She also thought she’d signed divorce papers when the graduation caps were tossed\, and they both went on their merry ways. \nThree years later\, Anna is a starving artist living paycheck to paycheck while West is a Stanford professor. He may be one of four heirs to the Weston Foods conglomerate\, but he has little interest in working for the heartless corporation his family built from the ground up. He is interested\, however\, in his one-hundred-million-dollar inheritance. There’s just one catch. \nDue to an antiquated clause in his grandfather’s will\, Liam won’t see a penny until he’s been happily married for five years. Just when Liam thinks he’s in the home stretch\, pressure mounts from his family to see this mysterious spouse\, and he has no choice but to turn to the one person he’s afraid to introduce to his one-percenter parents—his unpolished\, not-so-ex-wife. \nBut in the presence of his family\, Liam’s fears quickly shift from whether the feisty\, foul-mouthed\, paint-splattered Anna can play the part to whether the toxic world of wealth will corrupt someone as pure of heart as his surprisingly grounded and loyal wife. Liam will have to ask himself if the price tag on his flimsy cover story is worth losing true love that sprouted from a lie. \nAbout Christina Lauren\nChristina Lauren is the combined pen name of longtime writing partners and best friends Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings\, the New York Times\, USA TODAY\, and #1 internationally bestselling authors of the Beautiful and Wild Seasons series\, Dating You / Hating You\, Autoboyography\, Love and Other Words\, Roomies\, Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating\, My Favorite Half-Night Stand\, The Unhoneymooners\, Twice in a Blue Moon\, The Soulmate Equation\, Something Wilder\, and The True Love Experiment.

SUMMARY:Dominic Erdozain at The NewSouth Bookstore Thursday\, May 16 at 5:30pm!

SUMMARY:The NewSouth Bookstore celebrates Women's History Month with its first ever group read!
DESCRIPTION:March is Women’s History Month. This year\, we’re organizing our first bookstore group read — think of it as a one-time\, one-book book club — in recognition of it. Our selection for the group read is Book of Ages: The Life and Opinions of Jane Franklin. The work by Jill Lepore — American historian and journalist on faculty at Harvard University\, staff writer at The New Yorker\, and author of more than a dozen books — was published in 2013. It was a National Book Award finalist and New York Times Notable Book. It’s a tour-de-force that is simultaneously “a fascinating look at early America\, a meditation on one remarkable mind by another\, and\, implicitly\, a biography of all the other Janes—history’s anonymous and overlooked women” (New York Magazine). \nWith this post we are formally announcing the group read. We have a large stack of copies of the book at The NewSouth Bookstore awaiting purchase ($19). Those wishing to participate may take January through early April to read the book. We will gather for discussion in the bookstore on April 23 at 5:30pm. Sign-up is suggested: jessala.white@newsouthbookstore.com. All are invited\, irrespective of sex/gender. Thank you for considering this announcement your personal invitation to be part of what will be an exciting Women’s History Month event!

SUMMARY:Tina Mozelle Braziel and James Braziel present GLASS CABIN
DESCRIPTION:Join Thank You Books for an afternoon with husband-and-wife authors and UAB professors Tina Mozelle Braziel and James Braziel\, and to celebrate their fascinating new book of poetry. \n“GLASS CABIN chronicles the thirteen years Tina and James spent building their home out of second-hand tin\, tornado-snapped power poles\, and church glass on a waterless ridge in rural Alabama. Their alternating voices support one another like parts of their cabin—every board needs its nail\, every window needs its frame. These poems explore the work it takes to measure cuts for stairs\, to haul water—one ton at a time—up the side of the mountain\, and to write. It is also a meditation on hope\, on frustration\, and their place in the wilder parts of the world.” \nThe event is free but registration is encouraged:  please register here \nJames and Tina Mozelle Braziel are a husband-and-wife writing team. They have received fellowships from Hot Springs National Park and Alabama State Council on the Arts. James’s book\, This Ditch-Walking Love\, winner of the Tartt Fiction Award\, tells the stories of people living on Alabama’s Cumberland Plateau. His novels Birmingham\, 35 Miles (Bantam) and Snakeskin Road (Bantam) are about the survivors of an environmental disaster in the future South. James\, an associate professor\, teaches creative writing at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Tina Mozelle Braziel is the author of Known by Salt (Anhinga)\, winner of the Philip Levine Prize for Poetry\, and Rooted by Thirst (Porkbelly). Her work has appeared in POETRY and other journals. Tina directs the Ada Long Creative Writing Workshop for high school students at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. James and Tina live and write in a glass cabin that they are building by hand on Hydrangea Ridge.

SUMMARY:Magic City Poetry Festival: Zines And Poetry: Making A Tiny Book With Alina Stefanescu
DESCRIPTION:In structural conditions that narrow what gets published\, whether by political systems that legislate repressive ideologies against free speech or by economic structures that prevent critical and system-challenging work from being published\, the zine works from a tradition of grassroots publishing. The zine isn’t working to get into the elite circles (though sometimes it does): the zine is working to speak\, to say\, to share\, and to imagine power differently. \nIn this zine-making workshop\, join MCPF board member\, celebrated writer and poet Alina Stefanescu as you endeavor to make your very own zine\, Wednesday\, April 17\, 6 p.m. via Zoom. \nSupplies needed: white paper (printer or otherwise)\, a writing utensil\, glue\, and optional collage materials (magazines\, etc). \n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Jennifer Horne at The NewSouth Bookstore on Tuesday\, April 16 at 5:30pm!
DESCRIPTION:The fascinating but troubled life of Montgomery’s own Sara Mayfield (1905—1979) emerges from the pages of a fine new biography by Jennifer Horne\, titled Odyssey of a Wandering Mind. We are lucky to have Horne — author and former Alabama state poet laureate — present on the topic at The NewSouth Bookstore on Tuesday\, April 16 at 5:30pm. Horne tracks Mayfield’s early life in Montgomery’s elite social circles\, her friendship with H.L. Mencken and others culturally prominent\, her lengthy confinement in Bryce Hospital for the Insane\, and her writing career. It’s a book as rich and interesting as Mayfield’s life was rich and interesting. At The NewSouth Bookstore in April.
