SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: TICKETED - Maria Semple\, in conversation with Jennette McCurdy\, discusses & signs Go Gentle
DESCRIPTION:“Maria Semple is a treasure.” –Los Angeles Times \nThe New York Times bestselling author of Where’d You Go\, Bernadette returns to form in her most exuberant and life-affirming novel yet with the story of one woman’s cheerful determination to live a life of the mind only to have the heart force its way in. \nAdora Hazzard has it all figured out. A Stoic philosopher and divorcée\, she lives a contented life on New York City’s Upper West Side. Having discovered that the secret to happiness is to desire only what you have\, she’s applied this insight to blissful effect: relishing her teenage daughter\, the freedom of being solo\, and her job as a moral tutor for the twin boys of an old-money family. She’s even assembled a “coven”–like-minded women who live on the same floor in the legendary Ansonia–and is making active efforts to grow its membership. Adora’s carefully curated life is humming along brilliantly until a chance meeting with a handsome stranger. \nSoon\, her ordered world is upended by black-market art deals\, secret rendezvous\, and international intrigue . . . and her past–which she has worked so hard to bury–lands like a bomb in her present. Inflamed by unquenchable desire\, Adora finds herself a woman wanting more: and she’ll risk everything to get it. \nAdora Hazzard’s journey of self-discovery will grip you from the start. Romantic\, hilarious\, intelligent\, and bursting with the stuff of life\, Go Gentle is a thrilling story of one woman’s mid-life transformation\, cementing Maria Semple in the pantheon of our most exciting and important contemporary writers.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: TICKETED - Jordan Harper\, in conversation with S.A. Cosby\, discusses & signs A Violent Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:The next epic crime novel from Jordan Harper\, a story of Los Angeles power brokers and those at the edge\, and a single shattering incident that threatens to bring it all crashing down. \nLos Angeles\, right now. America with its back up against the wall. This Frankenstein’s monster of crimes and lurid dreams sewn together into something like a city. \nA city ready to explode: A Hollywood pedophile is arrested\, and is ready to tear down the city to get his freedom. A young woman goes missing — and men in black rubber gloves who look like cops clean out her apartment in the middle of the night. And the serial killer known as the LA Ripper is on the loose\, leaving tragic/graphic/brutal crime scenes in his wake. Three people trying to keep their heads above the dirty water will find themselves coming together to unite these strands into one enormous\, unspeakable crime … \nJake Deal is a gonzo live-streaming nightcrawler\, beaming the city’s chaos straight to his audience of blood-hungry subscribers\, giving them the view from the top of the mushroom cloud — until a job he can’t refuse drags him back into his old life of Hollywood glamour\, drugs\, sex and sleaze. Armed with cameras and hidden mics\, he’ll infiltrate private clubs\, gather high-class dirt — and stumble onto a conspiracy woven into the center of LA’s most powerful men\, who call themselves “The Kids in the Candy Store.” \nDoug Gibson is a street lawyer\, who fights for his clients against the army of cops\, prosecutors and judges – he is the knife they bring to the gunfight. But when he’s hired by a Hollywood pedophile ready to sell out his friends for a chance for freedom\, he’ll take on a fight bigger than he could have imagined. And when his client “commits suicide” in prison\, Gibson will have to stop being a weapon – and become a warrior. \nKara Delgado works for an underground private concierge company – a make-a-wish foundation for the terminally rich. She scores drugs\, makes connections\, and plans multi-million dollar sex parties.She has learned the secret truth of this world: there are no rules\, only prices. Her best friend Phoebe has gone missing\, and Kara’s the only person who knows that Phoebe’s place was wiped clean of evidence by men in black rubber gloves. But when she begins to unravel the mystery of what happened to Phoebe\, and its connection to the killer known as the LA Ripper\, it will drag her into the dark heart of the city. \nAs Jake\, Doug and Kara all investigate these crimes\, they’ll encounter ketamine-addled sitcom stars\, bloody riots\, homeless gangsters\, a killer cop on death row\, secret vaults in Beverly Hills\, tech-bro orgies\, medical cannibals\, true crime junkies\, private security wet-work teams\, reality shows\, street takeovers\, car chases\, coyotes\, a sadistic Tarzan\, and a three day\, fifty million dollar wedding\, before everything is revealed and they must each make their choice about how to fight back in this violent world before the bloody\, blazing conclusion.\n \nThis is a ticketed program and will take place at Vroman’s Bookstore\, located at 695 E. Colorado Blvd\, Pasadena\, CA 91101. \nYour Eventbrite ticket will include a copy of A Violent Masterpiece\, to be handed out at check-in on the night of the program.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Mario Garcia discusses & signs Rupert García: The Making of an American Artist\, a Testimonio
