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.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Kaira Rouda discusses & signs We Were Never Friends
DESCRIPTION:Sisters? Forever. Friends? NEVER. Who knew a reunion weekend could be so deadly? \nMeet the sorority sisters of Theta Gamma Mu: \n\nRoxy Callahan Gentry\, the ruthless former sorority president and current hostess who has painstakingly choreographed every detail of this weekend–even matching the cocktails to her couture–to prove that she remains their undisputed queen\nAmelia Dell\, the widow drenched in old money and alcohol\, with her big pot-stirring spoon and uninvited boy-toy in tow\nJamie Vale\, the double-legacy pledge\, straight-A student with no sparkle\, now a top cardiologist with a picture-perfect family–and a well-guarded bad habit\nBeth Harrison\, the scholarship student who never quite fit in and was only admitted because her best friend Sunny insisted that the two were a package deal\nSunny Spencer\, the carefree and beloved friend to all\, or so it seemed–until she wasn’t\n\nThey’ve been summoned to Roxy’s luxurious Palm Springs vacation home to celebrate the engagement of her son to Beth’s daughter. But the refurbished 1920s estate is eerily reminiscent of the hotel where tragedy struck during Spring Break twenty-five years ago. Long-simmering tensions and shocking secrets begin bubbling to the surface like bodies–because while the weekend was supposed to be about celebrating the future\, it’s not so easy to bury the past… \nFor fans of Shari Lapena\, Mary Kubica\, and B. 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.

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.

I was hooked from the very first page.” — Marie Lu\, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Skyhunter \nThis dark academia fantasy follows a desperate girl at a cutthroat magical academy who faces a choice between life and death: become an assassin for the enchanted elite or watch her decaying body draw its last breath.

But her survival depends on a dangerous band of renegades: an impulsive assassin\, a brooding bombmaker\, and an alluring exile who might just spell her ruin. As Ana is drawn into a tangled web of secrets\, the line between villain and hero shatters–and Ana must decide which side is worth dying for.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Christine Platt discusses & signs Less Is Liberation: Finding Freedom from a Life of Overwhelm
DESCRIPTION:From lifestyle trailblazer and author of The Afrominimalist’s Guide To Living with Less\, a practical guide to move beyond decluttering your space and\, instead\, declutter your life. \nLess Is Liberation welcomes those who are tired and weary to embark upon a journey of self-discovery. This is an invitation to understand the interconnectedness of overwhelm and our overall well-being. \nFor years\, the constant pursuit of success silently wreaked havoc on Christine Platt’s happiness and health. While taking a personal pause\, Christine discovered how her limiting beliefs about selfishness led to self-abandonment and a life of overwhelm. So\, she decided to use the same intentional living strategy that helped her reduce overconsumption: choose less. \nWith the perfect balance of wit and wisdom\, Christine shares the necessities to come into alignment with Self and offers a roadmap for anyone ready to do the same. Less Is Liberation is more than a self-help guide; it is a call-to-action to tap into our most underutilized superpower: being intentional with our choices. \n\nWe do not have to have so many things–we can choose less.\nWe do not have to have so many obligations–we can choose less.\nWe do not have to have so many priorities–we can choose less.\nWe do not have to have so many relationships that feel transactional–we can choose less.\n\nWe must simply learn how to be intentional about honoring ourselves. \nLess Is Liberation is an invitation to pause and begin the beautiful work of choosing ourselves over the profit and pleasure of others. It invites us to let go of behaviors that hinder our growth. It is time to embrace less as a gateway to find freedom from our lives of overwhelm\, and a pathway to the life we want and deserve. Because we are not here for a life of doing. We are here for a life of being.

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:Pasadena Playhouse: Amadeus
DESCRIPTION:The stage is set at Pasadena Playhouse for a riveting\, white-hot rivalry between two composers: Antonio Salieri\, the court’s celebrated musician\, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart\, the vulgar prodigy whose brilliance threatens everything Salieri holds dear. Lavishly laced with biting wit\, this Tony and Oscar-winning masterpiece dives deep into ambition\, envy\, and the intoxicating cost of genius. Amadeus unfolds in a world where music ignites obsession and drama crescendos into legend.
