SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Finding My Way with Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER & SUBMIT QUESTIONS HERE \nvia Digital Livestream or on Demand \nYou are invited to join us online and be one of the first to hear from Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai about her astonishing memoir\, Finding My Way. Malala reintroduces herself to the world\, sharing how she navigated life as someone whose darkest moments threatened to define her narrative—while seeking the freedom to find out who she truly is. \nThrust onto the public stage at fifteen years old after the Taliban’s brutal attack on her life\, Malala Yousafzai quickly became an international icon known for bravery and resilience. But away from the cameras and crowds\, she spent years struggling to find her place in an unfamiliar world. Finding My Way is a story of friendship and first love\, of anxiety and self-discovery\, of trying to stay true to yourself when everyone wants to tell you who you are. In it\, Malala traces her path from high school loner to reckless college student to a young woman at peace with her past. Through candid\, often messy moments like nearly failing exams\, getting ghosted\, and meeting the love of her life\, Malala reminds us that real role models aren’t perfect—they’re human. \nFinding My Way is a vulnerable\, surprising memoir that buzzes with authenticity\, sharp humor\, and tenderness. It is an intimate look at the life of a young woman taking charge of her destiny and is a deeply personal testament to the strength it takes to be unapologetically yourself. Register now for an online conversation you cannot miss! \nAbout the Author: Malala Yousafzai is an education activist\, the youngest-ever Nobel laureate\, bestselling author\, and award-winning film producer. She was born in Mingora\, Pakistan\, in 1997 and graduated from Oxford University in 2020.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Courtly Intrigue and Whispers as Weapons with Historical Fiction Queen Philippa Gregory
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER & SUBMIT QUESTIONS HERE \nvia Digital Livestream or on Demand \nCoined as the “queen of British historical fiction\,” Philippa Gregory returns to the infamous Tudor Court with a tale that is both timely and timeless. We invite you to sit down with us for an intriguing conversation with Gregory about her newest novel Boleyn Traitor (forthcoming October 14\, 2025). \nJane Boleyn watches from the shadows of the Tudor Court\, where secrets are currency\, every choice is dangerous\, and even the faintest whisper can seal the fate of queens. \nFor Jane\, survival demands playing every role required of her: a loving wife who conceals her doubts\, a devoted sister to Anne Boleyn at the height of her power\, and an obedient spy who carefully wields her words. But in a court ruled by ambition and a tyrant’s sword\, Jane must rely on her sharp wit and skillful maneuvering to outthink those around her\, knowing that one wrong move could cost her everything.
