SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore:  Alyssa Villaire discusses The Glittering Edge
DESCRIPTION:Penny Emberly is caught in a magical feud in order to save her mother’s life – perfect for fans of Tracy Wolff and Maggie Stiefvater.\nRumors are the lifeblood of Idlewood\, Indiana. The locals whisper that the De Lucas are witches\, and that decades prior they cursed the wealthy Barrion family as revenge for a love gone tragically wrong: now\, if a Barrion falls in love with you\, you’ll die. If this isn’t reason enough for wallflower Penny Emberly to stay away from both families\, she doesn’t know what is. But when Penny’s mom is in an accident that leaves her on the brink of death\, Penny can’t ignore the rumors anymore–because the Barrion curse is real. And her mom is its latest victim.\nIn order to save her mom’s life\, Penny must bring together two bitter enemies on either side of the feud and work with them to break the curse. For star quarterback Corey Barrion\, doing so would mean finally saving his family from the magic that killed his mom. And for misfit witch Alonso De Luca\, it would mean convincing everyone in Idlewood–especially Penny–that he isn’t the villain they believe him to be.\nBut as the trio navigates Alonso’s unpredictable magic\, the tangled web of Barrion-De Luca history\, and an increasingly chaotic group chat\, it soon becomes clear that the curse is not what they expected. Did a De Luca really curse the Barrions in a fit of jealousy\, or is something even more sinister afoot? Penny will have to conquer her anxiety\, wrestle with her budding feelings for Alonso\, and delve into dangerous\, forbidden magic to find the truth and save her mom — even if it means putting her own life at risk.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Kobina Commeh reads from & signs Kwesi & Nana Ruby Learn to Swim
DESCRIPTION:“A wonderful story to show how it is possible to overcome our fears of doing something new by accepting help from others” — School Library Journal\, starred review \nKwesi doesn’t know how to swim… and discovers his grandmother doesn’t either! Can they conquer their fear of water together with the help of the West African legend Mami Wata? \n“How about we make a deal?” Nana rubbed Kwesi’s head. “I will learn to swim\, if you do.” \n“Deal!” \nKwesi likes spending time at the lake with his friends\, except there’s one tiny problem… he can’t swim. But guess what? Neither can Nana Ruby! When she comes over for dinner one night\, she tells Kwesi about when she moved from Ghana to the US and the history of segregation that kept her out of pools and caused a fear of water among many Black people. \n“So I will never learn how to swim?” Kwesi asks. But Nana Ruby tells him they will call on the strength of Mami Wata\, the sea creature of West African legend\, to conquer their fears together. This touching intergenerational story teaches the importance of naming\, acknowledging and facing fears.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Chris Santiago reads from and signs Small Wars Manual: Poems
DESCRIPTION:“Small Wars Manual is a masterpiece\, one of those books I read and know at once I’ll be coming back to the rest of my life.”–Kaveh Akbar\, author of Martyr! \nFrom award-winning poet Chris Santiago\, a far-reaching collection of erasures and original poems examining the long shadow of American militarism and imperialism. \nStemming in part from a disturbingly mundane military document of the same name\, Small Wars Manual is a how-to for imperialism that critically dismantles itself with each passing line\, “a pidgin // containing elements // of animus and // insubordination.” In its wake\, the very boundaries of oppression and resistance\, art and justice\, and power and truth exploded. \nHighly conceptual yet gut-wrenching\, this meticulous and visionary masterpiece of erasure poetry and other forms sinks into the cold mechanics of American warfare in the Philippines and Vietnam to reveal a brutal rhetoric. In more autobiographical sections\, Chris Santiago’s own Filipino immigrant background reveals hard-lived experiences\, where “stars can guide // either bayonets // or refugees” and “even small wars waged // on the living room floor” cause trepidation and harm. \nThis righteous collection redeems the vulnerable from the aggressors–empire\, army\, their systems and tools–and transforms everything in the process. In the hands of Santiago\, the deconstructive becomes the eviscerating\, condemning all wars that upend countries and mark generations. Here are shining poems that make shelter of chaos\, by one of the most skillful and intrepid poets writing today.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Mariah Blake discusses & signs They Poisoned the World: Life and Death in the Age of Forever Chemicals
DESCRIPTION:A landmark investigation of the chemical industry’s decades-long campaign to hide the dangers of forever chemicals\, told through the story of a small town on the frontlines of an epic public health crisis \nIn 2014\, after losing several friends and relatives to cancer\, an unassuming insurance underwriter in Hoosick Falls\, New York\, began to suspect that the local water supply was polluted. When he tested his tap water\, he discovered dangerous levels of forever chemicals. This set off a chain of events that led to 100 million Americans learning their drinking water was tainted. Although the discovery came as a shock to most\, the U.S. government and the manufacturers of these toxic chemicals–used in everything from lipstick and cookware to children’s clothing–had known about their hazards for decades. \nIn They Poisoned the World\, investigative journalist Mariah Blake tells the astonishing story of this cover-up\, tracing its roots back to the Manhattan Project and through the postwar years\, as industry scientists discovered that these chemicals refused to break down and were saturating the blood of virtually every human being. By the 1980s\, manufacturers were secretly testing their workers and finding links to birth defects\, cancer\, and other serious diseases. At every step\, the industry’s deceptions were aided by our government’s appallingly lax regulatory system–a system that has made us all guinea pigs in a vast\, uncontrolled chemistry experiment. \nDrawing on years of on-the-ground reporting and tens of thousands of documents\, Blake interweaves the secret history of forever chemicals with the moving story of how a lone village took on the chemical giants–and won. From the beloved local doctor to the young mother who took her fight all the way to the nation’s capital\, citizen activists in Hoosick Falls and beyond have ignited the most powerful grassroots environmental movement since Silent Spring. \nHumane and revelatory\, this book will provoke outrage–and hopefully inspire the change we need to protect the health of every American for generations to come. \nMariah Blake is an investigative journalist whose writing has appeared in The Atlantic\, Mother Jones\, The New Republic\, and other publications. She was a Murrey Marder Nieman Fellow in Watchdog Journalism at Harvard University.

SUMMARY:Pasadena Playhouse: A Doll's House Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Nora’s back—15 years after walking out on her family—is ready to confront the fallout of her iconic escape. Bold\, satisfying\, and packed with razor-sharp twists\, Lucas Hnath’s Tony-nominated play dives into the messy reality of what it means to be a woman living on your terms. It’s complicated. It’s witty. And it’s happening at Pasadena Playhouse. Get your tickets for A Doll’s House\, Part 2\, and don’t miss this audacious sequel 146 years after Ibsen’s classic. \n“WAIT\, I DON’T THINK I SAW A DOLL’S HOUSE\, PART 1…” \nA Doll’s House\, Part 2 (2017) is a “sequel” to one of the most influential plays in the history of theater – Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House (1879). The good news is that you do not need to have seen the original to enjoy Part 2. All you need to know is that at the end of Ibsen’s play\, Nora\, a mother and wife\, walks out on her husband and three young children. Slamming the door behind her—a moment frequently referred to as the slam heard around the world—she made a dramatic exit that shocked audiences and shook the foundations of 19th-century theatre.
