We're hoping to make an announcement in February once we get some final t's crossed and i's dotted with our visiting authors. Stay tuned!

Thanks Erica!

I read "The Flight Attendant " by Chris Bohjalian and felt it read like an action-packed movie. (It was adapted into a TV series in 2020 on HBO Max). I watch these kinds of movies with my husband, but this is not my typical read. I do, however, think I'd enjoy reading a memoir by a flight attendant and will keep my eyes open for one. Hope to hear him speak at AViD.

There was such a memoir many years ago, called Coffee, Tea or Me

I read Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel. This was outside of my typical genre but it had come highly recommended. I struggled with it as I felt very underwhelmed throughout most of the book and then, at the end, it tied up nicely - I just wanted more of that throughout.

I read "The Glass Hotel" by Emily St. John Mandel, the only novel in her loosely-connected trilogy that I had yet to read. It was phenomenal!