DESCRIPTION:This is the first biography of the renowned American Chicano visual artist and activist Rupert García\, drawing on fifty hours of interviews conducted over thirty years and accompanied by eighty images. This in-depth oral history gives an unparalleled look at García’s life and work\, tracing his evolution as an artist and the political upheavals that shaped his life and worldview. \nMario T. García’s testimonio places Rupert García’s art in historical perspective\, from his beginnings as a working-class Mexican American from California’s Central Valley\, his coming of age in the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam War\, his involvement in the antiwar movement during the San Francisco State student strike in 1968-69\, and his participation in the Chicano Movement and beyond. Influenced by history and politics\, García’s vital works of art represent a changing world through the eyes of an artist\, speaking to issues of poverty\, racism\, capitalism\, war\, and the role of the artist in society. \nHis art–from revolutionary silkscreen posters to monumental pastels to portraits of political icons like Frida Kahlo\, Che Guevara\, and Dolores Huerta–serves to critique history and reassess it. It is work that will endure for generations to come.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Keala Kendall discusses & signs That Which Feeds Us: A Hawaiian Gothic
DESCRIPTION:A native Hawaiian teen travels to a luxury island resort in search of her missing twin and uncovers the dark side of paradise\, in this YA supernatural thriller that’s Mexican Gothic meets She is a Haunting. \n“This astounding book is both a finger pointed directly at the rotting heart of colonial greed and a truly heart-pounding mystery.” — Andrew Joseph White\, New York Times bestselling author of Compound Fracture \nFor the world’s wealthiest\, Kōpaʻa Island Resort is more than a destination. It’s the ultimate escape. With no cell service or Wi-Fi\, the Hawaiian island is a coveted wellness retreat renowned for its persimmon orchard and promises of rejuvenation. \nBut their dream vacation is Lehua’s nightmare. When her twin sister\, Ohia\, goes missing\, Lehua follows her trail to Kōpaʻa to find her. Instead\, Lehua is cut off from civilization–and help–after the island’s boat leaves without her\, stranding her with the resort’s lavish guests and enigmatic staff. \nAs Lehua investigates Ohia’s disappearance\, she discovers her missing sister isn’t the island’s only mystery. Kōpaʻa’s rich exterior and sweet persimmons hide its dark plantation past. And Lehua can’t ignore the dreams haunting her each night–nor the warning telling her to leave the island at once. To uncover what happened to Ohia\, Lehua will have to unearth the island’s bloody history and face the horrors that lurk within its sugarcane fields–or risk being consumed by them. \nSharply observed and gorgeously written\, That Which Feeds Us explores the true cost of paradise as Lehua must fight to reclaim the land\, the stories\, and the very souls of her people.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Jenna Ramirez discusses & signs Burnout Summer
DESCRIPTION:For fans of Tessa Bailey\, Emily Henry\, and Elle Kennedy: a beachy friends-to-lovers romance through a post-grad journey that will have readers cheering (and falling in love!) along. \nFour years after graduation\, life isn’t going the way Camille Luna expected. Her corporate career is soul-sucking\, she’s in debt from student loans\, and her breakup with her ex has created a serious rift between her college best friends. When her spiraling lands her in jail for the night\, it’s Danny Brennan –the lovable burnout from their college clique– who bails her out and offers the perfect solution to her quarter-life crisis: a summer by the beach. \nCam is whisked away to Elswick\, Rhode Island\, where former slacker Danny has taken over his uncle’s restaurant and turned it into a seaside hotspot. But while Danny has grown into a devoted boss and dog dad\, his carpe diem life philosophy is still as fiery as ever. The hazy summer days start to blur between shifts at the restaurant\, dips in the ocean\, and a reignited passion for writing\, all alongside Danny who makes her laugh like nobody else. Cam can’t help but wonder –is it the salty waves that have her feeling so renewed\, or is it the carefree friend she always overlooked? But summer can’t last forever\, and Cam’s looming student debt reminds her at every turn that the frigid air of corporate office life is waiting. \nAs September approaches\, Cam must decide between snuffing out the flames with Danny in order to keep her beloved friend group together and return to the corporate grind–or falling into his forbidden arms and setting her old life ablaze.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Steven J. Ross discusses & signs The Secret War Against Hate
