SUMMARY:Nancy Pearl
DESCRIPTION:George and Lizzie have radically different understandings of what love and marriage should be. George grew up in a warm and loving family—his father an orthodontist\, his mother a stay-at-home mom—while Lizzie grew up as the only child of two famous psychologists\, who viewed her more as an in-house experiment than a child to love. \nOver the course of their marriage\, nothing has changed—George is happy; Lizzie remains…unfulfilled. When a shameful secret from Lizzie’s past resurfaces\, she’ll need to face her fears in order to accept the true nature of the relationship she and George have built over a decade together. \nWith pitch-perfect prose and compassion and humor to spare\, George and Lizzie is an intimate story of new and past loves\, the scars of childhood\, and an imperfect marriage at its defining moments. \nNancy Pearl is known as “America’s Librarian.” She speaks about the pleasures of reading at library conferences\, to literacy organizations and community groups throughout the world and comments on books regularly on KUOW FM in Seattle\, as well as KWGS in Tulsa\, Oklahoma and Wisconsin Public Radio. Born and raised in Detroit\, she received her master’s degree in library science in 1967 from the University of Michigan. She also received an MA in history from Oklahoma State University in 1977. Among her many honors and awards are the 2011 Librarian of the Year Award from Library Journal; and the 2011 Lifetime Achievement Award from the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association. She also hosts a monthly television show\, Book Lust with Nancy Pearl. She lives in Seattle with her husband.

SUMMARY:Robin Sloan Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Robin Sloan (bestselling author of Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore) celebrates the release of his new novel\, Sourdough. \n\nPraise for Robin Sloan \n“A real tour de force [and] a beautiful fable…The reader is swept along by Sloan’s enthusiasm.” ―George Saunders \n\n“A book about passion–for books\, for history\, for the future…There is nothing about Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore that I didn’t love.” ―Cory Doctorow \n\n“In a time when actual books are filling up tag-sale dollar boxes\, along with VHS tapes and old beepers\, Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore reminds us that there is an intimate\, adventurous joy in the palpable papery things called novels\, and in the warm little secret societies we used to call ‘bookstores.’ Robin Sloan’s novel is delightfully funny\, provocative\, deft\, and even thrilling. And for reasons more than just nostalgia\, I could not stop turning these actual pages.” ―John Hodgman \n\nAbout Sourdough \nLois Clary is a software engineer at General Dexterity\, a San Francisco robotics company with world-changing ambitions. She codes all day and collapses at night\, her human contact limited to the two brothers who run the neighborhood hole-in-the-wall from which she orders dinner every evening. Then\, disaster! Visa issues. The brothers close up shop\, and fast. But they have one last delivery for Lois: their culture\, the sourdough starter used to bake their bread. She must keep it alive\, they tell her―feed it daily\, play it music\, and learn to bake with it. \n  \nLois is no baker\, but she could use a roommate\, even if it is a needy colony of microorganisms. Soon\, not only is she eating her own homemade bread\, she’s providing loaves daily to the General Dexterity cafeteria. The company chef urges her to take her product to the farmer’s market\, and a whole new world opens up. \n  \nWhen Lois comes before the jury that decides who sells what at Bay Area markets\, she encounters a close-knit club with no appetite for new members. But then\, an alternative emerges: a secret market that aims to fuse food and technology. But who are these people\, exactly? \n  \nLeavened by the same infectious intelligence that made Robin Sloan’s Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore such a sensation\, while taking on even more satisfying challenges\, Sourdough marks the triumphant return of a unique and beloved young writer.
