SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk with Casey McQuiston
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER & SUBMIT QUESTIONS HERE \nvia Digital Livestream or on Demand \nBring an appetite for sizzling drama as we discuss New York Times bestselling author Casey McQuiston’s latest romantic comedy\, The Pairing. \n\n\n\n\nWhen two bisexual exes accidentally book the same European food and wine tour\, they challenge each other to a hookup competition to prove they’re over each other—except they’re definitely not. \nTheo and Kit have been a lot of things: childhood best friends\, crushes\, in love\, and now estranged exes. After a brutal breakup on the transatlantic flight to their dream European food and wine tour\, they exited each other’s lives once and for all. \nTime apart has done them good. Theo has found confidence as a hustling bartender by night and aspiring sommelier by day\, with a long roster of casual lovers. Kit\, who never returned to America\, graduated as the reigning sex god of his pastry school class and now bakes at one of the finest restaurants in Paris. Sure\, nothing really compares to what they had\, and life stretches out long and lonely ahead of them\, but—yeah. It’s in the past. \nAll that remains is the unused voucher for the European tour that never happened\, good for 48 months after its original date and about to expire. Four years later\, it seems like a great idea to finally take the trip. Solo. Separately. \nIt’s not until they board the tour bus that they discover they’ve both accidentally had the exact same idea\, and now they’re trapped with each other for three weeks of stunning views\, luscious flavors\, and the most romantic cities of France\, Spain\, and Italy. It’s fine. There’s nothing left between them. So much nothing that\, when Theo suggests a friendly wager to see who can sleep with their hot Italian tour guide first\, Kit is totally game. And why stop there? Why not a full-on European hookup competition? \nBut sometimes a taste of everything only makes you crave what you can’t have. \nRegister now to join our discussion about Casey McQuiston’s spiciest book yet! \nAbout the Author: Casey McQuiston is a #1 New York Times bestselling author of romantic comedies\, including One Last Stop\, Red\, White & Royal Blue\, I Kissed Shara Wheeler\, and The Pairing. Red\, White & Royal Blue was adapted into a movie in 2023 and released on Amazon Prime. Casey was recently named on the 2022 Time100 Next List. Their writing has appeared in The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, and Bon Appetit. Born and raised in southern Louisiana\, Casey now lives in New York City with a poodle mix named Pepper. \n

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: How to Thrive in a World of Constant Chaos with Organizational Psychologist Dr. Tasha Eurich
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER & SUBMIT QUESTIONS HERE \nvia Digital Livestream or on Demand \nLearn how to master the daily grind and become shatterproof in a tumultuous world with key insights by Dr. Tasha Eurich as she talks about her newest book\, Shatterproof: How to Thrive in a World of Constant Chaos (And why resilience alone isn’t enough). \nAre you working too much but feel like it’s never enough? Have you turned the act of pretending you’re “fine” into an art form? Does self-care feel like one more item on your already long to-do list? \nWe’ve been taught that resilience is the secret to navigating life’s most difficult moments. But according to New York Times bestselling author\, organizational psychologist\, and researcher Dr. Tasha Eurich\, there is one problem with this assumption. Scientifically\, resilience isn’t an unlimited resource\, especially with the growing pressure and uncertainty we’re experiencing today. \nWhether you’re grappling with work stress\, personal challenges\, or the chaos of everyday life\, Shatterproof offers an urgent alternative to stoic endurance as the only strategy for survival. Combining cutting-edge research\, practical tools\, and insights from her own struggle with a life-defining health crisis\, Dr. Eurich will overturn your beliefs about what it takes to thrive through adversity\, offering a scientifically supported system to help you feel better\, do better\, and live better than before. You’ll discover how to: \n\nReclaim your best self when stress turns you into someone you barely recognize\nUncover the unmet needs that keep you stuck in self-limiting patterns\nTurn stress into strength\, exhaustion into energy\, and confusion into confidence\nFind peace in the present and be prepared for what the future holds\, and much more!\n\nThis timely discussion with Dr. Eurich is sure to unlock powerful new ideas about how to show up as our best selves. Register now to be a part of the conversation! \nAbout the Author: Dr. Tasha Eurich is an organizational psychologist\, researcher\, and New York Times bestselling author on a mission to help people and organizations thrive in an ever-changing world. Recognized as the world’s leading self-awareness coach (Marshall Goldsmith Coaching Awards) and communication expert (Global Gurus)\, she’s spent over two decades teaching people practical strategies to supercharge their self-awareness\, sanity\, and success. Her work has been featured in outlets like The Wall Street Journal\, The New York Times\, Harvard Business Review\, NPR\, CNN\, NBC\, and Fast Company\, as well as peer-reviewed journals. In her spare time\, she enjoys traveling\, rescuing dogs\, and is a proud and unapologetic musical theater nerd.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk with Hannah Nicole Maehrer
