SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore:  Books Search Search for your next favorite book Search Rey M. Rodríguez\, in conversation with Obed Silva\, discusses & signs Todos Somos Sagrados/All Are Sacred
DESCRIPTION:Poet and attorney Rey M. Rodríguez releases his debut Todos Somos Sagrados/All Are Sacred\, a tribute to the women of Proyecto Pastoral in Boyle Heights\, Los Angeles. Readings followed by Q&A with professor Obed Silva. \n“A treatise in poetry about one of the most important stories of our time-the formation and work of Proyecto Pastoral in Boyle Heights\, Los Angeles. Violence\, drugs\, and death plagued these streets\, which in the 1990s and into the 2000s were the most gang-inflicted in the country. But mothers stood up for healing\, peace\, for saving the children. Projects arose to help youth but also the unhoused and migrants. People in need. God’s work. Powerful figures like Father Greg Boyle met the call. Here Rey M. Rodríguez uses poems to carry their voices\, stories\, pains\, and joys. In Spanish and English\, in any language\, it’s a work of art\, a work of action.” \n-Luis J. Rodríguez\, former Los Angeles Poet Laureate\, author of Always Running\, La Vida Loca\, Gang Days in L.A. and It Calls You Back: An Odyssey through Love\, Addiction\, Revolutions\, and Healing \nRey M. Rodríguez is a writer\, advocate\, and attorney. He lives in Pasadena\, California. He is working on a novel set in Mexico City. He attended the Yale Writers’ Workshop and Palabras de Pueblo workshop. He participated in Story Studio’s Novel in a Year Program. He received his MFA in fiction from the Institute of American Indian Arts in May 2026. His poetry is published in Huizache\, Anger is a Gift\, and Altadena Poetry Review. His interviews and book reviews can be found at La Bloga\, Chapter House’s Storyteller’s Corner\, Full Stop\, Pleiades Magazine\, and the Los Angeles Review. He is a graduate of Cornell\, Princeton\, and U.C. Berkeley Law School. His debut poetry collection\, Todos Somos Sagrados/All Are Sacred\, a tribute to the women of Proyecto Pastoral\, was published by El Martillo Press in May 2026. \nObed Silva was born in Chihuahua\, Mexico\, and immigrated to the United States as a toddler. After years in the gang lifestyle—which left him paralyzed from the waist down\, the result of a gunshot wound—he discovered the power of book learning\, earned a master’s degree in medieval literature\, and is now a respected English professor at East Los Angeles College. The Death of My Father the Pope (MCD/FSG) debuted in 2021\, and his follow-up memoir In the Hands of My Mother: A Tale of Love and Redemption (MCD/FSG) is slated for release in 2027.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Joss Richard discusses & signs Let’s Kiss & Tell
DESCRIPTION:A sex columnist and a news reporter realize a fake relationship can help them both professionally and personally—but they aren’t prepared for the real feelings that start to develop beyond the headlines—from the bestselling author of It’s Different This Time. \nLucy Reid is a sex columnist whose views on relationships aren’t exactly optimistic. She empowers readers to embrace their sexuality and challenge the idea that you need a partner to be happy—until her editor points out their audience is mostly coupled up . . . and maybe it’s time for something (or someone) new. To buy herself time\, Lucy impulsively claims she’s started a new relationship she can write about. Enter Marshall Oakley. \nMarshall is the new senior news writer at Lucy’s company. When they meet at a work event\, he reveals his ex of nine years is getting married\, and he needs a plus-one to keep his family off his back. They agree to fake date until the wedding—Lucy can write about finding “the one” before proving relationships don’t solve everything when they “break up”\, and Marshall gets a no-strings date to convince his friends\, family\, and ex he’s moved on. \nBut as they spend more time together\, the lines blur and each begins to reevaluate their views on love. As fear gives way to misunderstandings\, can they find the courage to rewrite their story with a happily ever after? \n  \nThis is a ticketed event at Pasadena Presbyterian Church. Tickets include one entry and one copy of Let’s Kiss & Tell to be handed out at check-in. \nA public book signing with Joss and Lyla will follow the presentation. \nQuestions? email promo@vromansbookstore.com or call us at (626)449-5320

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Olivie Blake discusses & signs Dreamland
DESCRIPTION:The headlines are calling it the “summer of exsanguination” in LA—girls are being murdered\, the Santa Ana winds are blowing a strange energy into the city\, and all signs point to fire season. \nMore pressing for Anya Morris\, though\, is the drudgery of living at home\, working part time at the family store\, and contending with her mother’s disdain for the acting career Anya knows she’s destined for but that feels more impossible by the day. \nIt’s in this suffocating late summer heat that Anya receives a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity\, an invitation to work for the de Witt family\, one of LA’s most influential film dynasties. Soon\, she’s spending her days and nights at their strange villa high in the Hollywood Hills\, where she meets Jude\, a recluse who is both the family’s heir apparent and its most closely guarded secret. \nThere’s a magnetism to Jude that Anya cannot resist\, despite warning signs that scream like sirens in the night. Because the villa holds generations of bloodstained history\, and an occult family curse may even live within its walls—or within Jude himself. \nIn this city\, everyone cuts a deal with the devil. When Anya comes face to face with a devil of her own\, she’ll learn just how far she’s willing to go to get everything she’s ever wanted. \nThis is a ticketed event at Pasadena Presbyterian Church. Tickets include one entry and one copy of Dreamland to be handed out at check-in. \nA public book signing will follow the presentation. \nQuestions? email promo@vromansbookstore.com or call

SUMMARY:Boston Court - Pericles
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with Play On Shakespeare\, one of Shakespeare’s most adventurous and least staged plays\, Pericles follows a young prince forced into exile after uncovering a deadly royal secret. What follows is a sweeping journey across oceans and kingdoms marked by storms\, shipwrecks\, separation\, survival\, and ultimately reunion. This re-conceptualization of Shakespeare’s Pericles in Ellen McLaughlin’s gorgeous translation embraces movement and music to tell a thrilling adventure tale that celebrates the power of love and the resilience of the human spirit. \n