DESCRIPTION:From the author of Pulitzer Prize finalist Hitler in Los Angeles\, the definitive story of the intrepid activists and spies who fought against a resurgent movement of hate in America. \nAmericans today like to believe that the end of World War II brought a new era of tolerance in the United States. But antisemitism and racism went up-not down-after the war’s end. Violence broke out in cities across the country\, and the number of organized hate groups more than doubled from 1940 to 1946. In this shocking account of a resurgence of White Supremacy in America\, celebrated historian Steven J. Ross reveals how four key leaders-Emory Burke\, J. B. Stoner\, James Madole\, and George Lincoln Rockwell-worked together to “finish the job Hitler had begun\,” launching deadly attacks on Jews and African Americans and building a network of terrorists across the U.S. In response to this “war of hate\,” three men-Arnold Forster of the Anti–Defamation League\, George Mintzer of the American Jewish Committee\, and James Sheldon of the Non–Sectarian Anti–Nazi League-along with dozens of men and women\, launched a multipronged effort: They infiltrated\, monitored\, and undermined these hate groups\, putting their own safety on the line and scoring important victories that\, today\, have been all but forgotten. \nTracing the extraordinary work of these unsung heroes\, The Secret War Against Hate provides a groundbreaking reconsideration of the legacy of the “Good War\,” and essential reading on how America today can beat hate once again and build a just and united nation.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Alyssa Villaire discusses & signs The Neon Sky
DESCRIPTION:For fans of Stephanie Garber and Maggie Stiefvater comes the bewitching sequel to The Glittering Edge\, where magic is real\, witches make irresistible boyfriends\, and keeping secrets is dangerous–but not as dangerous as the truth. \nPenny Emberly didn’t expect to fall head over heels for Alonso De Luca last summer–or to discover that he’s a witch. Together with their friend Corey Barrion\, they managed to save her mother from a deadly spell. Now autumn has arrived\, and Penny believes they can take on anything. \nBut darkness is descending on the small town of Idlewood. Corey is desperate to undo the bloody legacy that made his family rich. The price\, however\, is steep: to unravel the magical bargain made by his grandfather\, Corey must take a life. \nAs Corey wrestles with an impossible choice\, Alonso begins to change. The more he pushes the limits of his magic\, the more volatile\, violent\, and possessive he becomes. When tragedy strikes one of their classmates\, the trio is forced to confront a terrifying question: is Alonso being consumed by something that’s bent on the destruction of everyone around him–especially Penny and Corey? \nAs supernatural forces drive them apart\, Penny\, Corey\, and Alonso must decide what they’re willing to sacrifice before more blood is spilled–even if it means losing each other.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Natalie Lemle discusses & signs Artifacts
DESCRIPTION:For readers of The Cloisters and Counterfeit\, Natalie Lemle’s debut novel offers an insider’s view into the world of stolen artifacts and the hidden networks that link museums to organized crime\, when a woman is forced to remember the summer she spent on an archaeological dig in Italy\, as everyone she knew then may now be in danger. \nSuccessful trusts and estates attorney Lena Connolly is asked by a colleague to assist on a case: the Italian government claims an artifact was looted and sold to a museum illegally\, and is seeking repatriation. The object in question is a cup made of dichroic glass\, which would have been rare even in Ancient Rome\, let alone thousands of years later. \nLena has done everything she can to put the study abroad summer she spent on an archaeological dig in the Italian Alps behind her. Her dreams of being an archaeologist were shattered when her mentor\, Cyrille\, disappeared\, and her enigmatic boyfriend Giamma went dark\, but with this new case\, the past comes roaring back. \nTold in alternating timelines\, Artifacts follows young Lena as she falls in love with both archaeology and Giamma on the streets of Torino while her adult self pieces together what truly happened on the dig\, now a fully restored Roman villa with World Heritage status. The dichroic cup\, Lena discovers\, may have been taken from the very site she helped unearth. \nPowerful and exuberant\, Natalie Lemle’s Artifacts brings readers behind the museum glass and asks questions about cultural heritage and the historical preservation of our shared sense of humanity.

