Prison Banned Books Week at Third Place Books September 22-28, 2024

Tuesday, September 17, 2024

During Prison Banned Books Week (Sept. 15-21) and Banned Books Week (Sept. 22-28), a generous donor will match your purchase when you buy a book from this wish-list for Books to Prisoners.
 
Books to Prisoners is a Seattle-based nonprofit that has been sending free books to individuals in prison for over 50 years. 

They do this because they believe that reading is an essential element of education, self-empowerment, and in breaking the cycle of recidivism.

Support this effort by buying a book for Books to Prisoners that will foster a love of reading, or illuminate a new path forward, or supply tools for post-prison success.

Link to the Wish List here

This wish list is valid through August 20, 2025.

Third Place Books is located on the upper level to Town Center, intersection Bothell and Ballinger Way NE, Lake Forest Park 98155.

September 2024 events at Third Place Books

Saturday, August 24, 2024

Author event at Third Place Books

Third Place Books has two featured author events in September. In addition, J.A. Jance will present her new J.P. Beaumont story on September 10, 2024

Thursday, September 12 at 7pm, Lake Forest Park 

Our blockbuster hit of September, the prolific Jodi Picoult meets with Julia Quinn, local mastermind of the Bridgerton series. Picoult's new novel By Any Other Name is about two women, centuries apart—one of whom is the real author of Shakespeare’s plays (ooh!!?)—who are both forced to hide behind another name. This event is ticketed.

Wednesday, September 25 at 7pm, Lake Forest Park 

Rumaan Alam's new novel Entitlement is a riveting tale for our new gilded age, a story that confidently considers questions about need and worth, race and privilege, philanthropy and generosity, passion and obsession. 

Alam's best known novel is Leave the World Behind, which was adapted into a decent Netflix film starring Ethan Hawke, Julia Roberts, and Mahershala Ali.

Third Place Books is located on the upper level of LFP Town Center, intersection Bothell and Ballinger Way NE.

Here is the full list of author events at Third Place Books in September 2024
