Ready or not... | February 5, 2020

We're so excited to host Kiley Reid in conversation with Claire Lombardo tonight at 7 pm. The two authors will be discussing Reid's novel Such a Fun Age, which was a 2020 NAACP Image Award Finalist, an instant New York Times bestseller, chosen by Reese's Book Club and Hello Sunshine, a #1 Indie Next Pick, and a #1 LibraryReads Pick.

Kiley Reid earned her MFA from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, where she was awarded the Truman Capote Fellowship and taught undergraduate creative writing workshops with a focus on race and class. Her short stories have been featured in Ploughshares, December, New South, and Lumina. She lives in Philadelphia. Such a Fun Age is her debut novel.

Here are a few things you should know about tonight's event:

You can still buy a book at the event tonight!
If you took advantage of the pre-order discount, you can pick up your book at the event, or we'll be opening the doors at 3 pm.
We'll be recording tonight's conversation for the Authors on Tap podcast. It will be the same as a tradition book event, only we'll be recording what comes through the microphones. (And you'll have to be silent for 60 seconds so we can record the natural room noise. It's fun. Trust us.)

We planned this event as a soft opening, and we're so close... just weeks away! Here's a little peek at our new floors and ceiling. A little magical, don't you think? Can you imagine how magical it will be when we add the most important components? Books. And you.

Stop by tonight a be a part of the magic.
