This is an event that I'm particularly interested in hosting as the idea of nostalgia has been a frequent topic of discussion between me and Michelle. Why is it so powerful? How is it so universal? What is it's opposite? I'm sure we'll get into those questions and more on 9/12/20 at 5:00PM.
Meg Cabot, beloved by all Romancelandia for giving us the gift that is Mia Thermopolis, is this year's Bookstore Romance Day Ambassador. Cabot is the perfect author to represent the spirit of Bookstore Romance Day! The romance genre is wide, with more subgenres and ranges of interest than I can name and Meg Cabot has published books in many of them!
Last year's Bookstore Romance Day was a blast! There were books, there were kittens, Fabio was there, we got to hang out with Deb Jannerson...it was amazing! Things are going to look a bit different for BRD this year, but we are still going to have a great time!
Our online event with Larry Tye is just a week from today! I'm really excited to chat with Larry and I've been really enjoying his new McCarthy bio. In my mind, "McCarthy-ism" has always been a distant and impossible confluence of events that was more of a novelty than standard, but unfortunately there are just too many parallels to present day and lessons to learn in studying McCarthy. It blows my mind to think about the speed with which McCarthy and his allegations came to dominate the public narrative and forever change our politics.
