SUMMARY:Vroman's: Richard Lui discusses Enough About Me: The Unexpected Power of Selflessness
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! Scroll down to purchase your copy of the book from Vroman’s. \nEVENT LINK: https://www.crowdcast.io/e/kvspvazt \nEnough About Me equips you with practical tools to find meaning and compassion in even the smallest of everyday choices. \nWhat if your path to a more successful\, healthy\, and satisfying life is actually not about you? \nWhen his father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease\, Richard Lui did something tough. The award-winning news anchor decided to set aside his growing career to care for family. Selflessness\, however\, did not come easily. So\, Richard set out to explore why he struggled. \nIn every decision\, big and small\, Lui discovered hidden opportunities to put others ahead of himself. Similar to training physical muscles\, we must train our decision-making muscles to choose others over ourselves in order to have unexpected smiles and renewed balance in our lives. \nFrom a journalist’s point of view\, he digs into and shares stories from his seven-year “selfless” exploration and ultimately shares how small choices toward selflessness are not a compromise\, but instead a way to a more satisfying life. Choice by choice\, step by step\, the path to a more satisfying and fulfilling journey is right here in the people around us. (Zondervan) \nRichard Lui has more than 30 years in television\, film\, technology\, and business. Currently working for MSNBC / NBC News and previously with CNN Worldwide\, he is a team Emmy and Peabody winning journalist. Richard’s 15-year business career involves a fintech patent and launching six tech brands over three business cycles.

Scroll down to purchase your copy of the book from Vroman’s. \nEVENT LINK: https://www.crowdcast.io/e/oj4vnpof \nHow the mighty have fallen. Anna K\, once the golden girl of Greenwich\, CT\, and New York City\, has been brought low by a scandalous sex tape and the tragic death of her first love\, Alexia Vronsky. At the beginning of the summer\, her father takes her to the other side of the world\, to connect with his family in South Korea and hide her away. Is Anna in exile? Or could this be her chance to figure out who she really is? \nBack in the U.S.\, Lolly has forgiven Steven for cheating on her\, and their relationship feels stronger than ever. But when Lolly meets a boy at her beloved theater camp\, she has to ask herself how well Steven will ever really know her. Meanwhile\, in Manhattan\, everything between Kimmie and her new boyfriend\, Dustin\, is easy–except when it comes to finally having sex. And Bea escapes to LA\, running away from her grief at her beloved cousin’s death\, until a beautiful stranger steals her heart. Is Bea ready to finally forgive Anna\, and let herself truly fall in love for the very first time? \nSet over the course of one unforgettable summer\, Jenny Lee’s Anna K Away is full of the risk\, joy\, heartbreak\, and adventure that mark the three months between the end of one school year and the beginning of the next. (Flatiron Books) \nJenny Lee is a television writer and producer who has worked on BET’s Boomerang\, IFC’s Brockmire\, Freeform’s Young & Hungry\, and the Disney Channel’s number-one-rated kids’ show\, Shake It Up. Jenny has previously published humor essay collections and middle-grade novels\, and Anna K. is her debut YA novel. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and 135-pound Newfoundland\, Gemma (and yes\, it’s a toss-up on who’s walking who every day). \nKatharine McGee is the New York Times bestselling author of the Thousandth Floor series. She studied English and French literature at Princeton and has an MBA from Stanford. She’s been speculating about American royalty since her undergraduate days\, when she wrote a thesis on “castle envy”: the idea that the American psyche is missing out on something\, because Americans don’t have a royal family of their own. Katharine lives with her husband in her hometown of Houston\, Texas.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Charles Seife discusses Hawking Hawking: The Selling of a Scientific Celebrity
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! Scroll down to purchase your copy of the book from Vroman’s. \nEVENT LINK: https://www.crowdcast.io/e/tzzkxy76 \nStephen Hawking was widely recognized as the world’s best physicist and even the most brilliant man alive-but what if his true talent was self-promotion? \nWhen Stephen Hawking died\, he was widely recognized as the world’s best physicist\, and even its smartest person. \nHe was neither. \nIn Hawking Hawking\, science journalist Charles Seife explores how Stephen Hawking came to be thought of as humanity’s greatest genius. Hawking spent his career grappling with deep questions in physics\, but his renown didn’t rest on his science. He was a master of self-promotion\, hosting parties for time travelers\, declaring victory over problems he had not solved\, and wooing billionaires. Confined to a wheelchair and physically dependent on a cadre of devotees\, Hawking still managed to captivate the people around him–and use them for his own purposes. \nA brilliant exposé and powerful biography\, Hawking Hawking uncovers the authentic Hawking buried underneath the fake. It is the story of a man whose brilliance in physics was matched by his genius for building his own myth. (Basic Books) \nCharles Seife is a professor of journalism at NYU’s Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute and has been writing about science and mathematics for nearly three decades. The author of numerous books\, including the bestselling Zero\, he lives in New York City.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Paolina Milana discusses Committed: A Memoir of Madness in the Family
