If you bought the "2 People and 1 Book Ticket", only one of the two people will be allowed in line for photo. General Admission Seating. Doors will open at 6pm. If you need special accommodations, please call the store. Tickets are NON-REFUNDABLE; if you are unable to attend, you will still receive your book. ABOUT THE BOOK It's not summer without a new Riley Sager book, and his highly anticipated new thriller is unlike anything he’s written before. Inspired by Agatha Christie’s classic, Murder on the Orient Express , WITH A VENGEANCE (out June 10, 2025; Dutton) is set entirely on a luxury overnight train from Philadelphia to Chicago with just a handful of passengers…and a murderer on board. There’s more than one person on the train seeking vengeance - and it’s a race against the clock to see who can strike the hardest before the end of the night. Since his breakout hit Final Girls , Sager has honed his knack for page-turning suspense with each book. Last year’s Middle of the Night received more rave reviews and attention than ever before from outlets like The New York Times, NPR , Good Morning America, People, AARP and beyond. Sager’s book tour was met with packed, standing room only crowds, rocketing Middle of the Night onto the NYT bestseller list – his seventh bestseller in as many years. Even with last year’s huge Sager Summer, WITH A VENGEANCE is already on track to be his biggest release to date. All aboard! Revenge is fleeting. Vengeance lasts a lifetime. It’s 1954 and Anna Matheson has been waiting twelve years to take vengeance against the six people who destroyed her family. No one expected her to strike at all, much less on the luxury train her father loved and lost, but she’s managed to do just that. Under false pretenses, Anna lures the six culprits aboard. There’s the housekeeper, the secretary, the business partner, the rival, the military contractor, and the jealous employee. Each responded to a highly specific invitation, climbing aboard the train that brought them all together in the first place, but what they didn’t expect is that they would be the only people on this particular journey. There are no other passengers, no employees – just them, Anna, her accomplice, and their mutual fury. Anna isn’t a killer, and her plot doesn’t involve bloodshed. But despite her meticulous preparations, Anna’s plan to trap and confront each person before delivering them directly into the hands of the authorities is immediately derailed when one of her six guests is murdered. As the train barrels through the night, it becomes clear that someone else on board is enacting their own form of revenge—and that they won’t stop until everyone is dead. As the clock ticks down and the bodies pile up, Anna is forced to hunt the killer, second guess her allies, and protect the people she hates the most, even if that means putting her own life at risk. Sager pivots to different characters’ perspectives throughout the novel, keeping the storyline as unpredictable as the revenge plot. WITH A VENGEANCE is summer reading at its best – fun, thrilling, and smart, with twists that will have you wishing your vacation flight was just a little bit longer. For fans of Ruth Ware and Lucy Foley, this is a can’t miss. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Riley Sager is the New York Times bestselling author of nine novels, most recently With a Vengeance and Middle of the Night . A native of Pennsylvania, he now lives in Princeton, New Jersey. Information Source: Newtown Bookshop | eventbrite

3 day Wood Firing Experience in the heart of Mid Wales. Our Girel 3e kiln was built in 2024, an ergonomic, economic and environmentally friendly kiln designed by Jean Girel in 2022. It uses less wood than comparable kilns and fires in much less time giving the opportunity for the experience of wood firing without a large time commitment. The kiln is designed to be energy efficient, both in terms of the wood used and the effort of stoking. Those coming on the course will be able to participate in the full firing experience. Firing weekend courses will be Friday to Sunday. June 20,21,22 Sept 26,27,28 Programme - Friday . Glazing and packing the kin 10.00 – 19.00 Saturday .

It is very important that you use appropriate clay to minimise adverse effects on other pots and kiln shelves. We provide a range of glazes that have been used successfully in this kiln. In wood firing, much of the pleasure is gained by the action of the flame on the unglazed surface of the clay body, so glazing is not always preferable. We can’t guarantee to fire all of your pots, but we will fire as many as possible. Optional 2 day throwing workshops , max 5 students Saturday and Sunday before the firing June 14,15 September 20,21 Work to be made for firing the following weekend may be bisque fired or kept raw.

We are 25 years into the Biotech Century. Have the predictions, opportunities, and threats that many in the late 1990s wrote about come to pass? From eliminating disease to the development of new technologies and moving toward the Singularity, how have the predictions made in the 1990s fared? Which opportunities and threats have been realized? What unforeseen issues have arisen? How does the knowledge we have now inform how we view the predictions that were made then? And, perhaps most importantly, how can human beings flourish over the rest of the Biotech Century?

Welcome to the Ordinary Elephant show! Join us on Wednesday, Jul 09, 2025, at 7:00 PM at the Northfield Mandolin Workshop . Get ready for a night filled with beautiful music and soulful performances by the talented duo, Ordinary Elephant. Don't miss out on this opportunity to experience their heartfelt lyrics and captivating melodies in person. See you there! ORDINARY ELEPHANT Mesmerizing folk duo Ordinary Elephant has spent the better part of the last decade on a never-ending tour that’s earned married couple Crystal and Pete Damore widespread critical acclaim and made fans of luminaries like Tom Paxton and Mary Gauthier. In 2017, the pair took home the International Folk Music Award for Artist of the Year on the strength of their breakout album, Before I Go, and two years later, they returned with the similarly lauded Honest, which the Associated Press hailed as “one of the best Americana albums of the year.” The band’s new stripped-down, self-titled collection is the purest distillation of their sound yet, showcasing the arresting power of the couple’s gorgeous harmonies and intricate fretwork. The songs are timeless, rooted in rich, character-driven storytelling, and the performances are similarly transportive, fueled by delicately intertwined banjo, guitar, and octave mandolin. Though the songs were born out of a period of deep uncertainty, the record itself is a work of profound self-assurance, one delivered by a duo whose personal and professional lives embody the limitless possibility of honest, organic collaboration. Press play on Ordinary Elephant and you’ll hear more than just a husband and wife; you’ll hear the sound of sincerity and commitment, of patience and gratitude, of learning to let go of expectation and revel in the simple beauty of the moment. https://www.ordinaryelephant.net/ Information Source: Northfield Mandolins | eventbrite
