SUMMARY:Melissa Dassori & Caroline Gertler celebrate the publication of their new middle grade novels
DESCRIPTION:What if you could write your dreams into reality with the stroke of a pen?\nSixth grade is off to a difficult start for Josephine Rose Silver. Her best friend\, Violet\, returns from camp with a new best friend; her parents refuse to grant her more independence; and her homeroom teacher\, Ms. Kline\, is full of secrets. When Ms. Kline unveils a collection of old Gothamite magazines and tells her students to build their writing skills by crafting short stories inspired by the iconic covers\, J.R. discovers a peculiar power: The stories she writes come true. Soon J.R. is getting a cell phone\, scoring game-winning goals\, and triggering school cancellations. But it’s not long before she realizes that each new story creates as many conflicts as it does solutions. And when J.R. tries to write about her fallout with Violet\, all of her problems converge.\nWith a pinch of magic\, mystery\, art history\, and language arts woven into a journey of growth and self-confidence\, this promising debut is a heartfelt and satisfying tribute to the power of words. \n \nNolie’s sister\, Linden\, may be only fourteen months older than she is\, but suddenly that feels longer than it ever has before. Linden is growing up. She cuts short their Cousins Week at Grandma’s beach cottage to focus on excelling in her ballet auditions\, and she throws away the seashell necklace Grandma gave each of them—though Nolie secretly saves it. Even Nolie’s best friend\, Jessa\, is suddenly trying to act older and cooler\, and she wants Nolie to be someone different\, too.\n\nWith everything and everyone changing around her\, Nolie starts to feel adrift. Should she be changing\, too? Who does she want to be? One impulsive decision leads to another and another . . . until Nolie has a secret collection of things that don’t belong to her. Now\, Nolie must face the fact that she may have ended up on the wrong path so she can start to find her way back.

SUMMARY:David Koepp launches his new book Aurora
DESCRIPTION:In Aurora\, Illinois\, Aubrey Wheeler is just trying to get by after her semi-criminal ex-husband split\, leaving behind his unruly teenage son. \nThen the lights go out—not just in Aurora but across the globe. A solar storm has knocked out power almost everywhere. Suddenly\, all problems are local\, very local\, and Aubrey must assume the mantle of fierce protector of her suburban neighborhood. \nAcross the country lives Aubrey’s estranged brother\, Thom. A fantastically wealthy\, neurotically over-prepared Silicon Valley CEO\, he plans to ride out the crisis in a gilded desert bunker he built for maximum comfort and security. \nBut the complicated history between the siblings is far from over\, and what feels like the end of the world is just the beginning of several long-overdue reckonings—which not everyone will survive… \nAurora is suspenseful storytelling—both large scale and small—at its finest.

SUMMARY:Mark Goldsmith launches his book From Madison Avenue to Rikers Island
DESCRIPTION:Mark Goldsmith enjoyed a 35-year career in the cosmetic business\, managing household name brands during Madison Avenue’s Mad Men heyday. Looking for new challenges in retirement\, Goldsmith took his wife’s suggestion to volunteer for the Principal for a Day program\, specifically asking to be sent to the toughest New York City school available–which turned out to be Horizon Academy at the city’s infamous Rikers Island jail. Goldsmith instantly connected with the men of Rikers\, leveraging the skills he’d honed in decades of corporate experience and his strong desire to help. This passion ultimately led to the creation of his not-for-profit organization Getting Out and Staying Out (GOSO)\, which has helped thousands of young men pursue their goals for their education\, employment\, and emotional well-being to create a new life for themselves beyond the criminal justice system.