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! Scroll down to purchase your copy of the book from Vroman’s. \nEVENT LINK: https://www.crowdcast.io/e/2x7s69da \nAfter a decade of caring for crazy and keeping her mother’s mental illness a secret from the outside world\, twenty-year-old Paolina Milana longs for just one year free from the madness of her home. When she gets the chance to go to an out-of-state school\, she takes it\, but her family won’t leave her be. Letter after letter arrives\, constantly reminding her of the insanity rooted in her family tree. Even worse\, the voices in her own head whisper words she’s not sure are normal. “Please don’t make me be like Mamma\,” she prays to a God she’s not sure is listening. \nThe unexpected death of her father soon after she returns home leaves Paolina in shock–and in charge of her paranoid schizophrenic mother. But it isn’t until she is twenty-seven and her sister two years her junior explodes in a psychotic episode and\, just like Mamma\, is diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and must be committed\, that Paolina descends into her own despair\, nearly losing herself to the darkness. \nPoignant and impactful\, Committed is one woman’s story of resilience as she struggles to stay sane despite the madness that surrounds her. (She Writes Press) \nPublished author\, speaker\, podcaster\, and founder of Madness To Magic\, Paolina Milana’s mission is to share stories that celebrate the triumph of the human spirit and the power that lies within each of us to bring about change for the better. Her professional background includes telling other people’s stories\, first as a journalist and then as a PR and digital marketing executive in both corporate and non-profit environments. She currently serves as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) for children in foster care and as an empowerment coach\, using storytelling to help people reimagine their lives\, write their next chapters\, and become the heroes of their own journeys. Paolina has won awards for her writing and creative campaigns\, including her first full-length book The S Word\, which received the National Indie Excellence Award. Her self-help picture book for adults Seriously! Are We There Yet?! will publish late 2020. Paolina is first-generation Sicilian\, married\, and lives on the edge of the Angeles National Forest in Southern California. \nBrenda Gazzar is a multilingual multimedia reporter who has worked for a variety of news outlets in California and in the Middle East since 2000. She has covered a range of issues\, including breaking news\, immigration\, law and order\, race\, religion and gender issues\, politics\, human interest stories and education.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Nicholas Schmidle\, in conversation with Buzz Bissinger
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! Scroll down to purchase your copy of the book from Vroman’s. \nEVENT LINK: https://www.crowdcast.io/e/s4tl8u4n \nIn the spirit of The Right Stuff\, updated for the 21st century\, Test Gods is an epic story about extreme bravery and sacrifice\, about the thin line between lunacy and genius. Most of all\, it is a story about the pursuit of meaning in our lives–and the fulfillment of our dreams. \nWorking from exclusive inside reporting\, New Yorker writer Nicholas Schmidle tells the remarkable story of the test pilots\, engineers\, and visionaries behind Virgin Galactic’s campaign to build a space tourism company. Schmidle follows a handful of characters–Mark Stucky\, Virgin’s lead test pilot; Richard Branson\, the eccentric billionaire funding the venture; Mike Moses\, the grounded\, unflappable president; Mike Alsbury\, the test pilot killed in a fatal crash; and others–through personal and professional dramas\, in pursuit of their collective goal: to make space tourism a reality. \nAlong the way\, Schmidle weaves his relationship with his father–a former fighter pilot and decorated war hero–into the tragedies and triumphs that Branson’s team confronts out in the Mojave desert as they design\, build\, and test-fly their private rocket ship. Gripping and novelistic\, Test Gods leads us\, through human drama\, into a previously unseen world–and beyond. (Henry Holt & Co.) \n“It’s hard to know where to begin: Test Gods is unique\, fascinating\, compulsively readable\, brilliantly reported with unprecedented access\, a kick-ass adventure story of the last of the great swashbucklers addicted to speed and altitude. It is a journey unlike any I have ever read\, as pulsating as it is poignant and personal. What makes a man routinely risk his life for a living umpteen miles above the clouds? What does he leave behind on earth? Cosmic questions that Schmidle answers with elegance and beauty and pace. Just strap yourself in and get ready for one helluva ride.”—Buzz Bissinger\, author of Friday Night Lights
