Bookshop Santa Cruz

Head to the Bookshop to meet Mike Madrid, veteran political consultant and cofounder of The Lincoln Project, for a reading and signing of his new book The Latino Century: How America’s Largest Minority Is Transforming Democracy, an insightful investigation of how and why the two major political parties have failed to appeal to the Latino vote—the second largest ethnic voting group in the country—and the impact it will have on American democracy and politics for decades to come.

Enjoy an evening of live poetry readings from UC Berkley’s C.S. Giscombe and Santa Cruz’s own Nancy Miller Gomez.  Of course, you will also have the chance to purchase their published works, but the reading event is free! 

Olivia Gatwood will be at Bookshop Santa Cruz for a reading and signing of Whoever You Are, Honey, her darkly brilliant debut novel, set right here in Santa Cruz, which explores how women shape themselves beneath the gaze of love, friendship, and the algorithm.