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER & SUBMIT QUESTIONS HERE \nvia Digital Livestream or on Demand \nEmbrace your dark side (and your best evil laugh) and join us in conversation with Hannah Nicole Maehrer\, creator of the New York Times bestselling Assistant to the Villain series. \nEvie Sage didn’t mean to become the right-hand woman to the kingdom’s most terrifying villain. One minute\, she was applying for an entry-level position that promised “light paperwork and occasional beheadings\,” and the next\, she was knee-deep in magical mayhem\, murder plots\, and an entirely inappropriate crush on her brooding\, sharp-jawed\, walking disaster of a boss. \nNow\, with a magical prophecy unraveling\, assassins showing up in the break room\, and a suspicious amount of frogs wearing crowns\, Evie has to figure out how to survive her job without setting the kingdom on fire―or her dignity\, which is hanging by a very sarcastic thread. \nBeing evil-adjacent was never part of the five-year plan. But then again…neither was falling for The Villain. \nFull of humor and heart\, this magical office comedy about a sunshine assistant and her grumpy evil boss is one you won’t want to miss out on. With the third book in the series\, Accomplice to the Villain\, out August 5\, 2025\, you need to register today to learn what tricks are up this author’s sleeve! \nAbout the Author: Hannah Nicole Maehrer—or as TikTok Knows her\, @hannahnicolemae—is a fantasy romance author and BookToker with a propensity for villains. When she’s not creating bookish comedy skits about Villains and Assistants\, she’s writing to Taylor Swift songs. Her biggest passions in life include romance\, magic\, laughter\, and finding ways to include them all in everything she creates. Most days you can find her with her head in the clouds and a pen in her hand.

SUMMARY:Ode to the Housatonic Railroad with Mike Allen
DESCRIPTION:THIS PROGRAM IS A CAPACITY. For the waiting list\, please email jkallay@burnhamlibrary.org \nIn Partnership with the Bridgewater Historic Society \nThe iconic Housatonic Railroad continues to chug along\, some 185 years after its first maiden run from Bridgeport to New Milford in 1840. It marked the arrival of a revolutionary new form of transportation – one that replaced stagecoaches and canal barges. The Housatonic has survived numerous ownership changes\, the ending of passenger service\, and a long period of inactivity along a crucial stretch of the line. But it’s still in operation with freight service today. \nMike will lead us through the history of the railroad\, including a photographic review showing where all of the former passenger stations were located. Many remain intact\, albeit in another use. Special attention will be paid to the Merwinsville Station in the Gaylordsville section of New Milford. \nRefreshments after the presentation.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk with Gabe Henry
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER & SUBMIT QUESTIONS HERE \nvia Digital Livestream or on Demand \nHave you ever wondered why the English spelling of words is sometimes… well… just weird? Come on a surprisingly hilarious journey with us and author Gabe Henry through the history of the English language\, while we discuss troublemakers like Mark Twain who broke all the rules. \nAnyone who has the misfortune to write in English will\, every now and then\, struggle with its spelling. In our erratic system\, choir and liar rhyme\, daughter and laughter don’t\, and somehow you and ewe can’t agree on a single letter. So why do we still use it? If our spelling is so inconsistent\, why haven’t we tried to fix it? \nIn the comic annals of linguistic history\, legions of rebel wordsmiths have died on the hill of spelling reform\, risking their reputations to simplify English spelling. This book is about them: Mark Twain\, Eliza Burnz\, Noah Webster\, Upton Sinclair\, Emma Dearborn\, Theodore Roosevelt\, Benjamin Franklin\, and the countless other “simplified spellers” who\, for a time in their lives\, became fanatic about writing kof instead of cough\, tung for tongue\, and fyzics for physics (and tried futilely to get everyone around them to do it too). \nIn Enough is Enuf\, Gabe Henry humorously traces the “simplified spelling movement” from medieval England to Revolutionary America\, from the birth of standup comedy to contemporary pop music\, and explores its lasting influence in words like color (without a U)\, plow (without -ugh)\, and the iconic ’90s ballad “Nothing Compares 2 U.” Finally\, Henry brings us to the digital age\, where the swift pace of online exchanges now pushes us all 2ward simplification. \nRegister now for this informative and entertaining conversation to find out why Gabe Henry thinks UR not a bad speller\, the English language is. \nAbout the Author: Gabe Henry is the author of three books including the poetry anthology Eating Salad Drunk\, a humor collaboration with Jerry Seinfeld\, Bob Odenkirk\, Mike Birbiglia\, Margaret Cho\, and other titans of comedy. Eating Salad Drunk was featured in The New Yorker in February 2022 (“A Smattering of Haiku for the Burnout Age”) and ranked one of Vulture’s Best Comedy Books of 2022. Henry’s work has been published in TIME\, New York Magazine\, The New Yorker\, the Weekly Humorist\, US News & World Report\, and more. He has spent more than a decade exploring the strange and forgotten history of simplified spelling\, which\, by his own admission\, has only made him a worse speller. He lives and works in New York. Learn more at www.gabehenry.com. \nger of positivity in the world and help people learn to talk to each other again – one conversation at a time.
