrifying—and commercial—series debut. \nFBI Agent Gardner Camden is an analytical genius with an affinity for puzzles. He also has a blind spot on the human side of investigations\, a blindness that sometimes even includes people in his own life\, like his beloved seven-year-old daughter Camila. Gardner and his squad of brilliant yet quirky agents make up the Patterns and Recognition (PAR) unit\, the FBI’s hidden edge\, brought in for cases that no one else can solve. \nWhen DNA links a murder victim to a serial killer long presumed dead\, the team springs into action. A second victim establishes a pattern\, and the murderer begins leaving a trail of clues and riddles especially for Gardner. And while the PAR team is usually relegated to working cold cases from behind a desk\, the investigation puts them on the road and into the public eye\, following in the footsteps of a killer. \nAlong with Gardner\, PAR consists of a mathematician\, a weapons expert\, a computer analyst\, and their leader\, a career agent. Each of them must use every skill they have to solve the riddle of the killer’s identity. But with the perpetrator somehow learning more and more about the team at PAR\, can they protect themselves and their families…before it’s too late?

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Kim Dower discusses What She Wants
DESCRIPTION:Obsessive love has never been so much fun! What She Wants: Poems on Obsession\, Desire\, Despair\, Euphoria is a powerful tribute to the intensity of obsessive love\, told through the trademark humor and heartbreak of bestselling poet Kim Dower. \nFollowing the commercial and literary success of her bestselling poetry collection\, I Wore This Dress Today for You\, Mom: Poems on Motherhood\, Kim Dower delivers What She Wants: Poems on Obsession\, Desire\, Despair\, Euphoria–turning her keen eye\, vibrant imagination\, trademark insight\, and humor to the intensity of obsessive love. These steamy and provocative poems\, combining humor and heartache\, run through the four phases of Limerence\, the state of being infatuated or obsessed with another person: Infatuation\, Crystallization\, Deterioration\, and Ecstatic Release. From the opening poem\, “She’ll do anything for food\,” to the sexy title poem\, “What She Wants\,” the painfully funny\, “His Other Girlfriend\,” to the longing in “Visiting Baudelaire\,” and the sad\, sweet final poem\, “Fish’s Lament\,” Kim Dower captures the essence of what it means to be stuck on someone–even on a squirrel! Her eclectic\, growing readership will savor these poems that can be read in one sitting\, like a story with an arc\, or separately\, each one recalling the moment of falling in or out of love\, the moment our hearts skipped a beat.

