Los Angeles Times Festival of Books

L.A.-based readers won’t want to miss this weekend’s Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, held this year on the USC campus.  Millions staff writer Patrick Brown will be moderating a panel discussion about bookselling, “From the Front Register,” on Saturday at 12:30 pm.  At 2:30 that same day, I’ll be on a panel facilitated by Lizzie Skurnick called “Fiction: The Long and Short of It.”  My fellow panelists are Yiyun Li and occasional Millions contributor Victoria Patterson.  Go here for details and to order panel tickets (just $1 each)!
