SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Taleen Voskuni discusses & signs Our Ex’s Wedding
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. But after a huge blow to her business\, she’s determined to redeem herself by taking on the biggest job of her career: a wedding for an indie movie star. 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. Though the real gut punch comes when Ani meets the happy couple–because the actress’s fiancée is none other than the woman who shattered her heart two years ago: her ex-girlfriend\, Kami.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Lost x Found: Keepsakes Reimagined
DESCRIPTION:Join Vroman’s Bookstore for an exhibit where special family keepsakes lost to the Los Angeles fires are reimagined by local designers and artists\, celebrating memory\, creativity\, and community healing. \nLost x Found: Keepsakes Reimagined is an exhibit of Project Keepsake\, which began in the aftermath of the devastating Los Angeles fires when loss felt overwhelming\, and the path to recovery was uncertain. It grew from a simple act of care into a year-long creative collaboration between local artists and families who lost cherished keepsakes in the fires. The project is led by local design leader Alvin Oei\, founder of CMD+Y\, a creative nonprofit that uses imagination to explore social and environmental issues while supporting local communities through art. Through illustration and storytelling\, artists and designers participating in Lost x Found worked closely with families to reimagine beloved objects such as toys\, mementos\, and symbols of comfort that were lost to the flames. What emerged was more than artwork. It became a way to honor emotional memory\, restore a sense of connection\, and acknowledge a part of disaster recovery that often goes unseen. \nThis exhibition brings those keepsakes to life digitally\, displayed in handcrafted fixtures that transform the space into an intimate gallery of resilience and remembrance. Families\, neighbors\, and the wider community are invited to gather\, reflect\, and celebrate the culmination of a year of volunteer-driven creativity. The event will also feature speakers sharing the journey of Lost x Found\, from its beginnings with Design for Disaster Response LA\, to a workshop with ArtCenter College of Design Designmatters\, to the co‑creative relationships that shaped each illustration. Entirely grassroots and built through collective generosity\, Lost x Found stands as a testament to what can grow when art\, empathy\, and community come together. \nFor more information and / or to participate in the project\, please contact Project Keepsake on their website.

SUMMARY:Cheeseburger Week
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate where it all began. Pasadena is the birthplace of the cheeseburger\, first served in 1924 by Lionel Sternberger at the historic Rite Spot. His now-legendary Aristocratic Burger changed American food culture forever. During Cheeseburger Week 2026\, running January 26–31\, Pasadena dines in honor of this iconic culinary moment with a citywide Cheeseburger Crawl. \nThis year’s celebration also marks two major milestones: the centennial anniversary of Route 66\, America’s Mother Road\, and the 150th anniversary of Colorado Boulevard\, Pasadena’s Main Street. For 2026\, Cheeseburger Week expands beyond the burger itself\, weaving in tributes to the road trips\, diners\, and local history that shaped Pasadena into the destination it is today.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: John Sayles discusses & signs Crucible
DESCRIPTION:Already the gateway for illegal Canadian liquor during Prohibition\, the Motor City becomes a crucible for American class conflict during the Great Depression\, with an army of laid off Ford workers drifting into the ranks of the burgeoning union movement — Henry Ford’s worst nightmare.  To keep the hundreds of thousands still employed by him in thrall\, the man who was formerly ‘America’s favorite tycoon’ recruits black laborers migrating from the deep South to serve as ‘strike insurance’\, and gives Harry Bennett\, pugnacious as he is diminutive\, free reign over the legion of barroom brawlers and ex-cons who make up the company’s ‘Security Department’. \nThe Model T mogul has also bought a sizable chunk of Brazil’s Amazonian rainforest\, vowing to grow his own rubber for tires\, but stubbornly refusing to include a botanist in his troop of would-be jungle tamers. As a series of biological plagues descend on the Fordlandia plantation\, the racial melting pot he has created in Detroit begins to boil over\, and not even the Sage of Dearborn can control the forces that have been unleashed. \nThe novel’s cast — Ford workers black and white and their families\, young radicals\, cynical newsmen\, gangsters\, Brazilian rubber tappers\, cameos from boxer Joe Louis and muralist Diego Rivera — create the tapestry of differing points of view that John Sayles has become famous for\, the events portrayed fundamental to the country we live in today.

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.

But the refurbished 1920s estate is eerily reminiscent of the hotel where tragedy struck during Spring Break twenty-five years ago.

A. Paris\, We Were Never Friends is an unputdownable\, riveting train wreck full of dark humor and bad behavior.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Christina Hammonds Reed discusses & signs The Johnson Four
DESCRIPTION:A 1960s teen pop group determined to conquer the music world must contend with the cost of fame–and a ghost with a grisly past–in this riveting family story from the New York Times bestselling author of The Black Kids. \nOdysseus Johnson dreams of musical stardom for his three sons: Roman\, the rebel\, more interested in being a teenager than a performer; Rocco\, arguably the most talented of the bunch but different in a way the world doesn’t understand; and dutiful River\, the youngest\, who dreams of fame just like his dad. \nDriving back from another failed audition in Detroit\, the Johnson boys encounter the ghost of Christmas Jones the Third\, an effervescent\, if lonely\, little Black boy who carries the scars of his horrific past as an orphan and minstrel sensation. Desperate for family\, Christmas begs the Johnsons to bring him home with them. When Odysseus refuses\, Christmas stows away in the family Cadillac. \nDespite their initial horror\, Christmas becomes a part of the Johnson family. With the promise of opportunities in California\, Odysseus moves the family out west\, and the boys’ talent starts getting noticed. But just as the brothers are finally on the cusp of fame\, Christmas commits a violent act that wreaks havoc on the Johnsons’ lives\, and the family is torn asunder in the aftermath. Roman flees the country. Rocco is institutionalized. River’s solo star rises. Christmas disappears. \nSpanning decades\, roving from the rapacious music industry and the ravages of Vietnam to the dark corridors of a mental institution and the very planes of the afterlife\, The Johnson Four is epic in scope. And at its beating heart is the unforgettable story of a family trying to find their way back to one another.
