Library Shop SD, along with our friends at Meet Cute Bookshop, is excited to host BK Borison at the Neil Morgan Auditorium to celebrate the release of "Grim Tidings"! BK will be in conversation with Susan Lee at the San Diego Central Library @ Joan Λ Irwin Jacobs Common. BK Borison is the New York Times bestselling author of cozy, contemporary romances featuring emotionally vulnerable characters and swoon-worthy settings. When she’s not daydreaming about fictional characters doing fictional things, she’s at home with her family, more than likely buying books she doesn’t have room for. Susan Lee is a USA Today bestselling author of both young adult and adult romantic comedies. Her work has been featured in national outlets such as Buzzfeed, NPR, People Magazine, Oprah, and Harper’s Bazaar. After a career as an executive at some of today’s hottest companies, Susan now channels her energy into publishing Happily Ever Afters for those historically underrepresented in Romance. When she is not writing Susan can be found devouring fic on AO3, building mechanical keyboards, and catering to the every whim of her senior diva chihuahua, Buttercup. ABOUT GRIM TIDINGS From #1 New York Times bestselling author BK Borison comes a new whimsical, haunting romance. When a runaway grim reaper tries to save a life, she clashes with a skeptical Guardian, forcing them to form an unlikely partnership beyond the grave. Darcy Moore is tired of death. Which would be fine and good … if she wasn’t a Grim Reaper. Determined to outrun her designation as the villain, Darcy decides she won’t be dragging her next assignment to the underworld. She’ll be saving him instead. Unfortunately for Darcy, there’s a complication in her plan. Guardian Angel Gabriel Aetos doesn’t tolerate threats to his little corner of the world, and a Grim Reaper showing up at his bar is as deadly as it gets. But when he realizes Darcy is not as she seems, Gabriel must decide if he can trust his growing feelings or hold on to his long-standing grudge. But magic doesn’t come without consequences. And the Department of Hauntings & Spirits will eventually come calling for their missing Reaper. A spooky yet simmering enemies-to-lovers tale to keep you warm this fall.