SUMMARY:Pasadena Heritage: Explore Historic Architecture in the Playhouse Village
DESCRIPTION:The Pasadena Playhouse Historic District includes approximately 34 buildings that tell the story of Pasadena’s eastward growth in the 1920s and 1930s\, as the city shifted from its agricultural roots into a center of tourism\, culture\, and design. This period of development brought a mix of architectural styles that still define the district today\, most notably Art Deco\, Spanish Colonial Revival\, and Mediterranean Revival. \nThis walking tour takes a closer look at how these styles came together during a moment of real growth and change in Pasadena. Along the way\, we’ll stop at landmarks like the Scottish Rite Cathedral\, the United Artists Theatre\, and the Warner Building\, along with other buildings that reflect the energy and optimism of the period. \nJoin Pasadena Heritage as they explore how architecture and development shaped this district\, looking at both the original vision for the area and how it continues to evolve today.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Dr. Darby Saxbe\, in conversation with Ken Bensinger\, discusses & signs DAD BRAIN
DESCRIPTION:When we talk about the transformative experience of birth and child-rearing\, we almost always focus on mothers. While biomedical research oversamples men\, the opposite is true when it comes to research on birth and parenting. In the past few decades\, studies have proliferated on how women’s bodies and brains change as they begin their families. Headlines and movie plotlines revolve around overworked moms—often accompanied by the image of inept dads muddling through a diaper change. The antiquated\, but persistent\, implication is that moms are “natural” parents\, instinctive and nurturing\, and dads are better left to the boardroom and golf course. With DAD BRAIN: The New Science of Fatherhood and How It Shapes Men’s Lives (Flatiron; June 9\, 2026)\, psychologist and researcher Darby Saxbe leverages 15 years of studying fathers to do a deep dive into the science behind fatherhood—and what she finds will upend the way we think about men as parents. \nInspired in part by her own hands-on\, solo father\, Saxbe started asking important questions: What if men are natural parents\, too? Does having a baby change men’s bodies and minds? What happens when fathers engage in child-rearing tasks? Saxbe shares hot-off-the-presses findings from her own laboratory studies\, from neuroimaging scans and hormone samples to father-child interactions. In writing DAD BRAIN\, she interviewed dozens of first-time fathers and traveled the world to connect with other scientists doing groundbreaking work. Full of fascinating stories and insights\, DAD BRAIN showcases the science and culture of fatherhood and celebrates dads who are leaning into parenting.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Merrill Joan Gerber discusses & signs Someone Should Know This Story: Selected Stories
DESCRIPTION:“‘Someone Should Know This Story’ is both the name of this book and the wish of my heart\,” writes Merrill Joan Gerber in the introduction to this retrospective collection of twenty-five stories written over a period of four decades\, many of which won awards and appeared in widely read periodicals such as The New Yorker\, The Atlantic\, Redbook\, and Mademoiselle. \nGerber takes her teacher Andrew Lytle’s advice to “follow the thread back into the labyrinth” of the heart and its secrets. Finding its starting place with the crises of everyday family life-its conflicts\, betrayals\, confinements\, and its devastating losses-she and her characters constantly reencounter themselves and the persistent yearning to “convey to others what we are” with grace and breathtaking honesty.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore:  C.L. Max Nikias discusses & signs American Trojan
DESCRIPTION:American Trojan is the captivating story of a refugee who lost everything and then rebuilt it all\, an immigrant who defied the odds and achieved the American Dream; a visionary technologist who transformed the University of Southern California into one of the nation’s most prestigious private research universities. \nAt a time when many universities have succumbed to ideology over truth\, under Nikias’s leadership\, USC retained its academic integrity in the face of high-stakes negotiations\, high-rolling donors\, and the profound challenges of modern leadership. \nHailing from a humble village on the island of Cyprus\, Nikias steeped in thousands of years of history as he grew up. But when the Turkish invasion of 1974 destroyed everything his family had built\, he came to America to see what the Land of Opportunity had to offer. \nUpon completion of his graduate engineering studies\, he embarked on an academic career that established him as a pioneer in digital signal analysis\, lead him to collaborate on military projects with the U.S. Navy\, and eventually led him to USC\, which would forever alter the trajectory of his career and life. \nAgainst this dramatic backdrop\, American Trojan offers candid insights into how Nikias’ bold vision transformed USC into one of America’s most elite universities. More than a personal story\, it is a blueprint for leadership\, offering insights into how Nikias and his team strategized to meet formidable challenges to USC. \nAn urgent examination of higher education’s current crisis\, American Trojan provides a roadmap for renewal\, offering specific recommendations for how universities can reclaim their true mission of transmitting knowledge and cultivating young minds.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Linda Codega\, discusses & signs Pasha the Storm
DESCRIPTION:Moby-Dick meets The Bone Shard Daughter in this swashbuckling queer fantasy adventure packed with piracy\, political intrigue\, and the eternal souls of the drowned\, for fans of The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi and Black Sun. \nAn exiled pirate queen hunts a killer whale on the high seas\, while caught between a power-hungry empress and a revolutionary conspiring to end her reign . . . \nPasha the Northern Storm was once the most infamous Meridian pirate who ever sailed the sister oceans. Now\, a decade into her exile\, Pasha’s afterlife is being held hostage by Atle\, an absurdly attractive noble who knows far too much about pirate magic–but not enough about sailing to realize how dangerous Pasha really is. \nMinister Atle Itaavar is duty-bound to serve the Kingdom of Garda\, but as Queen Thivaldís gathers support for her ambitions of empire\, Atle turns to treason to stop her. In order to destroy the Queen’s new necromantic navy\, Atle plans to steal the Queen’s flagship\, kidnap a washed-up pirate to sail it\, and track down a legendary killer whale to bring it down. \nBut the hunt for the great undying whale drags Pasha\, Atle\, and the crew of the Dog into a cosmic reckoning as they face threats from ghosts and gods alike–and the Queen of Garda is close behind.
