His writing and performing have garnered several honors, including Emmy nominations and Screen Actors Guild and Writers Guild Awards.

Award-winning comedian and author, BJ Novak, will turn anyone into a comedian with his new book. A book without pictures doesn't sound very exciting, but when the reader has to read every word on every page out loud, you might think twice! Especially when some of the words are “BLORK” or “Glibbity Globbity.” Who needs pictures when you can have just as much fun reciting the pages of this book. Cleverly silly, and laugh out loud hilarious, children will beg their parents to read it to them again and again!

Event Guidelines:

- For every copy of The Book with No Pictures purchased, B.J. will sign one copy of One More Thing.

- BJ Novak will personalize The Book with No Pictures.

- No memorabilia, photos, etc.

- Photos from the line. No posed photos.

Those wishing to get books signed will be asked to purchase at least one copy of the author's most recent title from Vroman's. For each purchased copy of the newest title, customers may bring up to three copies from home to be signed. This policy applies to all Vroman's Bookstore events unless otherwise noted. Save your Vroman's receipt; it will be checked when you enter the signing line.

The Book with No Pictures by B. J. Novak
This book just ate my dog! by Richard Byrne, Richard Byrne (Illustrator)

Storytime, Special Event, Children's Event Join us for this Storytime featuring a wildly funny read-aloud book by award-winning humorist/actor B.J. Novak. (added from Barnes & Noble)… (more)

The Georgia Center for the Book is pleased to partner with Little Shop of Stories as we welcome the hilarious and talented B.J. Novak to the Decatur Library Auditorium. You might think a book with no pictures seems boring and serious. Except . . . here’s how books work. Everything written on the page has to be said by the person reading it aloud. Even if the words say . . . BLORK. Or BLUURF. Even if the words are a preposterous song about eating ants for breakfast, or just a list of astonishingly goofy sounds like BLAGGITY BLAGGITY and GLIBBITY GLOBBITY. Cleverly irreverent and irresistibly silly, The Book with No Pictures is one that kids will beg to hear again and again. (And parents will be happy to oblige.) B.J. Novak is a writer, producer, and stand-up comedian who has appeared in Punk’d, The Office, Inglorious Basterds, Saving Mr. Banks, and The Amazing Spiderman 2. (jasbro)… (more)
