We're just now recovering from the whirlwind that We're just now recovering from the whirlwind that was October. SEVEN events. TEN incredible authors. Countless memorable moments. And possibly a record-breaking amount of coffee consumed by our team. From kicking off the month with the insanely bright and talented young activist Marley Dias and her mother, Dr. Janice Johnson Dias, who reminded us of the power of books to change the world, to getting delightfully weird with Mary Roach and diving into the complexities of art and identity with Ayad Akhtar, we barely had time to catch our breath! Kelly Yang brought stories of courage and resilience to our youngest readers, while Frank Báez, P. Scott Cunningham, and PA&L's own Sony Ton-Aime took us on a journey across languages and cultures during an evening celebrating international poetry. Michael Lewis gave us plenty to think about the role of public servants in our society, and we closed out the month with a sold-out evening with the incomparable Barbara Kingsolver, who reminded us just how much fiction can teach us about empathy and understanding one another. To everyone who joined us, filled our seats, asked thoughtful questions, and helped make October one for the books: THANK YOU! Now, who's ready for November? (We promise we are.) See you on Thursday for Words & Pictures with Erin Entrada Kelly?
