     Libba Bray and David Levithan

Two Young Adult authors read from their work

New York Times bestselling author Libba Bray reads from her new novel Going Bovine which chronicles the dark, comedic journey of Cameron Smith, as he sets off on a road trip to find the cure for his "mad cow disease", and to save the world.

    Popular YA author David Levithan, author of Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, sets his sights on a more serious topic with his work based on the lives of three teens that the events of 9/11 changed forever.

     Gripping, moving, and utterly relistic, Love Is The Higher Law manages to bring the events surrounding this catastrophic date to a heartbreakingly human level.

Readings from "The Round" Magazine

A round is an ongoing musical conversation that draws on and responds to the voices that have come before it. The Round aims to renew this conversation in literature. By remembering the relationship between reader and writer, we may restore reverence for the written word. To be new does not require an edge; new voices can be part of The Round. To be inclusive is to reflect the dimensional fullness of our name.

"Acceptance"

This refreshing look at the college admissions process reads like a novel and is likely to shock parents and overachievers who cling to the notion that admittance is dependent only upon class rank and test scores. Highly recommended for parents and college-bound students.” – Library Journal
