SUMMARY:Vroman's: Nicole LaPorte and Jeff Selingo discuss Guilty Admissions & Who Gets In and Why: A Year Inside College Admissions
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual event and will take place on Crowdcast. Please register for FREE ahead of time to save your spot. \nEVENT LINK: https://www.crowdcast.io/e/k9qs7ugk \nGuilty Admissions: The Bribes\, Favors\, and Phonies Behind the College Cheating Scandal weaves together the story of an unscrupulous college counselor named Rick Singer\, and how he preyed on the desperation of some of the country’s wealthiest families living in a world defined by fierce competition\, who function under constant pressure to get into the “right” schools\, starting with pre-school; non-stop fundraising and donation demands in the form of multi-million-dollar galas and private parties; and a community of deeply insecure parents who will do anything to get their kids into name-brand colleges in order to maintain their own A-list status.  Investigative reporter Nicole LaPorte lays bare the source of this insecurity–that in 2019\, no special “hook” in the form of legacy status\, athletic talent\, or financial giving can guarantee a child’s entrance into an elite school. The result is paranoia\, deception\, and true crimes at the peak of the American social pyramid. \nWith a glittering cast of Hollywood actors–including Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin–hedge fund CEOs\, sales executives\, and media titans\, Guilty Admissions is a soap-opera-slash-sneak-peek-behind-the-curtains at America’s richest social circles; an examination of the cutthroat world of college admissions; and a parable of American society in 2019\, when the country is run by a crass tycoon and all totems of status and achievement have become transactional and removed from traditions of ethical restraint.  A world where the rich get whatever they want\, however they want it. (Twelve) \nGetting into a top-ranked college has never seemed more impossible\, with acceptance rates at some elite universities dipping into the single digits. In Who Gets In and Why\, journalist and higher education expert Jeffrey Selingo dispels entrenched notions of how to compete and win at the admissions game\, and reveals that teenagers and parents have much to gain by broadening their notion of what qualifies as a “good college.” Hint: it’s not all about the sticker on the car window. \nSelingo\, who was embedded in three different admissions offices–a selective private university\, a leading liberal arts college\, and a flagship public campus–closely observed gatekeepers as they made their often agonizing and sometimes life-changing decisions. He also followed select students and their parents\, and he traveled around the country meeting with high school counselors\, marketers\, behind-the-scenes consultants\, and college rankers.  While many have long believed that admissions is merit-based\, rewarding the best students\, Who Gets In and Why presents a more complicated truth\, showing that “who gets in” is frequently more about the college’s agenda than the applicant. In a world where thousands of equally qualified students vie for a fixed number of spots at elite institutions\, admissions officers often make split-second decisions based on a variety of factors–like diversity\, money\, and\, ultimately\, whether a student will enroll if accepted. \nOne of the most insightful books ever about “getting in” and what higher education has become\, Who Gets In and Why not only provides an usually intimate look at how admissions decisions get made\, but guides prospective students on how to honestly assess their strengths and match with the schools that will best serve their interests.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Ioan Grillo discusses Blood Gun Money
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual event and will take place on Crowdcast. Please register for FREE ahead of time to save your spot. \nEVENT LINK: https://www.crowdcast.io/e/yc89s51l \nThe gun control debate is revived with every mass shooting. But far more people die from gun deaths on the street corners of inner city America and across the border as Mexico’s powerful cartels battle to control the drug trade. Guns and drugs aren’t often connected in our heated discussions of gun control–but they should be. In Ioan Grillo’s groundbreaking new work of investigative journalism\, he shows us this connection by following the market for guns in the Americas and how it has made the continent the most murderous on earth. \nGrillo travels to gun manufacturers\, strolls the aisles of gun shows and gun shops\, talks to FBI agents who have infiltrated biker gangs\, hangs out on Baltimore street corners\, and visits the ATF gun tracing center in West Virginia. Along the way\, he details the many ways that legal guns can cross over into the black market and into the hands of criminals\, fueling violence here and south of the border. Simple legislative measures would help close these loopholes\, but America’s powerful gun lobby is uncompromising in its defense of the hallowed Second Amendment. Perhaps\, however\, if guns were seen not as symbols of freedom\, but as key accessories in our epidemics of addiction\, the conversation would shift. Blood Gun Money is that conversation shifter. (Bloomsbury Publishing) \nIoan Grillo is a contributing writer at the New York Times specializing in crime and drugs. Based in Mexico City\, he has also worked for Time magazine\, the History Channel\, CNN\, Reuters\, the Associated Press\, and Esquire. He is the author of El Narco\, a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Award\, and Gangster Warlords\, a New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice and a Guardian Book of the Year.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Anne Lamott discusses Dusk Night Dawn: Notes on Courage