SUMMARY:Celebrate the re-publication of Wally the Wordworm with Anne Fadiman and illustrator Arnold Roth
DESCRIPTION:A worm who lives on words\, Wally finds himself starved for inspiration . . . until the day he slithers into a magical book: the dictionary. From this moment\, he embarks upon a logomaniacal odyssey of epic proportions\, munching on the likes of “eft” and “escalator\,” “ptarmigan” and “sesquipedalian.” From Wally the Wordworm’s first publication in 1964\, children and adults alike have been delighted by Wally’s wriggling through rhymes and words of increasing difficulty and complexity\, his acrobatics whimsically illustrated by The New Yorker cartoonist Arnold Roth. \nGenuinely fun to read aloud\, and complete with an afterword by Clifton Fadiman’s daughter\, Anne Fadiman\, Wally the Wordworm instills in young readers a love of words and language and an early appreciation for their vast possibilities.

SUMMARY:Sydney Stern Launches Her Latest Book The Brothers Mankiewicz
DESCRIPTION:Herman J. (1897-1953) and Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909-1993) wrote\, produced\, and directed over 150 pictures. With Orson Welles\, Herman wrote the screenplay for Citizen Kane and shared the picture’s only Academy Award. Joe earned the second pair of his four Oscars for writing and directing All About Eve\, which also won Best Picture. Despite triumphs as diverse as Monkey Business and Cleopatra and Pride of the Yankees and Guys and Dolls\, the witty\, intellectual brothers spent their Hollywood years deeply discontented and yearning for what they did not have–a career in New York theater. For this first dual portrait of the Mankiewicz brothers\, Sydney Ladensohn Stern draws on interviews\, letters\, diaries\, and other documents still in private hands to provide a uniquely intimate behind-the-scenes chronicle of the lives\, loves\, work\, and relationship between these complex men.

SUMMARY:Shirley Mueller launches her debut Inside the Head of a Collector
DESCRIPTION:Collecting objects gives enormous pleasure to approximately one third of the population\, providing such benefits as intellectual stimulation\, the thrill of the chase\, and leaving a legacy. On the other hand\, the same pursuit can engender pain; for example\, paying too much for an object\, unknowingly buying a fake\, or dealing with the frustrations of collection dispersal. Until recently\, there was no objective way to enhance the positive (pleasure) aspects of collecting and minimize the negative (pain). Now\, for the first time\, scientific research in neuro- and behavioral economics gives us a way to turn this around. The contents of this book are cutting edge\, unique and sure to get attention. Mueller breaks new ground in an area not previously explored. Her information is relevant not only for collectors\, but also for colleges\, and universities which teach collection management\, plus museum staff who interact with collectors and dealers of objects desired by collectors. Heavily illustrated with ceramics from Mueller’s collection and packed with useful information\, this book will become a required vital resource.

SUMMARY:Dr. Adrienne L. Simone\, Dr. Jaqueline Worth\, and Danielle Claro celebrate the launch of their New Rules of Pregnancy
DESCRIPTION:Picture this: a calm\, chill pregnancy book with the magical soothing powers of a yoga class. That’s the approach of The New Rules of Pregnancy. Here the experts guide you\, the modern pregnant woman\, through all aspects of pregnant life in an easy-to-digest\, compassionate\, and motivating way. Instead of a detailed week-by-week look at your baby’s development\, it’s all about you\, and how to help your pregnancy go as smoothly as possible. It assumes an intelligent\, busy reader (who\, somewhere inside\, is shouting\, “Just tell me what to do!”). Every aspect of pregnant life is covered—from the practical details (how to fly pregnant) to the complex issues (“What makes it postpartum depression?”). The book also covers that critical “fourth trimester”—“Nursing” and “How to Feel Like Yourself Again”—because once the baby is born\, self-care typically goes out the window\, and you really need someone to have your back. Its strong point of view and expertise come from gynecologist Adrienne Simone and obstetrician Jaqueline Worth—two renowned New York doctors dedicated to bringing patients the safest\, calmest\, least invasive pregnancies possible. The book’s voice—motivating\, supportive\, real—comes from Danielle Claro\, coauthor of The New Health Rules.\n\n“As caring as the physicians who wrote it\, The New Rules of Pregnancy contains all you need to know about the amazing sci-fi adventure that is having a baby. Wise\, beautiful\, and needed.”—Amy Poehler “A mindful\, intelligent guide—supportive\, concise\, and full of actionable advice. This is the pregnancy book I would give to my daughter.”—Frank Lipman\, MD

