BookPeople Events! Click "Read More" for more days in Aug and Sept.Saturday 29 – Richelle Mead – Vampire Academy: Blood Promise
• The recent attack on St. Vladimir's Academy devastated the entire Moroi world. Many are dead. And, for the few victims carried off by Strigoi, their fates are even worse. A rare tattoo now adorns Rose's neck, a mark
that says she's killed far too many Strigoi to count. But only one victim matters . . . Dimitri Belikov. Now, with everything at stake—and worlds away from St. Vladimir's and her unguarded, vulnerable, and newly rebellious
best friend—can Rose find the strength to destroy Dimitri? Or, will she sacrifice herself for a chance at eternal love? Join us for a truly vampiric celebration for Richelle Mead and her new book, Blood Promise, the
fourth book in the wildly popular Vampire Academy series. Wear your most gorgeously gothic outfit and get your book signed at the event, all starting at 7:00PM.

current region is South America, and this month we are reading Disgrace by
J.M. Coetzee.

Damned and Tender is the Night, this is a very cool event for any Fitzgerald
fan. Tonight at 7PM.

Salzman

it fair game. Come join Paul and Kester once a month for a new (or
