I'd Rather Be Reading Event
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 30TH, 2:00PM - 4:00PM
Location: Almas Shriner Temple (1315 K Street NW)
ABOUT THE EVENT:
Join authors Shauna Robinson, Eva Jurczyk, Sulari Gentill, and C.J. Carey on their Rather Be Reading tour, where they will discuss their books...written about books!
Each author’s recent release is connected to the world of books: from the story of a young editor trying to find her path in Must Loves Books, a bookseller starting an underground book club in The Banned Bookshop of Maggie Banks, a rare books librarian investigating the disappearance of a rare manuscript in The Department of Rare Books in Special Collections, the race to find a murderer in a group of unlikely friends at Boston Public Library in The Woman in the Library, to the dystopian story of a woman fighting Nazis while being forced to edit books to control the population in Widowland. After the discussion, the authors will sign copies of their books!
The conversation will be moderated by Elizabeth Mizelle. The authors will stay to sign books after the reading and Q&A session.
