SUMMARY:Rhys Bowen - God Rest Ye\, Royal Gentlemen
DESCRIPTION:Book Passage Presents \nThurs.\, Oct 7\, 2021 • 1:00pm PT • Live • Online \nSigned Copies Available! \nBUY THE BOOK  WATCH HERE\nSUBSCRIBE TO OUR E-NEWSLETTER\nThis event will be broadcast live and does not require registration to attend. To view\, please click the “Watch Here” button at the time of the event\, or subscribe to our e-newsletter to receive a ten-minute reminder.\nGeorgie is back and hanging the stockings with care when a murder interrupts her Christmas cheer in this all-new installment in the New York Times bestselling Royal Spyness series from Rhys Bowen. \nGeorgie is excited for her first Christmas as a married woman in her lovely new home. She suggests to her dashing husband\, Darcy\, that they have a little house party\, but when Darcy receives a letter from his aunt Ermintrude\, there is an abrupt change in plans. She has moved to a house on the edge of the Sandringham estate\, near the royal family\, and wants to invite Darcy and his new bride for Christmas. Aunt Ermintrude hints that the queen would like Georgie nearby. Georgie had not known that Aunt Ermintrude was a former lady-in-waiting and close confidante of her royal highness. The letter is therefore almost a royal request\, so Georgie\, Darcy\, and their Christmas guests: Mummy\, Grandad\, Fig\, and Binky all head to Sandringham. \nGeorgie soon learns that the notorious Mrs. Simpson\, mistress to the Prince of Wales\, will also be in attendance. It is now crystal clear to Georgie that the Queen expects her to do a bit of spying. There is tension in the air from the get-go\, and when Georgie pays a visit to the queen\, she learns that there is more to her request than just some simple eavesdropping. There have been a couple of strange accidents at the estate recently. Two gentlemen of the royal household have died in mysterious circumstances and another has been shot by mistake during a hunt. Georgie begins to suspect that a member of the royal family is the real target but her investigation will put her new husband and love of her life\, Darcy\, in the crosshairs of a killer. \nRhys Bowen\, a New York Times bestselling author\, has been nominated for every major award in mystery writing\, including the Edgar®\, and has won many\, including both the Agatha and Anthony awards. She is also the author of the Molly Murphy Mysteries\, set in turn-of-the-century New York\, and the Constable Evans Mysteries\, set in Wales as well as two internationally bestselling stand alone novels. She was born in England and now divides her time between Northern California and Arizona.

SUMMARY:Everyone’s a Critic
DESCRIPTION:Whether it’s the role of take-downs\, accusations of smarm\, writers rebutting their reviews\, or the daily Twitter discourse\, the role of criticism in our culture is complex\, ever-changing\, and seemingly always up for debate. The tools of criticism are evolving\, too. Goodreads\, Substack\, and social media remove critics from an ivory tower and allow anyone to assume the mantle. New Yorker staff writer and former New York Times book critic Parul Seghal\, New York Times film critic A.O. Scott\, and novelist-cum-critic Brandon Taylor will discuss these topics as well as their own pursuits of critical honesty and excellence. Moderated by Electric Literature’s Executive Director Halimah Marcus. Their discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A. This event is part of Electric Lit’s Fall 2021 series\, presented by Mount Saint Mary’s University.

SUMMARY:Joshua Ferris - A Calling for Charlie Barnes
DESCRIPTION:Book Passage Presents \nThurs.\, October 7\, 2021 • 5:30pm PT • Live • Online \nBUY THE BOOK  WATCH HERE\nSUBSCRIBE TO OUR E-NEWSLETTER\n\nThis event will be broadcast live and does not require registration to attend. To view\, please click the “Watch Here” button at the time of the event\, or subscribe to our e-newsletter to receive a ten-minute reminder.\nFrom a National Book Award Finalist comes a novel about a modern American family and a man on a secret mission to uncover the world’s hidden truths—until his two lives come crashing together. \nSomeone is telling the story of the life of Charlie Barnes\, and it doesn’t appear to be going well. Too often divorced\, discontent with life’s compromises\, and in a house he hates\, this lifelong schemer and eternal romantic would like out of his present circumstances and into the American dream. But when the twin calamities of the Great Recession and a cancer scare come along to compound his troubles\, his dreams dwindle further\, and an infinite past full of forking paths quickly tapers to a black dot. \nThen\, against all odds\, something goes right for a change: Charlie is granted a second act. With help from his storyteller son\, he surveys the facts of his life and finds his true calling where he least expects it—in a sacrifice that redounds with selflessness and love—at last becoming the man his son always knew he could be. \nA Calling for Charlie Barnes is a profound and tender portrait of a man whose desperate need to be loved is his downfall\, and a brutally funny account of how that love is ultimately earned. \nJoshua Ferris is the author of three previous novels\, Then We Came to the End\, The Unnamed\, and To Rise Again at a Decent Hour\, and a collection of stories\, The Dinner Party. He was a finalist for the National Book Award\, winner of the Barnes and Noble Discover Award and the PEN/Hemingway Award\, and was named one of The New Yorker‘s “20 Under 40” writers in 2010. To Rise Again at a Decent Hour won the Dylan Thomas Prize and was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. His short stories have appeared in The New Yorker\, Granta\, and Best American Short Stories. He lives in New York.

SUMMARY:Gary Paulsen\, How to Train Your Dad
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz is delighted to welcome acclaimed and bestselling author Gary Paulsen for a virtual event celebrating his new middle grade novel\, How to Train Your Dad. \nRegister for this free Crowdcast event by clicking here!\nThe featured book will be published on October 5th and is available for preorder below. \nFrom the legendary author of Hatchet\, a laugh-out-loud eco-friendly adventure about a boy\, his free-thinking dad\, and the puppy-training pamphlet that turns their summer upside down. \nTwelve-year-old Carl is fed up with his father’s single-minded pursuit of an off-the-grid existence. His dad may be brilliant\, but dumpster-diving for food\, scouring through trash for salvageable junk\, and wearing clothes fully sourced from garage sales is getting old. Increasingly worried about what schoolmates and a certain girl at his new school might think of his circumstances–and encouraged by his off-kilter best friend–Carl adopts the principles set forth in a randomly discovered puppy-training pamphlet to “retrain” his dad’s mindset . . . a crackpot experiment that produces some very unintentional results. \nThis is a fierce and funny novel about family\, green-living\, and untangling some of the ties that bind from middle-grade master Gary Paulsen. \nGary Paulsen is the winner of the ALA Margaret Edwards Award for his contribution to young adult literature\, and is a three-time Newbery Honor winner\, for Hatchet\, Dogsong\, and The Winter Room. His books have sold more than 35 million copies. He lives in New Mexico.
