BOOK CLUB
Monday, May 4th 5-7pm | Good People, Patmeena Sabit
Book Club is back, and there’s so much to discuss in the riveting book we’ve chosen. Good People is a stunning debut novel which tells the tale of a successful immigrant family experiencing unthinkable tragedy. The story is ingeniously told through the perspectives of those in the family’s community, leaving the reader to consider what is true and how our stories are told.
Please RSVP to Maria@lagunabeachbooks.com.

AUTHOR EVENT
Thursday, May 13th 5-6:30pm | Where the Girls Were, Kate Schatz
The Susi Q Center | 380 Third Street, Laguna Beach
Kate Schatz will discuss her historic novel, Where the Girls Were. For women who remember what the world was like when abortion was illegal and America was engaged in an unpopular war, the discussion will feel timely and relevant. Schatz is the NYT bestselling author of the Rad Women book series and co-authored Do The Work: An Anti-Racist Activity Book with W. Kamau Bell. Marrie Stone will moderate.
To register for this event go to thesusiq.com. There is a $25 registration fee.

AUTHOR EVENT
Tuesday, May 19th 5-7pm | Forest of the Sea, David Helvarg
Kelp forests, “entrancing cathedrals of light and life”, contribute significantly to the health of our planet as well as the world economy. Alarmingly, marine heat waves threaten this incredibly biodiverse ecosystem. On May 19th we’ll welcome David Helvarg, a journalist, environmental activist, and author of Forest of the Sea. There is much to learn and much that can be done to protect these vital marine habitats, and we hope you will join us for an informative evening.
RSVP to maria@lagunabeachbooks.com.
