American Hagwon is finally here!!!!!!!!!! It feels like we’ve been waiting a lifetime (okay, just a decade) for Min Jin Lee’s latest, a breathtaking novel about education, immigration, community, opportunity, with a touch of white collar crime. And we were especially thrilled that Min stopped by to sign copies this week. American Hagwon is on our bookseller’s shelves—add it to yours by ordering a signed copy through the link in our bio.

Join us on October 7th at the Kaufman Music Center for the launch of #1 New York Times best-selling author Veronica Roth’s first book in a bold new Divergent series — The Sixth Faction.
 
The worldwide sensation as you’ve never seen it before. Beatrice Prior stands on the brink of a decision every person in her world must make: five factions, five futures, five lives. She has a plan: she’s going to make the bravest choice, and leave Abnegation behind to join Dauntless, even though it means leaving her family behind. But when tragedy strikes at her Choosing Ceremony, everything changes—her world, her plans, even Beatrice herself. Her ensuing decision thrusts her into the crosshairs of an underground rebellion, and into the path of a boy with secrets as dangerous as her own—a boy with only a number for a name.

Tickets are available now through the link in Strand Book Store, NYC ’s bio.
