SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Julie Tieu\, in conversation with Erin La Rosa\, discusses Girl Most Likely To
DESCRIPTION:A frenemies-to-lovers contemporary romance by Julie Tieu which takes place over the course of one make-or-break evening\, almost entirely at a high school reunion…. \n“For the rom-com fans\, you can never go wrong with a Julie Tieu book.”— Buzzfeed \nRachel Dang once voted “Most Likely to Succeed” in high school\, is unemployed for the first time. After years of doing everything her boss asked\, it’s time to say yes to new opportunities. So when she gets invited to her twentieth high school reunion by none other than her former frenemy\, Danny Phan\, Rachel agrees despite their unresolved past. \nAs a teenager\, Danny was seen as smart\, but unfocused. Teachers often paired him with Rachel\, hoping her work ethic would rub off on him. Though Danny and Rachel weren’t exactly friends\, she had seen a different side of him\, one that only existed online over intimate late-night AIM chats that never translated into real life. When they meet again\, Rachel discovers their roles have reversed. Danny is thriving in his career while she’s the one flailing. \nThe reunion takes an unexpected turn when a simple errand takes them into town for a night of mishaps and misadventures where they run into a colorful cast of characters from their childhood. Rachel and Danny soon rediscover the feelings they once shared and must decide if this is only a quick trip down memory lane or a second chance for their happily ever after. \nErin La Rosa is the author of The Backtrack\, Plot Twist\, For Butter or Worse\, Womanskills\, and The Big Redhead Book. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and four daughters (two human\, and two feline).

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore:  TICKETED - Patrick Renna signs A Little Slugger’s Guide to the Unwritten Rules of Baseball and Life
DESCRIPTION:Patrick Renna (The Sandlot) signs copies of his book A Little Slugger’s Guide to the Unwritten Rules of Baseball and Life.\nPatrick Renna\, best known for his role in the 1993 film The Sandlot\, offers baseball-themed anecdotes and affirmations. Heartfelt reminders that life’s a marathon\, not a sprint\, may be familiar\, but many young readers will find them revelatory. The author also stresses that failure is just as much a part of life as success\, encourages children to embrace individuality and work hard despite being the underdog\, and emphasizes that practice shows commitment and “prepares you for the big game or the test.” All these lessons will be relatable to young people\, and many are supported by real-life stories: basketball superstar Michael Jordan’s short-lived stint in minor league baseball\, an unexpected victory during Game One of the 2015 World Series\, and Renna’s willingness to swallow his fear when\, as a young teen\, he was handed a new script just an hour before shooting a pivotal scene inThe Sandlot. Each tidbit stands alone\, but taken together\, all 20 tenets provide a lively road map to life. The colorful spot art features images of diverse young baseball players\, plus some visually appealing double-page spreads filled with movement and action. White space is used thoughtfully\, allowing readers to reflect on how these words of wisdom might apply to them. A solid base hit\, with guidance on the great American pastime–and life itself. \nThis ticketed event is a book signing & photo op only and tickets include a copy of A Little Slugger’s Guide to the Unwritten Rules of Baseball and Life\, to be picked up at check in the day of the event. \nEvent Guidelines: \nPatrick Renna will be signing the book only\, no memorabilia. \nPhoto op pictures will be taken with your camera by a Vroman’s employee.plays \nQuestions?
