They, along with Book Club Girl, will be at Club Read in Virginia from October 15-16! Club Read is a reader’s retreat that will run from noon on Saturday October 15th through 2 pm on Sunday October 16th at Mariner’s Landing Resort in Huddleston. The weekend will kick off with a Happiness Project lunch with #1 New York Times bestselling author Gretchen Rubin and will conclude on Sunday with book club maven Adriana Trigiani regaling readers at a Don’t Sing at the Table luncheon. In between, authors will speak at panels, meals and other fun events, and readers will get to mix and mingle with authors both favorite and new. You can see the current schedule of events here and the complete list of attending authors here.

You can buy a ticket either at one of the participating bookstores, or via the website. Club Read is brought to readers by the North Atlantic Independent Bookselling Association and the Southern Independent Bookselling Association. Additional sponsors include Reading Group Choices and Authors Around the South.

Follow Club Read on Twitter and friend them on Facebook for news and updates.

Sadly, it’s the same weekend as the Boston Book Festival, so I won’t be there, but I can assure you that Book Club Girl knows how to party. So do Jessica Blau and Greg Olear and Matthew Norman. I don’t know the other authors well enough to comment on their partying abilities, but I have faith.
