SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore:  Daniel Brewer and Paul Paolilli read from & sign Pondering: A Story in Cinquains
DESCRIPTION:This lyrically written and gorgeously illustrated ode to ponds is crafted in a uniquely American poetic form called American cinquain. \nIn this glorious celebration of nature\, three girls walk an old trail in search of a hidden pond\, marveling at treasures they discover along the way–darting dragonflies\, croaking bullfrogs\, fluttering sycamore leaves\, and more. Written in a unique poetic form called American cinquain\, the story seamlessly weaves together an invitation to readers to immerse themselves in nature\, while also bringing attention to this endangered ecosystem. The info-packed pages at the end of the book include an overview of the pond ecosystem and the current threat to it\, as well as an exploration of the cinquain form.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: ; Tom Lin discusses & signs Babylon\, South Dakota
DESCRIPTION:From the author of the Carnegie Medal in Fiction winner The Thousand Crimes of Ming Tsu comes a tantalizing\, American West saga about a Chinese American family trying to survive on their Dakota farm as a powerful\, mysterious\, and morally dubious military secret shapes their lives. \n“Lin’s gossamer prose is patient and full of wonders.”– Ed Park\, author of Same Bed Different Dreams and An Oral History of Atlantis \nWhen Saul Keng Hsiu and his wife\, Mei Lee\, move from China to the United States to take possession of a 160-acre homestead bequeathed to them by a distant relative\, all they have are the possessions on their back\, some hidden gold\, and a pocketful of chrysanthemum seeds. After a rocky start and a long\, harsh winter\, the couple find themselves successfully raising chrysanthemums and livestock\, and soon after\, a daughter\, Mara. \nBut when representatives from the US Army Corps of Engineers buy an acre of the Hsiu’s farmland and begin building a missile silo\, the inexplicable starts to occur: Mara can commune with the animals on the farm\, Mei develops a hidden talent for augury\, and the chrysanthemums become impervious to everything. When the Hsius learn that the project on their farm is an effort to make America’s nuclear deterrent invulnerable\, they see firsthand the long arm of power and empire. \nIn the years and generations that follow\, increasingly impacted by the silo and its residue\, the Hsius experience strange\, wondrous\, and tragic events on their farm. An ambitious epic and an ode to the beauty and glory of our connection to the natural world\, Babylon\, South Dakota\, upends the idea of “strangers in a strange land” to become a classic American story. It is a daring novel about how choices reverberate across generations and asks us what we owe to one another.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Teo Rivera-Dundas discusses & signs Slow Guillotine (Zero Street Fiction)
DESCRIPTION:Slow Guillotine follows three broke weirdos whose collective desire to make and think about art is constantly interrupted by their art-industry-adjacent minimum-wage jobs. Throughout the novel\, the three friends’ day jobs in a failing independent bookstore\, a sterile gallery in downtown Manhattan\, and miscellaneous living rooms across the Long Island birthday-party-clown circuit interweave with their attempts to come to terms with their precarity\, gender-dysphoric embodiment\, and the floating dream of collective liberation. \nSpanning one year and told through an obsessive first-person present tense\, Slow Guillotine brings the bildungsroman structure through the autofictional looking glass\, questioning how “coming of age” could be feasible in a society of debtors\, wage laborers\, and renters.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore:  David Litt discusses & signs It’s Only Drowning: A Memoir
DESCRIPTION:A former Obama speechwriter moves to the Jersey Shore and learns to surf with the help of his brother-in-law: a tattooed\, truck-driving Joe Rogan superfan. \nDavid\, the Yale-educated writer with a fear of sharks\, and Matt\, the daredevil electrician with a shed full of surfboards\, had never been close. But as America’s crises piled up and David spiraled into existential dread\, he noticed that his brother-in-law was thriving. He began to suspect Matt’s favorite hobby had something to do with it. \nDavid started taking surf lessons. For months\, he wiped out on waves the height of daffodils. Yet\, after realizing that surfing could change him both in and out of the water\, he set an audacious goal: riding a big wave in Hawaii. He searched for an expert he could trust to guide and protect him–and when he couldn’t find one\, he asked Matt. Together\, they set out on a journey that spanned coasts\, and even continents\, before taking them to Oahu’s famously dangerous North Shore. \nIt’s Only Drowning is a laugh-out-loud love letter to surfing–and so much more. It’s an ode to embarking on adventures at any age. It’s a blueprint for becoming braver at a time when it takes courage just to read the news. Most of all\, it’s the story of an unlikely friendship\, one that crosses the fault lines of education\, ideology\, and culture tearing so many of us apart.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore:  William Loving\, in conversation with Ivy Pochoda\, discusses & signs Fells Point
