About the event
Join us for Crime & Bubbles — an hour with the store to ourselves before Book Society opens for the day, with mimosas for sale and two authors who know their way around a twisty plot.
We're welcoming Andrea Bartz, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Ferry Out and We Were Never Here, and N. Jooyoun Kim, author of What We Kept to Ourselves and The Last Story of Mina Lee, for a casual morning chat about crime fiction, the publishing world, and everything in between. Both have had novels selected as Reese's Book Club picks.
The schedule
11:00am — Doors open, mimosas pour
11:30am — A short, informal chat with both authors
12:00pm — Chat wraps, store officially opens; stay and hang out as we get the day started
