The night continues with a live auction of exclusive Elin prizes (plus the chance to win advanced copies of The Thoroughbreds, the anticipated sequel to The Academy). Enjoy a lively conversation between Elin and her daughter and co-author Shelby Cunningham all hosted by Tim Ehrenberg of Tim Talks Books. Special appearance by Elin’s audio book narrator Erin Bennett. Food and drink inspired by the novel and dancing in the ballroom to end the evening.
