Join us on Monday, June 24 at 7 pm for Book and a Beer with Jessica Handler. Facilitated by our friend Brett Barest (who will introduce the beer and the author), Jessica will give a short reading from her new book, The Magnetic Girl, followed by a Q&A time. A sample of beer is free, and books are available for purchase.
Set in rural north Georgia two decades after the Civil War, The Magnetic Girl tells the story of a young girl who convinces her family that she has magnetic powers. It’s a unique portrait of a forgotten period in history, seen through the story of one young woman’s power over her family, her community, and ultimately, herself. Join us – maybe you’ll discover your own super-power while you’re here!
Empowerment. What does it mean to you? We’ve got an evening filled with discussions and new release books to help you answer that question. Join us on June 26 at 7pm as we host three inspiring women to talk about financial empowerment, healthcare empowerment, and empowerment through finding your purpose.
Kerry Hannon has been a contributor for The New York Times, Forbes, and U.S. News and World Report, and has appeared on ABC News, CBS, CNBC, NBC Nightly News, NPR and PBS sharing her over two decades worth of financial know-how. She has co-written several books and is here to join our panel to discuss her newest release, Never Too Old To Get Rich, a how-to guide for aspiring entrepreneurs who are 50+ years old.
Reina S. Weiner’s most recent release Trust Your Doctor…But Not That Much: Be Your Own Best Healthcare Advocate draws on her experience as an Oncology Trainer, a Nursing Instructor, and a Nursing Instructor to talk concrete strategies for becoming an empowered and resilient patient and healthcare advocate.
Kreis Beall, founder of Blackberry Farm (a gorgeous luxury hotel in Tennessee), knows what she’s talking about when it comes to empowerment. She was 23 when she started Blackberry Farm, and has since then transformed the original 9 bedroom farm house into a multiple-award winning food, wine, and wellness destination. Oh, and she was pregnant at the time as well!
These three women will share their stories and their best advice in an evening that is sure to leave you feeling more powerful than ever. Copies of Trust Your Doctor…But Not Too Much and Never Too Old To Get Rich will be available for purchase.
Our Summer Reading Series continues, this time with New York Times and internationally bestselling author Beatriz Williams and her newest book The Golden Hour. Join us for lunch at The Lazy Goat at 12:00pm to hear Beatriz talk and answer questions about her dazzling novel about an investigative journalist in World-War Two-era Nassau.
Beatriz has written and co-written several bestselling historical fiction novels that “breathe life into the interior lives of women” (in the words of Entertainment Weekly) and this book is no exception. It has everything a beach read needs: a lush Caribbean backdrop, a tinge of mystery and political intrigue, and of course, a love affair in the middle of it all.
Tickets are $45 and include a three course lunch and a hardcover copy of The Golden Hour.
On Sunday, July 14, author Granville Wyche Burgess will be at M.Judson from 2-3:30 to discuss his book, The Last At-Bat of Shoeless Joe. In the novel, Granville weaves a story emphasizing the importance of hard work and friendship while re-telling Joe’s story with a message of redemptive hope, just in time for the 100 year anniversary of the scandal.
Granville will read, sign, and have a short Q&A. If you love baseball (or satisfying endings), you’ll love this book.
Join us on July 16 at 7 pm for Book and a Beer with David Joy and Ace Atkins. Facilitated by our friend Brett Barest (who will introduce the beer and the author), David and Ace will both give a short reading from their newest books, followed by a Q&A time.
David’s paperback release, The Line that Held Us, tells a story of revenge, family, and the unimaginable consequences that a single mistake can have. David has always been a staff favorite at M. Judson, but don’t just take our word for it:
Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel calls The Line that Held Us “exquisitely written,” and “heart-wrenching.”
“A suspenseful page-turner,” says the Los Angeles Times.
“No one writes about the issues facing rural America as clearly, as fairly, or as well as David Joy,” says Wiley Cash.
The Shameless is New York Times bestselling author Ace Atkins’ ninth novel in the critically acclaimed and award winning Quinn Colson series, which follows a Sheriff in Mississippi fighting corruption, drug trafficking, and organized crime in his home town.
Ace has also written several best selling novels continuing Robert B. Parker’s Spenser series. And Ace knows what he’s talking about when it comes to twists and suspense: before becoming a novelist he was a crime reporter and journalist (and played football at Auburn University!)
Join us at M.Judson to Meet and Greet author Rory Power on Thursday, July 18 at 7 pm. Rory will be discussing her new book, Wilder Girls. Wilder Girls is a feminist Lord of the Flies about three best friends living in quarantine at their island boarding school, and the lengths they go to uncover the truth of their confinement when one disappears. This fresh, new debut is a mind-bending novel unlike anything you’ve read before. Rory will read excerpts, take some questions, and sign books. Jeff VanderMeer will act as MC for the evening.

Join us on Monday, July 29 to hear Megan Miranda discuss her book, The Last House Guest.
From the acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of All the Missing Girls, The Last House Guest is a suspenseful new novel about an idyllic town in Maine dealing with the suspicious death of one of their own and her best “summer” friend, who is trying to uncover the truth before fingers point her way.
Megan is a staff favorite, and we’re delighted that she’ll be on hand to talk, answer questions, and sign books, and we’ll be dining at the hands of the fabulous Chef Shaun Garcia at Soby’s (which is hardly ever open for lunch).
Tickets are $45 and include a three course lunch and a copy of The Last House Guest.
