Newport/Mesa ProLiteracy invites supporters to enjoy Happy
Hour with Lisi Harrison, author of “The
Dirty Book Club.”
Scheduled
for release on October 10, “The Dirty Book Club” marks the New York Times
best-selling author’s debut into adult fiction. The event includes a wine and
cheese reception before the program, as well as a Q & A session following
it. Books will be available for purchase and signing.
Harrison’s
novel focuses on four modern-day strangers who mysteriously inherit a dirty
book club started in the 1960s. The unlikely friends bond over naughty
bestsellers, sharing intimate details of their lives with each other. Inspired
by the characters in the novels they read—and the notes passed down by the
club's original members—the new members of The Dirty Book Club help each other
find the courage to rewrite their own stories and risk it all for a happy
ending.
Before
becoming a best-selling author, Lisi Harrison was the Senior Director of
Development for MTV where she created and developed new shows for the network.
She is the author of over 25 books, including many in the very popular young
adult fiction series, The Clique. A native of Canada, Harrison now makes her
home in Laguna Beach. She has been a proud member of her own dirty book club
since 2007.
Tickets
for the Happy Hour with Lisi Harrison are available at $25 per person beginning
September 1. Space is limited and tickets are
expected to sell out quickly, as they did last year. Proceeds from the event
fund literacy services for adult learners at the Newport Beach Public Library.
