This swap is in partnership with Young Literati (a fund-raising organization for the Los Angeles Public Library - join the group). If you are interested, you can join this members-only group at the end of this event.
Space is limited, so please RSVP here on Goodreads AND shoot an e-mail to literati@lapl.org mentioning that you are a Goodreads member and you'd like to be put on the list!
* This just in! Young Literati has decided to open up 20 spaces for Goodreads members for a private reading with Lisa See at the library at 7 p.m., but you MUST email the director of Young Literati to reserve your space: lenter@lapl.org
*Authors: This swap is not designed to be a promotional event for authors, but if you would like to bring a few copies of your book, that's fine.
*To make sure that you receive all future invites to local events, please join the Goodreads Official Southern California Events group!

Patrick made a comment in the Vroman's Bookstore group:
Hello fellow Vromantics,
I'm not sure how many of you get our email updates or check out website with regularity, but for those who don't, I wanted to make sure you were aware of our new newsletter of recommended reads THE ESSENTIAL.
If you sign up for the newsletter, every month you will get one (and only one) email from us with six to ten new recommended books, each thoughtfully written up by one of our talented booksellers. Also in the newsletter are lists like "New Fiction in Paperback," "New Non-fiction in Paperback," "Overlooked Books," etc.
The books are excellent, the writing is good, and we like to think the design of the newsletter is pretty great, too.
If you want to see a sample of the books we recommended this past month, click here. It gives you a good idea of the kind of books and what the writing is like (but not really the design).
If you'd like to receive subsequent issues of The Essential, shoot us an email (pbrown at vromansbookstore dot com).

We Have Always Lived in the Castle (Paperback)
byShirley Jackson
Okay, yep. It continued to be creepy. But also very good. It's a day's read, and totally worth it. One of the best "mood" books I've read in a while.