DESCRIPTION:Vroman’s\, Book Passage\, Kepler’s\, and Bookshop Santa Cruz welcome the bestselling author ANNE LAMOTT\, known for her beloved books like Operating Instructions\, Bird by Bird\, and Help\, Thanks\, Wow. \nAnne Lamott will be discussing her latest inspiring and candid book Dusk Night Dawn: Notes on Courage. Her conversation partner will be announced soon. \nTicketing: All tickets include a hardcover of Dusk Night Dawn\, which will be mailed to you after the event. Please allow 3-4 weeks for delivery.The first 150 people who purchase a ticket will receive a copy that is signed by Anne Lamott. \nPlease note: This event will be pre-recorded and live-streamed on Vroman’s Crowdcast. You will receive a link and password to attend the Crowdcast event on the afternoon of Friday\, February 26th. \nTicketholders will have the opportunity to submit their questions for the speakers through Eventbrite when you purchase your ticket. We will be accepting questions up to two days before the recording \nAbout the Author: Anne Lamott is the author of the New York Times bestsellers Almost Everything; Hallelujah Anyway; Small Victories; Stitches; Help\, Thanks\, Wow; Some Assembly Required; Grace (Eventually)\, Plan B; and Traveling Mercies\, as well as several novels. A past recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and an inductee to the California Hall of Fame\, she lives in Northern California. \nAbout the book: In Dusk Night Dawn\, Anne Lamott explores the tough questions that many of us grapple with. How can we recapture the confidence we once had as we stumble through the dark times that seem increasingly bleak? As bad news piles up—from climate crises to daily assaults on civility—how can we cope? Where\, she asks\, “do we start to our world and joy and hope and our faith in life itself back…with our sore feet\, hearing loss\, stiff fingers\, poor digestion\, stunned minds\, broken hearts?” \nWe begin\, Lamott says\, by accepting our flaws and embracing our humanity. \nDrawing from her own experiences\, Lamott shows us the intimate and human ways we can adopt to move through life’s dark places and toward the light of hope that still burns ahead for all of us. \nAs she does in Help\, Thanks\, Wow and her other bestselling books\, Lamott explores the thorny issues of life and faith by breaking them down into manageable\, human-sized questions for readers to ponder\, in the process showing us how we can amplify life’s small moments of joy by staying open to love and connection. As Lamott notes in Dusk Night Dawn\, “I got Medicare three days before I got hitched\, which sounds like something an old person might do\, which does not describe adorably ageless me.” Marrying for the first time with a grown son and a grandson\, Lamott explains that finding happiness with a partner isn’t a function of age or beauty but of outlook and perspective. \nFull of the honesty\, humor\, and humanity that have made Lamott beloved by millions of readers\, Dusk Night Dawn is classic Anne Lamott—thoughtful and comic\, warm and wise—and further proof that Lamott truly speaks to the better angels in all of us.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Luvvie Ajayi Jones\, in conversation with KevOnStage
DESCRIPTION:This virtual event is ticketed. (Scroll down to purchase tickets) \nLuvvie Ajayi Jones is known for her trademark wit\, warmth\, and perpetual truth-telling. But even she’s been challenged by the enemy of progress known as fear. She was once afraid to call herself a writer\, and nearly skipped out on doing a TED talk that changed her life because of imposter syndrome. As she shares in Professional Troublemaker\, she’s not alone. \nWe’re all afraid. We’re afraid of asking for what we want because we’re afraid of hearing no. We’re afraid of being different\, of being too much or not enough. We’re afraid of leaving behind the known for the unknown. But in order to do the things that will truly\, meaningfully change our lives\, we have to become professional troublemakers: people who are committed to not letting fear talk them out of the things they need to do or say to live free. \nWith humor and honesty\, and guided by the influence of her professional troublemaking Nigerian grandmother\, Funmilayo Faloyin\, Luvvie walks us through what we must get right within ourselves before we can do the things that scare us; how to use our voice for a greater good; and how to put movement to the voice we’ve been silencing–because truth-telling is a muscle. \nThe point is not to be fearless\, but to know we are afraid and charge forward regardless. It is to recognize that the things we must do are more significant than our fears. This book is about how to live boldly in spite of all the reasons we have to cower. Let’s go! (Penguin Life) \nThis event ticket includes a signed hardcover copy of Professional Troublemaker along with a “Judgey Pop”\, as well as online access to the event for your household. You will receive a link and password to attend the Crowdcast event on the afternoon of Tuesday\, March 2nd. \nQuestions? Email us at email@vromansbookstore.com

DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual event and will take place on Crowdcast. Register for FREE ahead of time to save your spot and get an email reminder! \nEVENT LINK: https://www.crowdcast.io/e/pvj6d73t \nJoin us for a double feature with authors Auriane Desombre and Monica Gomez-Hira presenting their new Young Adult books\, I Think I Love You and Once Upon a Quinceañera. Auriane and Monica will be in conversation with Rachel Lynn Solomon. \nAbout I Think I Love You\nArch-nemeses Emma\, a die-hard romantic\, and more-practical minded Sophia find themselves competing against one another for a coveted first-prize trip to a film festival in Los Angeles . . . what happens if their rivalry turns into a romance? For fans of Becky Albertalli’s Leah on the Offbeat\, full of laugh-out-loud humor and make-your-heart-melt moments. (Underlined) \nAbout Once Upon a Quinceañera\nCarmen Aguilar just wants to make her happily ever after come true. Except apparently “happily ever after” for Carmen involves being stuck in an unpaid summer internship. Now she has to perform as a party princess! In a ball gown. During the summer. In Miami. \nFine. Except that’s only the first misfortune in what’s turning out to a summer of Utter Disaster. \nBut if Carmen can manage dancing in the blistering heat\, fending off an oh-so-unfortunately attractive ex\, and stopping her spoiled cousin from ruining her own quinceañera–Carmen might just get that happily ever after–after all. (Harperteen) \nAuriane Desombre is the author of I Think I Love You\, and works as a middle school teacher and freelance editor. She holds an MA in English Literature and an MFA in Creative Writing for Children & Young Adults. She lives in Los Angeles with her dog\, Sammy\, who is a certified bad boy. \nMonica Gomez-Hira is the daughter of Colombian immigrant parents\, the wife of an Indian immigrant\, mother to a half Latina/half Indian daughter\, and the quintessential Jersey girl. After graduating from Wellesley College\, Monica spent most of her professional life surrounded by books. Once Upon a Quinceañera is her first novel. \nRachel Lynn Solomon writes\, tap dances\, and collects red lipstick in Seattle\, Washington. Her romance and YA novels include The Ex Talk\, Today Tonight Tomorrow\, and We Can’t Keep Meeting Like This (June 2021).After graduating from the University of Washington with a B.A. in journalism\, she worked for Northwest media outlets such as The Seattle Times and KUOW Public Radio.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Chip Jacobs in conversation with Ron Franscell
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual event and will take place on Crowdcast. Register for FREE ahead of time to save your spot and get an email reminder! \nEVENT LINK: https://www.crowdcast.io/e/qcrhyka8 \nLate-seventies Los Angeles was rampant with killers and shady characters\, but all the go-getters at Space Matters saw was possibility. Richard Kasparov was handsome and charismatic; his younger associate\, Jerry Schneiderman\, brilliant and nerdy. When the pair hired a veteran contractor to oversee construction\, the space planning firm they operated out of a hip mansion in LA’s Miracle Mile district appeared poised to transform the boundless skyline into their jackpot. \nAfter the promising team imploded\, however\, the orderly lines on their blueprints succumbed to treachery and secrets. To get even\, one of the ex-partners launched a murder-for-profit corporation using\, among other peculiar sorts\, a bantam-sized epileptic with a deadeye shot and a cross-dressing sidekick. The hapless criminals required a comical number of attempts to execute their first target. Once they did\, on a rainy night in the San Fernando Valley\, the surviving founder of Space Matters was thrown into a pressure cooker existence out of a Coen Brothers movie. Threatened for money he didn’t have\, he donned a disguise\, survived a heart-pounding encounter at the La Brea Tar Pits\, and relied on an ex-Israeli mercenary for protection. In the end\, he had to outfox a glowering murderer\, while asking if you can ever really know anyone in a town where dirty deals send men to their graves. \nIn The Darkest Glare\, Chip Jacobs recounts a spectacular\, noir-ish\, true-crime saga from one of the deadliest eras in American history. You’ll never gaze out windows into the dark again. (Rare Bid Books) \nChip Jacobs is a bestselling author and journalist. His books include the historical fiction & Los Angeles Times bestseller Arroyo\, and the biography Strange As It Seems: the Impossible Life of Gordon Zahler. He also co-wrote The People’s Republic of Chemicals\, and Smogtown: the Lung-Burning History of Pollution in Los Angeles with William J. Kelly. He has also contributed pieces to anthologies\, among them the bestselling Los Angeles in the 1970s: Weird Scenes Inside the Goldmine and Go Further: Literary Appreciation of Power Pop. On the journalism side\, Jacobs’ reporting has been published and aired in the Los Angeles Times\, Los Angeles Daily News\, CNN\, L.A Weekly\, the Southern California News Group\, the Pasadena Weekly\, and others. For his efforts\, he’s won seven Los Angeles Press Club/Southern California Journalism Awards\, as well as ones from the California Newspaper Publishers Association\, the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies and the Los Angeles Times.Jacobs grew up in northeast Pasadena and  he currently lives in Southern California. \nRon Franscell is a former journalist and the author of 17 books\, including the Edgar-nominated Morgue: A Life In Death\, international bestseller The Darkest Night\, and the true crime Alice & Gerald: A Homicidal Love Story. As a senior writer at the Denver Post\, he was dispatched to the Middle East just days after 9/11 to cover the earliest months of the War on Terror. He later covered the devastation of Hurricane Rita from inside the storm. His book reviews and essays have been widely published in many of America’s biggest and best newspapers. He has been a guest on CNN\, Fox News\, NPR\, the Today Show\, ABC News\, and other major broadcast outlets all over America. And he appears regularly on crime documentaries at Investigation Discovery\, History Channel\, Reelz\, and A&E. He now lives in northern New Mexico.
