Author of Some Girls, Jillian Lauren, read at Kaboom Books on Friday May 28th. Munching on snow cones of various flavors, (lime thai basil included!) the healthy crowd listened intently as Jillian read
two passages from the memoir. Like in the book, she threw in just the right amount of humor in her reading. Jillian answered a few questions before it started pouring down, cooling us from the summer sun, but begging us to get electricuted. Once everything moved inside, Jillian signed copies of the book, quickly selling out of them. Kaboom Books, which also hosts a monthly (but off for the summer) reading for NANO Fiction, is a narrow, well-stocked store which provided a muggy, crowded but intimate atmosphere. The night ended with our stomachs filled with tofu spring rolls and colorful pastries, a copy of Some Girls (for some, multiple copies) tucked under our arms.
