DESCRIPTION:Two people who can’t stand each other must come together to plan their mutual ex’s wedding in this new romantic comedy by Taleen Voskuni\, author of Lavash at First Sight. \nAni Avakian was supposed to be the Bay Area’s premier Armenian wedding planner by now.

The wedding is set at a stunning Armenian-owned winery\, and Ani is eager to connect with the owner\, who she’ll be working closely with. But then she actually meets him. Sure\, Raffi is ridiculously hot and charming\, but he’s also insufferably smug.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Local Author Day Introducing Eddie Dovigi & C.A. River
DESCRIPTION:Eddie Dovigi presents Scrubber\nScrubber is a cyberpunk\, neo-noir about a young woman\, Elly\, who is a freelance “scrubber” –a hacker that receives anonymous commissions to illegally delete watermarks on AI-generated media. When her smartdevice pings with a gig that seems too good to be true\, she quickly realizes she may be in over her head. \nThe book takes place in the alleyways of an urban metropolis\, Demos\, that hums with neon pink\, green\, and blue at night. Elly connects with a few characters throughout her mission\, including Lance\, leader of the werewolf sect\, “misanthropic lycanthropes”. Also\, the immaculately dressed\, Dan Dan\, who is like a living and breathing porcelain doll. But Elly isn’t taking any chances or pulling any punches\, she is sure to leave a trail of recordings in her wake in case the long arm of the law\, or worse\, the eyes that seem to lurk in the shadows\, threaten to put a stop to her at any moment. In the end\, these recordings may be Elly’s only hope. \nC.A. River presents Sea of Waking Dreams\nIt is 2001 when Karina Layne decides it’s the right time for gastric bypass surgery. Losing over one hundred pounds seems like an impossible dream\, but she and her husband\, Ryan\, are ready to have children. Determined to confront the childhood trauma that contributed to her unhealthy relationship with food\, Karina returns to her memories to seek healing and begins undergoing a magnificent metamorphosis of mind and body. Karina and Ryan’s bond is strong and promises a long life of passion and happiness. However\, as Karina navigates her new identity\, they face unexpected challenges that rock the foundation of their marriage. When Karina and Ryan’s cousin unexpectedly develops a spark a year after her surgery\, she finds herself torn between her loyalty to Ryan and her growing feelings for Blake. As she is forced to question her beliefs about love and commitment\, she faces an agonizing choice. Will she stay committed to her marriage or take a chance on a different kind of love? And will tragedy derail Karina’s progress toward transformation? In this captivating voyage through love\, healing\, and self-discovery\, a woman’s journey to weight loss leads her to decide what she truly wants-and who she wants to become.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Shari Dunbar Boyer discusses & signs The Book of Modern Ceremony: Practices to Mark Life’s Big and Small Moments
DESCRIPTION:For those seeking connection and meaning in their everyday lives\, an easy-to-follow\, beautiful\, and inspiring manual on performing ceremonies for all occasions and milestones\, from life transitions and family gatherings to holidays and seasonal changes. \nFor as long as humans have existed\, we have performed ceremonies to mark occasions and personal transitions to create meaning and connect with the world\, ourselves\, and each other. Though ceremony is still a cornerstone of many cultures around the globe\, modern rituals are largely confined to just three events: birth\, marriage\, and death. Without our ancestors’ sense of frequent and intentional ceremony\, we have lost the power to bring meaning to our everyday lives. The Book of Modern Ceremony is here to change that. \nWritten by sociologist and ceremonialist Shari Dunbar Boyer\, this book shares more than 30 ceremonies that can be easily incorporated into contemporary life. There are rituals for life transitions\, calendar changes\, and personal growth. Some celebrate familiar events\, like the Untraditional Birthday or Vow Renewal ceremonies\, but others mark important milestones that we often neglect\, such as moving to a new home or entering menopause. And of course\, there are seasonal rituals for every solstice\, equinox\, and moon cycle. \nPresented in easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions\, The Book of Modern Ceremony encourages readers to leave behind the daily stressors of life and connect more deeply with themselves\, their loved ones\, and their own spirituality.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Jasmin ‘Iolani Hakes\, discusses & signs The Pohaku
DESCRIPTION:From the award-winning author of Hula\, a dazzling saga that moves from Hawaii to California and back\, about the generations of women tasked with protecting the history and place that made them. \nA young woman lies in a hospital bed in a coma\, watched over by her estranged grandmother. Some say she jumped off the cliff; others say she was swept away by a wave. But her tutu at her bedside suspects something else is wrong\, that the reason for the hardship and heartbreak in their family history is tied to a story that she’s never told–one about a powerful stone\, the pohaku\, that her family was tasked with protecting generations ago. In fits and starts\, the grandmother begins . . . \nWe travel back in time to the eighteenth century\, when the explorer James Cook becomes the first European to visit the Hawaiian Islands. Cook arrives in pursuit of an ancient prophecy\, a key that would unlock the mysteries of the world\, but he is killed before he can learn about the mysterious stone–a stone born alongside future Hawaiian royalty\, the key to something even more powerful than Cook could have imagined. \nSo begins a thrilling family saga of the women charged with protecting the pohaku\, as it is taken from Hawai’i to California and possibly beyond\, bringing fortune to the well-intentioned and misfortune to the bad. But with each successive generation\, the fractures caused by its displacement widen until it becomes clear that the pohaku’s story must survive if there is to be any hope at all of the family’s–and a nation’s–reconciliation with their home\, with nature\, and with each other. \nReminiscent of Yaa Gyasi’s Homegoing\, Min Jin Lee’s Pachinko\, and Tommy Orange’s There\, There\, The Pohaku is an immersive and bold novel about the history\, perseverance\, and resilience of the Hawaiian people.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: TICKETED - SenLinYu discusses Alchemised