DESCRIPTION:What begins as a personal journey of late-life reckoning becomes a noir-tinged meditation on memory\, mortality\, and the search for purpose. By turns darkly funny and melancholic\, Fells Point captures a soul—and a city—at a crossroads. \nDaniel Doyle Jr.\, a jaded\, middle-aged corporate communications flack in Baltimore\, is drifting through life under a literal death sentence: a congenital heart defect that could take him any day. Determined to reclaim some meaning\, he sets out to truly see and understand his city for the first time\, creating a “bucket list” of cultural landmarks\, lost institutions\, and personal haunts across Baltimore. But as he traverses the city’s past and present\, he realizes he’s being followed by a mysterious stranger who seems to appear wherever he goes. Is it paranoia\, coincidence\, or something more sinister? \nBio: \nWilliam Loving is the author of three novels\, including City of Angles\, Blue Earth River\, and his latest\, Fells Point. Before turning to fiction\, he worked as a journalist at the Los Angeles Times and the Minneapolis Star Tribune\, covering city life\, politics\, and culture. His fiction reflects a journalist’s sharp eye for character and place\, blending wit\, suspense\, and a deep connection to the cities that have shaped him. He lives in Pasadena\, California\, with his wife.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Jeremy Atherton discusses & signs Deep House: The Gayest Love Story Ever Told
DESCRIPTION:From the National Book Critics Circle Award-winning author of Gay Bar comes a rule-breaking\, sweat-soaked\, genre-busting story of outlaw love. \nNATIONAL BESTSELLER The New Yorker Best Books of 2025 Publishers Weekly Top 10 Books of the Year Time Out 10 Best Books of the Year NPR Books We Love 2025 \nIt’s 1996\, and Jeremy Atherton Lin has met the boy of his dreams–a mumbling\, starry-eyed Brit–just as\, amid a media frenzy\, US Congress prepares the Defense of Marriage Act\, denying same-sex couples federal rights including immigration. The pair steals away to remote forests and vast deserts\, London fashion shows and Berlin sex clubs\, dinner parties\, back alleys\, East Village hotel rooms\, and San Francisco dives. Finding no other way to stay together\, they shack up illicitly among unlikely allies in a “city of refuge.” \nWith Atherton Lin’s inimitable blend of tenderness and wicked humor\, Deep House moves through the couple’s string of rented apartments while unlocking doors to a lineage of gay men who have come before–smuggling a foreign partner through national checkpoints or going public to stand up for the right to get down in the privacy of their own homes. They include hapless criminals\, sexpot bartenders\, friars\, pirates\, government workers who subverted the system\, activists who went all the way to the Supreme Court\, and the celebrated artist Felix Gonzalez-Torres. \nFollowing Gay Bar–called “a rich tapestry” by Vanity Fair and “an absolute tour de force” by Maggie Nelson– Deep House juxtaposes whispered disclosures of undocumented domesticity with courtroom drama and political stunts to explore myriad forms of intimacy while questioning the mechanisms that legitimize love. Deep House is at once a historical kaleidoscope and the innermost tale of two boyfriends who made a home in the shadows of a turbulent civil rights battle. \nA Recommended Book in the Washington Post\, the New York Times Style Magazine\, Observer\, W Magazine\, NBC News\, E! Online\, Queerty\, Literary Hub\, Stylist\, & Dazed

SUMMARY:Pasadena Heritage: The Places In Between with Andy Romanoff
DESCRIPTION:Photographer and Writer\, Andy Romanoff presents The Places In Between\, an evening exploring travel\, memory\, landscape\, and the strange poetry of the American road. Through short films\, readings\, photographs\, and personal reflections\, Romanoff traces the sometimes overlooked spaces between destinations: the faded towns\, roadside encounters\, desert highways\, and fragments of memory that define the experience of travel in the American West. \nUsing photographs\, film\, and stories gathered over years on the road\, the presentation moves through U.S. Route 66\, the Loneliest Road\, the Sierra Nevada\, Silver City\, roadside bars\, and countless in between places typically seen through the windshield. Rather than focusing on destinations alone\, The Places In Between looks at the landscapes\, chance encounters\, and fleeting moments that shape how we think about travel and the places we call home. \nAt its heart\, the evening reflects on the idea that no matter how far the road stretches\, every journey eventually circles back home to Los Angeles.

