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:  Jennifer Keishin Armstrong discusses & signs Parks and Rec
DESCRIPTION:From the New York Times bestselling author of Seinfeldia\, the definitive story of the creation and legacy of Parks and Recreation\, with exclusive interview content from its cast\, crew\, and creators\, as well as an introduction by Nick Offerman \nMore than fifteen years after Parks and Recreation premiered\, it has become a streaming and pop culture staple. It’s beloved for its jokes\, characters\, and expressions–the show even created a now widely observed holiday\, Galentine’s Day. How did it all happen and how did the show transform from a ratings disappointment into a cult classic? Pop culture historian Jennifer Keishin Armstrong reveals all this and more in the definitive history of the show\, which is as full of humor\, optimism\, and heart as Parks and Recreation itself. \nThrough new and exclusive interviews\, as well as deep insight and smart and entertaining pop culture analysis\, Armstrong tells the story of how Parks and Recreation came to be: how it grew from The Office’s success and Obama-inspired optimism\, how producers assembled one of TV’s most lovable casts but barely survived a mediocre first season\, how the show found its voice by getting more political and more romantic\, and how it became a cultural force despite middling ratings during its network run\, going on to become a television savior of the Trump era and a modern classic. \nLovingly told and deeply researched\, Parks and Rec is the ultimate history of the show that taught us what’s important in life: friends\, waffles\, and work.

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:  Lisa See discusses & signs Daughters of the Sun and Moon
DESCRIPTION:Beloved New York Times bestselling author Lisa See draws on the vibrancy and turmoil of post-Civil War Los Angeles to tell the story of three Chinese women who managed to survive and\, eventually\, thrive\, despite all odds. \nIn 1870\, three Chinese women arrived in the small\, dusty\, and violent pueblo of Los Angeles. Dove\, the bound-footed daughter of an imperial scholar\, is entrancing and innocent. These characteristics should bring her great rewards\, beginning with her arranged marriage to a much older merchant. Petal\, the big-footed daughter of peasants\, has grown up hungry and with dirt between her toes. In a moment of desperation\, Petal’s father sells her to buy money for rice seed\, and she is loaded onto a ship to the Gold Mountain–America–where she is once again sold. Moon is married to a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. She is educated\, speaks fluent English\, and has been endowed with a face of great beauty\, yet her failed footbinding as a child has left her with a limp that lessens her value in the eyes of many. \nEach woman has her own desires. Dove wants to love and be loved\, Petal desires freedom\, and Moon seeks justice. Together they face a larger society that wishes them not one ounce of goodwill. Anti-Chinese sentiment is strong in Los Angeles\, and this eventually leads to the Night of Horrors\, during which all three women are challenged in ways they could not have imagined. Brought together by hardship and heartbreak\, they must use their bravery\, endurance\, and ability to “eat bitterness” to discover their voices\, find freedom\, and connect through solace and friendship. Together\, they are daughters of the sun and moon.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore:  James Ellroy discusses & signs Red Sheet
DESCRIPTION:It’s late October 1962. The Cuban Missile Crisis has just concluded. The Russkies blinked and pulled their ICBMs out of Cuba. Attorney General Robert Kennedy fears reprisals from seething commies. He orders a red probe and puts the LAPD on the job. \nFreddy Otash is injudiciously named the lead investigating officer. He’s a stone-cold criminal with police sanction and a harrowing dope habit. He homes in on a red-front trade union. There’s a murder on Halloween night. It may link to ex-VP and current gubernatorial candidate Richard Nixon and two commie snuffs from eight years back. Freddy’s overworked and overamped. He’s running the probe\, and Bob Haldeman and John Ehrlichman—Tricky Dick Nixon’s head goons—have hired him to keep Nixon away from the smear-minded press. \nL.A. is coming unglued. Ex-cop/lawyer Tom Bradley is running for a city council seat and pushing the Rumford Fair Housing Act. Playboy kingpin Hugh Hefner is along for the ride\, out to exploit racial tension and peddle untold copies of his smut rag. \nRed Sheet is James Ellroy’s most crazed kamikaze run and a daring\, subversive work of fiction.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore:  Shay Kauwe\, in conversation with Keala Kendall\, discusses & signs The Killing Spell
