Watchung Booksellers, Monday, May 20 at 4pm
Debbie Dadey Bailey School Kids and Mermaid Tales Monday, May 20th, 4-5pm Debbie Dadey, widely beloved author of the now classic, Adventures of the Bailey School Kids, introduces us to her newest series, Mermaid Tales, featuring the fun adventures and friendships of the third grade merkids at Trident Academy. Debbie Dadey taught first grade before becoming a librarian. It was while teaching that she first realized how much she wanted to write a book for reluctant readers. Her first book, Vampires Don't Wear Polka Dots, with fellow teacher Marcia Thornton Jones, was the result of a very bad day. Since then, Debbie and Marcia have collaborated on more than 125 books, including the best-selling Bailey School Kid series. Debbie lives in Bucks County, Pennsylvania with her husband, three dogs, and three children.

Book Launch Party for "Heather Christo's Generous Table"
Posman Books @ GCT, Monday, May 20 at 6:30pm
Come to Chelsea and celebrate Heather Christo's new cookbook with complimentary wine and yummy goodies on Monday evening May 20th.

Heather Christo, the younger generation’s entertaining doyenne, relates to the challenges facing her busy readers, women who may juggle marriage, family, careers and budgets, but who still wish to host beautiful, unique get-togethers for the people closest to them. Heather has spent a year chronicling the special occasions that season her family’s life—wedding showers, baby showers, holiday celebrations, family birthdays and many wonderful meals shared with people they love—everyday celebrations that many families observe, and which many readers would like to be better prepared for. This is where her experience as a working mom of young children and her expertise as a chef and entertaining expert come together. Generous Table is more than just a cookbook. It is easy to find vast collections of great recipes. But how do you turn them into great meals, great experiences? Especially parties, of any size, where there is always added pressure to be organized, for things to look beautiful, and, of course, for the food to be completely delicious!

Deb Levy - Bury the Hot
Watchung Booksellers, Tuesday, May 21 at 7:30pm
Tuesday, May 21st, 7:30pm Deb Levy Bury the Hot: A Childhood Lost Hiding from Hitler Reading & Signing at Bnai Keshet She grew up celebrating holidays with Sal's family. She trick-or-treated with his daughter. Yet Deb knew nothing about Sal's past until he called out of the blue and asked her to write his story. There was a reason she didn't know. Sal hadn't even told his wife the details of his childhood. BURY THE HOT is the Holocaust story few have the tenacity or courage to share, and explores both a traumatized childhood, and how the repression of it impacts a marriage. It is the heartbreaking account of evading murder, and a brutally honest reflection of a life lived trying to escape the memories. Deb Levy lives in New Jersey with her husband and three sons. Her writing has appeared on parenting websites and in Lilith Magazine.

Greenlight Fiction Book Group
Greenlight Bookstore, Tuesday, May 21 at 7:30pm
Tuesday, May 21, 7:30 PM Greenlight Fiction Book Group

Led by Greenlight general manager Alexis, this book group discusses paperback fiction on the third Thursday of each month. For May, the group discusses the Booker Prize-shortlisted novel The Sisters Brothers by Patrick DeWitt. Hermann Kermit Warm is going to die. The enigmatic and powerful man known only as the Commodore has ordered it, and his henchmen, Eli and Charlie Sisters, will make sure of it. Though Eli doesn't share his brother's appetite for whiskey and killing, he's never known anything else. But their prey isn't an easy mark, and on the road from Oregon City to Warm's gold-mining claim outside Sacramento, Eli begins to question what he does for a living–and whom he does it for. With The Sisters Brothers, Patrick DeWitt pays homage to the classic Western, transforming it into an unforgettable comic tour de force. Filled with a remarkable cast of characters–losers, cheaters, and ne'er-do-wells from all stripes of life–and told by a complex and compelling narrator, it is a violent, lustful odyssey through the underworld of the 1850s frontier that beautifully captures the humor, melancholy, and grit of the Old West and two brothers bound by blood, violence, and love.

Flowers Dreaming the Elevation Allegiance: A (Soma)tic Poetry Primer with CAConrad
Poets House, Wednesday, May 22 at 7pm
CAConrad writes: “(Soma)tic poetry rituals aim our attention at two basic principles: (1)Everything around us has a creative viability with the potential to spur new modes of thought and imaginative output and (2)The most vital ingredient to bringing sustainable, humane changes to our world is creativity.”

In this program, based upon A Beautiful Marsupial Afternoon: New (Soma)tics, Conrad will lead us through his philosophy of poets and poetry as a means to help solve the planet’s ills and to “resist the urge to subdue our spirits and lose ourselves in the hypnotic beep of machines, of war, and the banal need for power, and things.” (rmharris)… (more)
