Join us in the lounge as we talk about new books--both fiction and non-fiction-- and introduce you to new authors. Everyone is welcome. If you enjoyed Booked for Lunch, you'll love our new Fireside Chat. Here's a sneak preview of some of the books we'll be introducing...
The Pecan Orchard: Journey of a Sharecropper's Daughter by Peggy Vonsherie Allen - In this simple, uplifting story, Allen tells of her childhood in an Alabama town, still emerging from "Jim Crow" attitudes in the 1960s and '70s. If you liked The Help by Kathryn Stockett and The Color of Water by James McBride, this one is sure to please.
Only in New York: An Exploration of the World's Most Fascinating, Frustrating, and Irrepressible City by Sam Roberts - The author draws upon his experience as Urban Affairs correspondent for the New York Times to create an anthology of forty essays about our unique city. Topics cover everything from the Son of Sam to the pooper scooper law in this humorous and elegantly written collection.
by Elise Lufkin, photographs by Diana Walker - The author and photographer of Found Dogs and Second Chances team up once again to present irresistable stories of "found" dogs (and one cat), who were rescued and went on to become highly trained working animals at disaster sites and for those humans needing assistance.
Enjoy hearing more about these and many other new titles at our first Fireside Chat.