DESCRIPTION:In this spellbinding fantasy debut set in a future where language magic reigns\, a young Hawaiian woman must solve a murder to clear her name. \nKea Petrova is dealing with more than her fair share of trouble. \nAt just twenty-five years old\, she’s the youngest of five Hawaiian clan leaders living on the Homestead in outer Los Angeles. Nearly 200 years ago\, when a catastrophic flood submerged the Hawaiian islands and unleashed magic into the world\, these clans forged a treaty with the city\, establishing a new Hawaiian homeland. But that treaty is about to expire. \nKea struggles to keep her small clan afloat\, scraping together rent each month through odd jobs and selling her own crafted Hawaiian language spells. While her talent for language magic is her saving grace\, she feels like a shadow of those who came before her. Just when she thinks things can’t get any more complicated\, the murder of Angelo Reyes–LA’s most prominent Filipino activist–turns her world upside-down. \nAngelo was killed by a death spell–something that\, due to the properties of each school of language magic\, can only exist in Hawaiian. With independent spellsmithing being technically illegal\, Kea quickly becomes the prime suspect\, known for her spellwork on the Homestead. To clear her name\, she must unravel the mystery behind Angelo’s murder and confront LA’s most powerful (and dangerous) players\, each wielding their own type of magic. The clock is ticking–can Kea save herself\, her clan\, and the Homestead before it’s too late?

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore:  Laura Lekkos discusses & signs All the Little Ways
DESCRIPTION:In the vein of Pineapple Street and Such a Fun Age\, a smart\, heartfelt debut novel about two expecting mothers navigating motherhood\, family life\, and female friendship\, whose bond is threatened by a shocking revelation. \nVictoria and Liz barely breathe the same air\, but they collide headfirst when they meet in a group for expectant mothers and find common ground against all odds. \nVictoria\, forty-three\, is confident\, poised\, and powerful\, on the fast track to major career success in finance. Having kids is not in the plan. She had avoided love for decades–and hadn’t been too keen on female friendship either–when she fell for Ace\, a dashing man twenty years her senior. \nLiz\, thirty-two\, lives a fairly unstable life\, trying to make her situationship work and navigate a job on a vile reality dating show. She’s desperately wanted to experience motherhood for her entire life\, but anxiety and insecurity have landed her with a laundry list of failed romances. It’s an accident–ish–when she gets pregnant with her emotionally elusive boyfriend Preston’s baby just shy of a year into dating. \nWhen Liz and Victoria meet in a parenting class\, they both feel out of place amongst these pregnant women who seem to have it all figured out. They roll their eyes at the classic sign-off peppering the new mommy group chat: TIA (thanks in advance!). Alienated from these other women and due within a week of each other\, Victoria and Liz’s bond becomes a lifeline as they navigate their pregnancies and relationships. They grapple with impending motherhood together and lean on each other to navigate important decisions about family\, career\, and love. It’s the first successful female friendship in Victoria’s life and the first time Liz has felt so connected to an older\, wiser confidante. Maybe\, just maybe\, it will all be okay. \nBut as they grow more secure in their futures with each other’s support\, the friends confront a shocking turn of events that will change the course of both their lives. Victoria and Liz then must reckon with their relationships\, their impending journeys of motherhood\, and the strength of their own bond in this unforgettable work of women’s fiction.

