4 MAY MEETING NOTES

Six people attended: Chris L. (a chapter from Staff), Glenda, Gloria A., Lance (1.5 chapters from Bluejay Rises), Leighanne, and Rosie (a chapter from The Great Mrs. Ziegfeld).

NEWS & NOTES

The Tustin Marketplace buildings housing Barnes & Noble and the Open Market OC are allegedly going to be replaced by housing. Recent specifics are few, so there’s no clear information about whether the food court around the Edwards multiplex (including our meeting place) will survive. The B&N is supposed to announce its new location soon.

Author events this coming week:

• Saturday, May 6, 2 p.m.: Gigi Pandian, The Raven Thief; Ellen Byron, Wined and Died in New Orleans; Diane Vallere, Gilt Trip; Lisa Q. Matthews, Fashionably Late (virtual for Book Carnival).
• Saturday, May 6, 2 p.m.: Carolyn Huynh, Little Saigon Stories (in person at the Westminster Branch Library).
• Sunday, May 7, 11 a.m.: Elly Griffiths, The Last Remains (virtual for Book Carnival).
• Tuesday, May 9, 6:30 p.m.: John Borack, The Beatles 100 (in person at the Heritage Park Library, Irvine).
