UPDATE: If you have not yet purchased a book, due to high last minute demand, it is likely that your book will not be signed (and personalized, if you request) until after J. Elle returns from her 2 week tour. She will come in at that time and sign your order and we will let you know when it is available for pick up.
What:
We are very excited to welcome J Elle to the shop to celebrate her new book, House of Marionne. Jess will be in conversation with Ali Hazelwood.
If you are not feeling well, we encourage you to remain at home and we can get your book signed for you. If you feel you need a surgical mask, we have them on hand if you find yourself without one.
NOTE: Books will be available for pick up at the event. Although reservations are not required, we appreciate them! You can RSVP here.
When:
Sunday, August 27, 2023 at 3:00 PM Central Time

NOTE: If you would like to pre-order Ali Hazelwood's upcoming YA book Check & Mate, she will sign a bookplate for you to include in the book when it releases.

About the Author:he
J. Elle is the New York Times bestselling author of young adult and middle-grade fantasy fiction and a 2022 NAACP Image Award Nominee for Outstanding Literary Work for Youth and Teens. The former educator credits her nomadic lifestyle and humble inner-city beginnings as inspiration for her novels. When she’s not writing, Elle can be found on the hunt for desserts without chocolate, looking for any excuse to get dressed up, and road-tripping her way across the country with her two dogs in tow.
Ali Hazelwood is the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis as well as a writer of peer-reviewed articles about brain science, in which no one makes out and the ever after is not always happy. Originally from Italy, she lived in Germany and Japan before moving to the US to pursue a PhD in neuroscience. When Ali is not at work, she can be found running, eating cake pops, or watching sci-fi movies with her three feline overlords (and her slightly-less-feline husband).