SUMMARY:Leonard Marcus launches his new book celebrating Children's Book Week Posters
DESCRIPTION:For families\, art lovers\, and history buffs alike\, Leonard S. Marcus’s visual history tour of 100 years of children’s book illustration gathers in one glorious volume the posters of the annual Children’s Book Week! \nFeaturing work from early luminaries such as N. C. Wyeth and Marcia Brown to more contemporary illustrators like David Wiesner\, Mary GrandPré\, Christian Robinson\, and Jillian Tamaki\, this beautiful collection showcases the conceptual and iconic images that have defined children’s books for generations of young readers. \nWhile the posters within these pages are linked in their resounding advocacy for young people’s literacy\, they are distinguished by the styles and mediums of their creators and by the historical\, social\, and cultural influences of their times. Renowned historian Leonard S. Marcus traces these developments in the children’s book field with incisive descriptions to accompany each poster.

SUMMARY:Louise Penny will be here signing copies of her new book Kingdom of the Blind from 5-7pm.
DESCRIPTION:When a peculiar letter arrives inviting Armand Gamache to an abandoned farmhouse\, the former head of the Sûreté du Québec discovers that a complete stranger has named him one of the executors of her will. Still on suspension\, and frankly curious\, Gamache accepts and soon learns that the other two executors are Myrna Landers\, the bookseller from Three Pines\, and a young builder. None of them had ever met the elderly woman.The will is so odd and includes bequests that are so wildly unlikely that Gamache and the others suspect the woman must have been delusional. But what if\, Gamache begins to ask himself\, she was perfectly sane? When a body is found\, the terms of the bizarre will suddenly seem less peculiar and far more menacing. But it isn’t the only menace Gamache is facing. The investigation into what happened six months ago—the events that led to his suspension—has dragged on\, into the dead of winter. And while most of the opioids he allowed to slip through his hands\, in order to bring down the cartels\, have been retrieved\, there is one devastating exception. Enough narcotic to kill thousands has disappeared into inner city Montreal. With the deadly drug about to hit the streets\, Gamache races for answers. As he uses increasingly audacious\, even desperate\, measures to retrieve the drug\, Armand Gamache begins to see his own blind spots. And the terrible things hiding there. \n\nPlease note that this will be a straight booksigning–no reading or presentation for this event. Kingdom of the Blind will be available for purchase the day of the event and attendees are encouraged to buy the book here. If you can’t make it between 5-7 pm\, please call us and we will reserve you a signed copy.

SUMMARY:Please join us to celebrate the launch of Jasper Johns with author Fiona Donovan from 7-8 pm.
DESCRIPTION:In the late 1970s\, after the artist’s explosive Pop Art beginnings and a period of abstraction\, representational objects made their way back into Jasper Johns’ work. Supported by the artist’s words and previous scholarship\, Jasper Johns is the first comprehensive study of his later paintings and works on paper. \nFiona Donovan helps contextualize images that have personal significance for Johns and explain a broader humanist discourse. Readers learn of his absorption with the appropriation and abstraction of images taken from Cézanne\, Grünewald\, Picasso\, and others\, and discover the inspiration Johns finds in his immediate surroundings. Progressing through several key phases and turning points in the artist’s career\, Donovan brings to light not only this subtext of inspirations and influences but also Johns’ circle of contemporaries\, collaborators\, and personal perceptions and obsessions. Johns’ compelling and enduring curiosity is omnipresent and reflected in his stylistic changes\, but the shifting themes\, motifs\, and moods of his work are all underpinned by his exceptional skill. \nThis publication offers a rare occasion to view and further understand a compellingly beautiful but elusive oeuvre.