SUMMARY:Ice House: Aida Rodriguez
DESCRIPTION:Ice House Comedy Club presents Aida Rodriquez and friends! \nAida Rodriguez is a comedian\, actor\,lay and writer. Lauded by Esquire Magazine as “raucously funny\,” she has become a favorite with fans and critics alike. With her first-hour standup special now streaming and her own TV series in development\, both at HBOMax\, Aida is bound for the comedy stratosphere. In November 2021\, Aida’s first-hour standup special Fighting Words premiered on HBOMax. In the special\, the comedian takes to the stage to address today’s audiences about cancel culture and the social issues of the day\, not just because they’re ripped from the headlines\, but because they are in the pages torn out of her personal life. Additionally\, Rodriguez is developing her own half-hour comedy series with HBOMax based on her own incredible life story\, which includes surviving two kidnappings\, sexual abuse\, and a period of homelessness. Co-written and executive produced by Rodriguez\, Chris Case (Showtime’s Flatbush Misdemeanors)\, and Nastaran Dibai (Netflix’s Dear White People)\, the project examines the struggle of a comedian (Rodriguez) who is trying to kick start a career while raising two very different teenagers on her own over multiple time zones. It is an uplifting story of survival and triumph in the face of a darkly funny Miami inner-city upbringing\, where she learned\nskills that allowed her to thrive and endure.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Jacqueline Winspear
DESCRIPTION:Psychologist and investigator Maisie Dobbs unravels a profound mystery from her past in a war-torn nation grappling with its future. \nLondon\, 1945: Four adolescent orphans with a dark wartime history are squatting in a vacant Belgravia mansion—the owners having fled London under heavy Luftwaffe bombing. Psychologist and Investigator Maisie Dobbs visits the mansion on behalf of the owners and discovers that a demobilized soldier\, gravely ill and reeling from his experiences overseas\, has taken shelter with the group. \nMaisie’s quest to bring comfort to the youngsters and the ailing soldier brings to light a decades-old mystery concerning Maisie’s first husband\, James Compton\, who was killed while piloting an experimental fighter aircraft. As Maisie unravels the threads of her dead husband’s life\, she is forced to examine her own painful past and question beliefs she has always accepted as true. \nThe award-winning Maisie Dobbs series has garnered hundreds of thousands of followers\, readers drawn to a woman who is of her time\, yet familiar in ours—and who inspires with her resilience and capacity for endurance. This final assignment of her own choosing not only opens a new future for Maisie and her family\, but serves as a  fascinating portrayal of the challenges facing the people of Britain at the close of the Second World War.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Henry Lien discusses & signs Spring\, Summer\, Asteroid\, Bird: The Art of Eastern Storytelling
DESCRIPTION:Discussions in the West around diversity in the arts often focus on the identities of characters and creators. Speculative fiction author and writing instructor Henry Lien makes the pathbreaking argument that diversity is about more than just plopping different faces into stories that are 100 percent Western in spirit; it can–and should–encompass diverse structures\, themes\, and values. \nUsing examples ranging from Parasite to The Thousand and One Nights to the Mario video game franchise\, Lien shows how storytelling staples in the West\, such as the three-act structure and themes of empowerment and change\, are far from universal. He introduces the East Asian four-act structure (kishotenketsu)\, as well as circular and nested structures\, and explains how Eastern value systems such as collectivism can dictate form. Spring\, Summer\, Asteroid\, Bird is essential reading for any writer or reader who wants to broaden their understanding of how to tell a satisfying story.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Alejandro Heredia\, in conversation with Myriam Gurba\, discusses Loca
DESCRIPTION:If Junot Diaz’s critically acclaimed collection Drown and Janet Mock’s Emmy-winning series Pose produced offspring\, Alejandro Heredia’s Loca would be their firstborn. \nIt’s 1999\, and best friends Sal and Charo are striving to hold on to their dreams in a New York determined to grind them down. Sal is a book-loving science nerd trying to grow beyond his dead-end job in a new city\, but he’s held back by tragic memories from his past in Santo Domingo. Free-spirited Charo is surprised to find herself a mother at twenty-five\, partnered with a controlling man\, working at the same supermarket for years\, her world shrunk to the very domesticity she thought she’d escaped in her old country. When Sal finds love at a gay club one night\, both his and Charo’s worlds unexpectedly open up to a vibrant social circle that pushes them to reckon with what they owe to their own selves\, pasts\, futures\, and\, always\, each otherdd \nLoca follows one daring year in the lives of young people living at the edge of their own patience and desires. With expansive grace\, it reveals both the grueling conditions that force people to migrate and the possibility of friendship as home when family\, nations\, and identity groups fall short.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Julie Tieu\, in conversation with Erin La Rosa\, discusses Girl Most Likely To
DESCRIPTION:A frenemies-to-lovers contemporary romance by Julie Tieu which takes place over the course of one make-or-break evening\, almost entirely at a high school reunion…. \n“For the rom-com fans\, you can never go wrong with a Julie Tieu book.”— Buzzfeed \nRachel Dang once voted “Most Likely to Succeed” in high school\, is unemployed for the first time. After years of doing everything her boss asked\, it’s time to say yes to new opportunities. So when she gets invited to her twentieth high school reunion by none other than her former frenemy\, Danny Phan\, Rachel agrees despite their unresolved past. \nAs a teenager\, Danny was seen as smart\, but unfocused. Teachers often paired him with Rachel\, hoping her work ethic would rub off on him. Though Danny and Rachel weren’t exactly friends\, she had seen a different side of him\, one that only existed online over intimate late-night AIM chats that never translated into real life. When they meet again\, Rachel discovers their roles have reversed. Danny is thriving in his career while she’s the one flailing. \nThe reunion takes an unexpected turn when a simple errand takes them into town for a night of mishaps and misadventures where they run into a colorful cast of characters from their childhood. Rachel and Danny soon rediscover the feelings they once shared and must decide if this is only a quick trip down memory lane or a second chance for their happily ever after. \nErin La Rosa is the author of The Backtrack\, Plot Twist\, For Butter or Worse\, Womanskills\, and The Big Redhead Book. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and four daughters (two human\, and two feline).

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore:  TICKETED - Patrick Renna signs A Little Slugger’s Guide to the Unwritten Rules of Baseball and Life
DESCRIPTION:Patrick Renna (The Sandlot) signs copies of his book A Little Slugger’s Guide to the Unwritten Rules of Baseball and Life.\nPatrick Renna\, best known for his role in the 1993 film The Sandlot\, offers baseball-themed anecdotes and affirmations. Heartfelt reminders that life’s a marathon\, not a sprint\, may be familiar\, but many young readers will find them revelatory. The author also stresses that failure is just as much a part of life as success\, encourages children to embrace individuality and work hard despite being the underdog\, and emphasizes that practice shows commitment and “prepares you for the big game or the test.” All these lessons will be relatable to young people\, and many are supported by real-life stories: basketball superstar Michael Jordan’s short-lived stint in minor league baseball\, an unexpected victory during Game One of the 2015 World Series\, and Renna’s willingness to swallow his fear when\, as a young teen\, he was handed a new script just an hour before shooting a pivotal scene inThe Sandlot. Each tidbit stands alone\, but taken together\, all 20 tenets provide a lively road map to life. The colorful spot art features images of diverse young baseball players\, plus some visually appealing double-page spreads filled with movement and action. White space is used thoughtfully\, allowing readers to reflect on how these words of wisdom might apply to them. A solid base hit\, with guidance on the great American pastime–and life itself. \nThis ticketed event is a book signing & photo op only and tickets include a copy of A Little Slugger’s Guide to the Unwritten Rules of Baseball and Life\, to be picked up at check in the day of the event. \nEvent Guidelines: \nPatrick Renna will be signing the book only\, no memorabilia. \nPhoto op pictures will be taken with your camera by a Vroman’s employee.plays \nQuestions?