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 Bookstoer: Reyna Grande discusses & signs Migrant Heart: Essay About Things I Can’t Forget
DESCRIPTION:An ambitious memoir in essays by beloved bestselling author Reyna Grande that illuminates the hidden cost of the American Dream and the complex journey of healing that follows survival. \nWhat is the true power of stories? Can they heal the jagged edges of a traumatic childhood? Is the cost of telling the story worth the price of the cure? \nReyna Grande has spent her career capturing the raw reality of life across borders. In this intricate and deeply intimate memoir-in-essays\, the author of the landmark memoirs The Distance Between Us and A Dream Called Home again turns her gaze inward to explore the scars left by migration and the ongoing work of stitching herself back together. \nWith her signature blend of sophistication and raw honesty\, Grande interrogates how living between two nations\, two languages\, and two identities has shaped the woman\, mother\, and writer she has become. Moving from the legacy of violence in her hometown of Iguala\, Mexico\, to a bittersweet family vacation in Europe spent reconciling her own impoverished past with her children’s world of abundance\, she uncovers startling truths about the nature of survival. \nWhether being racially profiled in the Arizona borderlands or finding unexpected wisdom from the slugs in her garden\, Grande unflinchingly asks: How do we bridge the gap between who we were and who we have become? How do we turn pain into power? When memory threatens to define us\, how can we use story to heal while still honoring our boundaries? \nMigrant Heart is a powerful testament to Grande’s role as a storyteller and cultural witness. It expands our understanding of life in the United States and the complex people who cross and live within its borders. It is an essential read for the seekers\, the dreamers\, and anyone who believes in the enduring\, transformative power of finding one’s voice.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: CJ Leede & Kyle Kouri\, in conversation with Chuck Tingle & Liz Kerin\, discuss & sign Headlights & The Problem Drinker
DESCRIPTION:Special Agent Daniel Stansfield is ready for a change. Burnt out and defeated by the job\, it’s his last day with the FBI. But before he can turn in his badge\, he’s summoned back to Denver\, the city he ran from four years ago\, with a chilling message: it’s happening again. \nSeemingly innocent people are waking up on the side of the highway\, with no memory of how they got there\, wearing the skin of victims they’ve allegedly never met. And they each share one haunting detail: a strand of a stranger’s hair is tied around their tongue. \nNow Daniel is pulled back into the gruesome cycle\, and every clue leads him deeper into the shadows of his own past. He will have to confront the ghosts of his traumatic childhood and face what’s been hunting him all along— before he and the people he loves become the next victims. \nAbout The Problem Drinker \nHis girlfriend is horror famous\, his own writing and acting is floundering\, and he is drinking to make sense of it all. \nKyle Kouri’s debut non-fiction collection is full of ‘whiskey courage’ staring at the abyss of family\, writing rejection\, relationships\, and his own drinking. From hijinks at AWP to hustling in the movie business\, Kouri bridges the gap in drama between indie and horror. \nAt turns hilarious and heartbreaking\, The Problem Drinker is the story of an artist living with another artist\, yearning to move the needle in his career\, amidst a sea of personal tragedies and comedies. If F. Scott Fitzgerald had one foot in the 2020s horror scene\, that’s the spirit of Kouri’s caustic and big-hearted\, lush and refreshingly candid debut.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Kerri Schlottman\, discusses & signs Daytime Moon
DESCRIPTION:Isa has a gift. Premonitions\, intuitive insight\, a knack for tarot. But she is adrift. \nYears ago\, she ran away from one coast to the other and never looked back\, but when her brother Cole unexpectedly shows up on her stoop\, she’s convinced that it’s time to go home. Back in the California desert\, Isa is swept up in her former life of late-night drag races by the Salton Sea\, beers with the locals\, and haunting reminders of the twin sister she lost and the mother she never got to meet. \nWhen Dane\, the man who raised them\, becomes terminally ill\, Isa is forced to confront everything she ran away from. In a posthumous letter\, his revelations ignite her fearless internal drive. Traveling up and down California highways\, through desert and forest\, roaring coastline and border towns\, Isa will follow the signs so delicately woven into the fabric of her life – a name\, a constellation\, a painting\, a gleam of recognition on the water’s surface. If she can piece them together\, she just might reunite the shattered remains of her beloved family. \nArtfully narrated\, Schlottman’s novel is an unforgettable journey through hidden stories\, the depths of women’s secrets\, the shimmering fluidity of memory\, and the magic of transmutation.