DESCRIPTION:#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this riveting dark fantasy debut\, a woman with missing memories fights to survive a war-torn world of necromancy and alchemy—and the man tasked with unearthing the deepest secrets of her past. \nA SHE READS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR \n“What is it you think you’re protecting in that brain of yours? The war is over. Holdfast is dead. The Eternal Flame extinguished. There’s no one left for you to save.” \nOnce a promising alchemist\, Helena Marino is now a prisoner—of war and of her own mind. Her Resistance friends and allies have been brutally murdered\, her abilities suppressed\, and the world she knew destroyed. \nIn the aftermath of a long war\, Paladia’s new ruling class of corrupt guild families and depraved necromancers\, whose vile undead creatures helped bring about their victory\, holds Helena captive. \nAccording to Resistance records\, she was a healer of little importance within their ranks. But Helena has inexplicable memory loss of the months leading up to her capture\, making her enemies wonder: Is she truly as insignificant as she appears\, or are her lost memories hiding some vital piece of the Resistance’s final gambit? \nTo uncover the memories buried deep within her mind\, Helena is sent to the High Reeve\, one of the most powerful and ruthless necromancers in this new world. Trapped on his crumbling estate\, Helena’s fight—to protect her lost history and to preserve the last remaining shreds of her former self—is just beginning. For her prison and captor have secrets of their own . . . secrets Helena must unearth\, whatever the cost.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Simona Supekar\, discusses & signs Stock Photo (Object Lessons)
DESCRIPTION:Object Lessons is a series of short\, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. \nPart memoir\, part cultural criticism\, Stock Photo mines the significance of the stock photo in our everyday lives\, from the ads and websites we browse\, to the menus and memes that we consume. Through interviews with stock photography experts\, photographers\, models\, consumers\, and other stakeholders\, Simona Supekar explores the evolution of the industry by tracing the creation of a stock photo from concept to usage while highlighting significant historical moments. \nSupekar weaves in her own experiences as a keyworder for a stock photography company while reckoning with her Asian American/South Asian identity in a post-9/11 world. Stock Photo also addresses how these images have the power to shape our perceptions about race\, class/caste\, gender\, ability\, and more\, thus underscoring the importance of representation even in something as innocuous as a stock photo.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Michelle Maryk\, discusses & signs The Found Object Society
DESCRIPTION:Description\nAn atmospheric speculative suspense novel following a mysterious society offering its members the chance to relive the death of another person—and the self-destructive woman determined to uncover its secrets \nThis ambitious\, genre-bending debut is perfect for fans of time-travel fiction including Matt Haig’s The Midnight Library and Gareth Brown’s The Book of Doors \nFor twenty years\, Greta Davenport has lived with the guilt of surviving the accident that killed her parents. She’s tested the limits of her own mortality ever since\, but little gives her the dopamine rush she craves. Not until the night she almost drunkenly crashes her car into a tree\, and a peculiar blank card slides under her front door—an invitation to the Found Object Society. What she discovers there is beyond comprehension: an opulent\, subterranean playground filled with aisles of objects from different eras and regions of the world. Pick an object and go on a voyage to relive the final moments of the person who died holding it\, along with an unparalleled\, irreplicable high. Greta’s hooked\, but she can’t quiet her questions about the society and its enigmatic creators\, the answers to which have implications far beyond her growing dependence on the voyages. Death is addictive\, and what she uncovers will put her entire life into question. \nA fever dream of a novel with episodic\, time-traveling chapters told from multiple points of view\, The Found Object Society examines the depraved whims of the ultrarich and the breadth of unresolved trauma—all while asking how grief and the choices we make in its aftermath can change the course of our lives. Michelle Maryk’s wholly original and ambitious debut opens an impeccably wrought speculative world of greed\, power\, and destiny. \n\n\nAbout the Author\nMichelle Maryk graduated from Cornell University with a degree in English and attended the Yale Writer’s Workshop. For the better part of twenty-five years\, she’s been a successful voiceover\, on-camera commercial\, and comedic actor\, and she is a dual Swedish and US citizen. The Found Object Society is her debut novel.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Michiko Aoyama discusses & signs Hot Chocolate on Thursday