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.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore:  Ray Morton discusses & signs King Kong: The History of a Movie
DESCRIPTION:The 1933 KING KONG was not just a terrifying monster movie. It was also an epic fairy tale\, a tragic love story\, and a landmark piece of cinema that introduced one of the most beloved characters in motion picture history-a universally recognizable cultural icon whose legacy encompasses a vast multimedia universe consisting of more than ten feature films as well as numerous television shows\, books\, comics\, toys\, collectibles\, and even a Broadway musical. \nIn this extensively revised and updated edition of a classic book first published two decades ago\, King Kong: The History of a Movie Icon is the definitive account of the most famous simian in pop-culture history. It spans the whole of the Eighth Wonder’s filmography\, chronicling in detail the making of every Kong movie beginning with the 1933 original and continuing through the giant gorilla’s Japanese adventures and the epic Dino De Laurentiis and Peter Jackson remakes before concluding with the most recent films that place the great ape within an ever-expanding “Monsterverse.” Author and Kongophile Ray Morton also offers entertaining looks at the character’s appearances in other media\, along with plenty of trivia and reflections on the franchise’s enduring appeal. Packed with photographs and based on extensive new research and exclusive interviews\, this is by far the most complete and comprehensive guide to all things Kong. \nIncluded here are: \nThe creation of the Kong character by Merian C. Cooper \nThe development\, production\, and release of the original 1933 film and its many successors \nThe Cartoon Kong: the giant gorilla’s animated incarnations. \nKong on the Stage: theatrical productions featuring the Eighth Wonder. \nKong on the Page: the many publications devoted to the great ape. \nThe Sons of Kong: Kong variants\, spoofs\, and rip-offs such as Mighty Joe Young\, Queen Kong\, and A*P*E*. \nThe Kongs that Never Were: Kong projects that never made it to the screen \nThe innumerable Kong-related products generated over the past century

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore:  Barry Lyga discusses & signs Every Hunter is Hunted
DESCRIPTION:From the world of Barry Lyga’s New York Times bestselling I Hunt Killers trilogy comes a thrilling adult mystery about the hunt for a monstrous serial killer. \nBrides are being murdered on their wedding nights. Soaked in blood and draped in lace. With nothing left behind to help them find the killer\, the FBI is at an impasse. Their only\, desperate hope is to convince Jasper Dent\, the son of two serial killers and a former teen prodigy at hunting down such monsters\, to emerge from his self-imposed exile. \nWhen he was a teenager\, both of Jasper’s parents were members of a secret society of serial killers. Today\, his father is in prison\, and his mother is in a coma\, both results of their final confrontation with Jasper years ago. Now wealthy from a bestselling memoir about his parents\, Jasper still carries the scars from their parenting–and the uncanny\, unwanted ability to understand killers that they instilled in him. \nJasper wants nothing more than to hide from his past – cash his royalty checks and never think about murder and blood again. But he knows the only way to find any meaning or redemption in his life is to face his demons once again. His skills rusty\, his confidence shaken\, Jasper races against a ticking clock\, frantically seeking to solve the impossible mystery before more women meet a horrific end.
