Up and Coming

Our schedule is crammed to capacity over the next couple of weeks, with a slew of authors coming to visit! On Sunday May 17th (less than a week away!) Isabel Gillies will be here at 1 pm. What can we say about her book that has not already been said? Happens Every Day debuted on the NYT-bestseller list in the Top 10, and has been on the list for more than 4 weeks. It has been featured, well, everywhere! This moving memoir tells the story of how Isabel's husband abruptly left her and their two young children, and has been reviewed in Oprah's "O" Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Vogue, Parenting Magazine, Elle, Glamour, Entertainment Weekly, and People, among many other outlets. Isabel was interviewed on
the Today Show about her book, and Starbucks chose it as their Read of the Month. Several of our staff members have read and loved this book, as have quite a few customers.
Isabel has led a fascinating life, appearing on the cover of Seventeen Magazine as a teenager, briefy dating Mick Jagger, having a recurring role on Law & Order: SVU, and having (both) her marriages written up in the New York Times. Happens Every Day is a very real, vivid chapter of Isabel's life, which she tells to the reader with spunk and courage. Isabel's signing will wrap up our authors for the month of May.
In June, we have almost a dozen writers coming. Saturday June 6th, we have Jayanti Tamm coming, whose memoir, Cartwheels in a Sari: A Memoir of Growing Up Cult, was written up in Forbes magazine and given a 4 out of 4 star review in People. The same day, we have Gail Graham coming, who has had no less than 4 of her novels chosen to be featured as New York Times Book Recommendations. Then on Sunday, June 7th, at 2 pm, Allen Barra will appear to discuss his biography of Yogi Berra, Eternal Yankee. On Saturday June 13th, there will be a huge Hudson Celebration taking place, with 5 authors participating.