DESCRIPTION:Across a bridge in a quiet neighborhood in Tokyo\, a seasonal cherry blossom sits on the river. Nearby is the Marble Cafe\, where a woman writes in a notebook and a young waiter prepares her favorite hot drink. Both wonder about each other and about the other lives of the clientele who frequent this charming little cafe behind the trees… \nWithout even realizing it\, we may touch and change someone else’s life. \nTaking a walk along the river\, cooking the best tamagoyaki\, ordering hot chocolate\, forgetting to remove our nail polish… The small\, everyday acts that we do can lead to unexpected encounters\, reverberate far beyond our own circle\, and ultimately make a difference in the world around us. \nHot Chocolate on Thursday is a tapestry of slice-of-life moments that each open and close with a woman ordering her regular hot chocolate at the mysterious Marble Cafe. What happens in between will touch and swell your heart\, as we connect with a community of untold unfolding lives.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Elizabeth Day\, discusses & signs One of Us
DESCRIPTION:“Funny\, sharp\, sophisticated\, this is Elizabeth Day’s writing at its finest.” \n–Dolly Alderton\, New York Times bestselling author of Good Material \n“The thinking person’s thriller. A Trojan horse of a book–part Highsmith\, part Waugh–that hides within its superbly gripping plot a gimlet-eyed interrogation of class\, privilege and power.” \n–Lucy Foley \nWhen Fliss\, the eccentric grown daughter of the powerful Fitzmaurice clan\, is found dead on beach in Bali\, what seems like a tragic accident stirs more suspicion than closure for those who’ve traded favors with–and within–her family for decades. \nThere is Ben\, Fliss’s brother\, eager to minimize his sister’s passing\, since it’s suddenly clear he’s next in line to be Prime Minister. And Martin–Ben’s erstwhile best friend–who is just happy that Fliss’s memorial gives him the chance to re-enter the Fitzmaurice orbit\, seeking revenge and acceptance. He can’t help but notice that Ben’s wife\, Serena\, seems to have discovered in middle age that her privileged existence is more like a gilded cage. Or that Ben and Serena’s daughter Cosima has become an environmental activist fighting against everything her parents seem to stand for–a pivot her late aunt would’ve applauded. Where does Richard Take–Ben’s disgraced colleague\, determined to make his big comeback\, fit in? And circling them all is Andrew Jarvis and his money: Has he been their loyal hero\, or the one who has thrown his weight around just to keep them all in check? \nDelivering incisive commentary on the hypocrisies of the elite\, this juicy ensemble drama about old friends and dazzling wealth perfectly captures the uneasy balance between personal ambition and collective responsibility. One of Us is a page-turner with teeth\, a mash-up of The Wedding People and Succession–darkly comic and cutting\, as well as unexpectedly hopeful.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Steven C. Bowie discusses & signs Concerto for Cootie: The Life and Times of Cootie Williams
DESCRIPTION:Jazz legend Cootie Williams left home to start his career as a professional musician at the age of fifteen. In 1940\, after eleven years as one of the major soloists with the Duke Ellington orchestra\, Williams was lured away to the band of Benny Goodman\, one of the most popular bands in the country. At the time\, it was a controversial move–it was still taboo for African Americans to share the bandstand with white people. Current references to the move usually reduce it to a song written by Raymond Scott\, “When Cootie Left the Duke.” In reality\, it was a seismic event. The Black press predicted Black bands would collapse from raids on their ranks. White musicians were afraid they would be put out of work. And the white press stirred up visions of Black musicians mixing with white women in the new landscape of integrated orchestras. \nThe twenty years trumpeter Williams spent as a band leader (1942-1962) have been covered in only the barest of details. His involvement in politics and the civil rights movement have not been detailed before. An astute talent scout\, Williams and his band launched the careers of Eddie “Cleanhead” Vinson\, Earl “Bud” Powell\, Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis\, and Pearl Bailey. He also was the first to record the music of a young Thelonious Monk\, using two of Monk’s compositions (“Epistrophy” and “‘Round Midnight”) as theme songs for his band. \nSteven C. Bowie respectfully tells Williams’s story\, from his Alabama ancestry onward\, including many new details rediscovered from the historical archives of the African American press and those gleaned from the author’s interviews with his friends and colleagues.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore:  Dr. Melisa Moore discusses & signs The Good Sleep Guide for Neurodivergent Kids: Science-Backed Strategies for Children and Teens with Adhd\, Autism\, and Other Neurodiversities
DESCRIPTION:A compassionate\, science-backed guide to improving sleep in children and teens with neurodiversities — written by a renowned pediatric sleep expert who is also the parent of a neurodivergent child. \nWhen Dr. Melisa Moore realized her son had autism and ADHD\, she already had a decade of experience helping families navigate sleep issues\, but nothing had prepared her for the reality of managing sleep in her own household. The advice she had learned felt too rigid\, unrealistic\, or simply ineffective for kids like hers. What she needed was a different kind of guide — so she set out to create one. \nWith humor\, validation\, and true empathy\, Moore offers a multifaceted framework that blends evidence-based science with real-life parenting wisdom. She breaks down the myths of sleep training\, redefines “healthy sleep” for neurodiverse families\, and provides a toolkit for finding what works — for your child\, in your life\, right now\, even if it doesn’t look the way anyone told you it should. As Moore shows\, consistently better sleep is possible\, and The Good Sleep Guide for Neurodivergent Kids will get your family there.
