Six months before she died, Willa Cather called her 1927 novel Death Comes for the Archbishop her “best book.” A perennial favorite for people who love New Mexico, the novel tells an unusual story of two French priests and best friends serving on the American frontier before the arrival of the railroad. In The Bright Edges of the World, Garrett Peck traces Willa Cather’s adventures in the Southwest and how they influenced her 'best book.'

On Sunday, June 7th at 2 pm, Peck—author, historian, and guide of the Willa Cather Santa Fe tour—will discuss and sign his latest release. For fans of Willa Cather, the American Southwest, or timeless literature, "The Bright Edges of the World" is an exhilarating guided trek.

Bachelor Nation rise up! 🌹 On Saturday, May 16th, Stevie K. Seibert Desjarlais, co-editor of "Here for All the Reasons: Why We Watch The Bachelor" will discuss and sign her book, in conversation with Emily Dowdle.

"Thoughtful, honest, and gloriously funny in all the right places, this anthology is a chorus of diverse voices studiously investigating reality TV, fantasy, and desire, while also telling moving stories of identity, belonging, and self-discovery. Bachelor franchise lovers and haters alike will discover something illuminating about how the show has defined a culture that can't seem to stop tuning in to love."
—Eshani Surya, author of "Ravishing"

Devout franchise fans Ilana Masad and Stevie K. Seibert Desjarlais pose the big questions to Bachelor Nation: Who are we? What does the franchise mean to us? And seriously, why on earth can we not stop watching? "Here For All the Reasons" seeks to answer these questions, diving into the complex negotiations of gender, racial, and class politics that arise within the fandom. This anthology is a polyvocal exploration of Bachelor Nation for Bachelor Nation. So, will you accept our rose and join the chat?
