About the Books:
BELLYACHE by Brianna Pastor
In a world that has become increasingly difficult to navigate—physically, mentally, and spiritually—having empathy is more important than ever. But what if you have a highly sensitive mind? Highly sensitive people, known as empaths, have an expanded capacity to feel not only one set of emotions but also those of others. They experience life more deeply than the average person, leaving them more susceptible to nervous system dysregulation, emotional trauma, and abuse.
Divided into three parts—Body, Mind, and Soul—Brianna Pastor’s intimate collection of poems invites us to explore what it’s like to discover high sensitivity in adulthood and view life through an empathetic lens. Hopefully, by deepening our understanding of sensitivity and how it affects others, we can move one step closer to a more connected, healed world.
MORE STUFF I’VE BEEN FEELING LATELY by Alicia Cook
More Stuff I've Been Feeling Lately is a companion to Alicia Cook's bestselling and widely beloved poetry collection Stuff I've Been Feeling Lately, released for its ten-year anniversary. Returning to the original mixtape-inspired format that first connected with readers, this collection features sixty pieces in total: thirty poems written between 2014 and 2016 during the creation of the original book, and thirty new blackout poems created from those same works a decade later.
If you’ve read Stuff I’ve Been Feeling Lately, this book completes the story.
If you’re discovering Alicia’s work for the first time, this collection is a perfect way in.

Book Signing and Talk with Mike Michalowicz
Money. What if you never had to worry about it again?
In the follow-up to his international bestseller Profit First, entrepreneur and money expert Mike Michalowicz reveals how to achieve financial freedom by working with your natural habits rather than trying to change them. His Profit First model has already helped over a million businesses and entrepreneurs achieve financial independence. Now, with The Money Habit, he brings that proven system to personal finance.
Most financial advice demands strict budgets, sacrifice, and cutting back on life’s joys, yet only 9% of people stick with these approaches. Other systems rely on complex tools or require adopting entirely new behaviors, leading to similarly grim results.
Michalowicz offers a radically simple alternative, guiding you to leverage your existing habits for financial success. By categorizing money into distinct bank accounts, you will instantly gain cash clarity, track spending, and feel empowered, all while maintaining financial responsibility. He provides actionable steps to align your finances with your lifestyle and goals — whether those are to get out of debt, spend some money, save for a big purchase, or plan for the future — illustrated with lessons from his own journey, from losing his first fortune to regaining financial freedom.
The truth is humans have always been wired for financial success, yet we are trying to master methods that work against our natural tendencies. The Money Habit is different: it simply activates what’s already within you. This essential guide delivers a proven, sustainable approach to financial stability, security, and long-term wealth without forcing you to change who you are. All you need to do is activate your money habit.
About Mike:
By his 35th birthday, Mike Michalowicz had founded and sold two multi-million dollar companies… and proceeded to lose his entire fortune. He started all over again, driven to find better ways to grow healthy and strong businesses. Mike has devoted his life to the research and delivery of innovative, impactful entrepreneurial strategies to support the success and sustainability of businesses everywhere.
Mike is the creator of Profit First, which revolutionized how companies manage finances for the better. Mike is also the creator of All In, Clockwork, Fix This Next, The Pumpkin Plan, Surge, The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur, Get Different, and My Money Bunnies.
Today, Mike leads two new multi-million-dollar ventures as he tests his latest business research for his books. He is an international main-stage keynote speaker, providing tools to help eradicate entrepreneurial poverty.
Book Talk and Signing: Harper Ross
For fans of The Midnight Library and In Five Years, The Unwritten Rules of Magic is a spellbinding novel that blends magic and memory in an unforgettable journey through love, grief, and the hidden cost of perfection across three generations of women.
Emerson Clarke can't remember a time when she felt in control. Her father--a celebrated author--was a chaotic force until he got Alzheimer's. Her mother turned to gin. And recently, her teen daughter has shut her out without explanation. If only she could arrange reality the same way she controls the stories she ghostwrites, life could be perfect.
Or so she thinks.
After her father's funeral, Emerson steals his vintage typewriter--the one he'd forbidden anyone to touch--and tests its keys by typing out a frivolous wish. When it comes true the very next day, she tries another. Then, those words also spring to life. Suddenly, she becomes obsessed with using the typewriter to rewrite happiness for herself and her daughter.
But the more she shapes her real-life, the more she uncovers disturbing truths about her family's history and the unexpected cost of every story-come-true. She should destroy the typewriter, yet when her daughter's secret finally emerges, Emerson is torn between paying the price for bending fate and embracing the uncertainty of an unscripted life.
About Harper:
HARPER ROSS has enjoyed a lifelong love affair with the dramatic story worlds in books and movies. After leaving her legal practice to raise her kids, she discovered her own creative side and began writing novels that explore friendship, family, and forgiveness. Because she also appreciates the magic in everyday life—from the spark of attraction to those serendipitous moments we all experience—you’ll find a dash of that in her work too. When she’s not at the keyboard, she’s likely to be singing badly in her car, dancing in her kitchen, or walking her adorable dog, Mo. She’s also a lucky wife and mother to a very patient and supportive family.
About Lisa:
Lisa Roe graduated from the S. I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University and spent many years as an advertising creative director and copywriter in New York City before she accepted the tougher job of stay-at-home mom and turned to writing fiction —mostly to entertain her kids, but then to tell her own stories. A classic first born, reluctant empty nester, and Dr. Doolittle wannabe, Lisa lives in New Jersey with her husband, David and three incorrigible dogs. She is the author of Welcome to the Neighborhood and Big & Lily (coming 8.11.26.)

Book Signing and Talk With Karen Winn
Welcome to the Knox, Boston’s most exclusive secret society
Rumors about The Knox and its influence have swirled through Boston for centuries. While some believe the secret society is merely as an elite social club, others insist it hides something more sinister…

When the glamorous Vivian lands in her ER after a suspicious fall, Taylor is instantly captivated.

Join #1 New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci for an exciting evening celebrating his new thriller, Nash Falls. Hear him discuss the book, his writing, and the stories that captivate millions worldwide.
When Walter Nash is recruited by the FBI to help bring down a global crime network his life is turned completely upside down in this thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci.
Nash is an intelligent man, tough but fair-minded. He has a wife and a daughter and a very high-level position at Sybaritic Investments, where his innate skills and dogged tenacity have carried him to the top of the pyramid in his business career. Despite never going on grand adventures, and always working too many hours, he has a happy and upscale life with his family.
However, following his estranged Vietnam-veteran father’s funeral, Nash is unexpectedly approached by the FBI in the middle of the night. They have an important request: become their inside man to expose an enterprise that is laundering large sums of money through Sybaritic. At the top of this illegal operation is Victoria Steers, an international criminal mastermind that the FBI has been trying to bring down for years.
Nash has little choice but to accept the FBI’s demands and try to bring Steers and her partners to justice. But when Steers discovers that Nash is working with the FBI, she turns the tables on him in a way he never could have contemplated. And that forces Nash to take the ultimate step both to survive and to take his revenge: He must become the exact opposite of who he has always been.
And even that may not be enough.
