After a long hiatus, the Ballroom Book Bash is back! A Cappella Books and the Highland Inn Ballroom Lounge are again joining forces to bring you one of the coolest events in town.
This is where we “discovered” Bernadette Seacrest when she started an evening that featured Atlanta’s own Karen Abbott (also an alum of our little northeastern college) reading from her New York Times bestseller, Sin in the Second City
Now the series is back with lad lit icon, Nick Hornby. Hornby may still be best known for the meandering musical musings of Rob Fleming (and those lists) in 1995′s High Fidelity, but he has done some great work since then. It’s easy to recommend Songbook to any music fan of a particular age and let’s be honest, About A Boy, speaks to a lot of men (even those who can’t stand Hugh Grant). At one point, I subscribed to Believer magazine just so I could catch Hornby’s monthly column about what he was reading (which sorta inspired our own reading lists – Rube & Rose).
Nick will be signing books and discussing his latest – Juliet, Naked
It all happens on Monday, October 18, beginning at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 and include a copy of Juliet, Naked. They’re on sale now at A Cappella Books and here.
