10 Books You Must-Have at East Hampton Library’s 21st Annual Authors Night

Veronica Chumbiby Veronica Chumbi

Home Community

Out of all the Hamptons summer events, only one combines my two greatest loves: books and meeting authors. On Saturday, August 9th, the East Hampton Library will host their 21st Annual Authors Night under a grand tent at Herrick Park in East Hampton. It is one of the most popular and celebrity-studded events of the summer. At 5 pm, the Authors Cocktail Party reception invites guests to enjoy delicious hors d’oeuvres and wine, meet and mingle with the authors, buy their books, and have them signed. At 8 pm, guests with higher-level tickets can attend one of the author dinner parties, held at private homes in honor of one or more of the guest authors.

 

“As we celebrate the 21st anniversary of Authors Night, we’re excited to once again bring this beloved event to the heart of East Hampton Village,” said Dennis Fabiszak, Director of the East Hampton Library. “The funds raised at Authors Night allow us to continue offering essential programs and services at the library—completely free of charge—to our diverse community all year long.”

 

While Hamptons.com recommends buying all the books and chatting with as many authors as possible, here are the books we’re eager to pick up at the East Hampton Library’s 21st Annual Authors Night!

 

#1: Merlin’s Universe

by Neil deGrasse Tyson

“A highly coveted author and popular stop on the “tour de books” (expect a long line, but the wait is 100% worth it). Join Neil’s fictional character, Merlin, on a journey through the cosmos as he answers popular questions and meets important scientific figures and explorers. I’m excited to own this book and meet America’s favorite astrophysicist!” – Veronica Chumbi


#2: Early Thirties

by Josh Duboff

“As someone who recently turned thirty, this book hits all the spots: getting older, the cosmic shift between leaving your (chaotic and messy) twenties and entering your thirties; where you question your existence and relationships. I promise that after the first page, you’ll be hooked.” – Veronica Chumbi


#3: Light, Sand, and Sea

by Jaime Lopez and Coco Myers

“The Hamptons’ history as an artist colony is always fascinating to me – super excited to explore!” – David Andrews


#4: Uptown Girl: A Memoir

by Christie Brinkley

“The world may know her as a highly successful model who has graced over 500 magazine covers, but this memoir allows readers to look behind the camera as Christie shares what her life was like then and now.” – Veronica Chumbi


#5: Not Too Sweet

by Jessica Seinfeld

“I’m not a sweets person, but my fiancé is a chef – I’m hoping this cookbook can help us find common ground!” – David Andrews


#6: A Willful Corpse

by Helen A. Harrison

“Perfect for mystery and art lovers. Venture into a high-stakes investigation to track down a forger of Jackson Pollock paintings.” – Veronica Chumbi


#7: Are You Mad at Me

by Meg Josephson

“In this new age of social media and constant online presence, it’s easy to fall victim to the pressure of having ‘the perfect life.’ Psychotherapist and social media star Meg Josephson dives into our need to people please and offers remedies.” – Veronica Chumbi


#8: The Last Bookstore on Earth

by Lily Braun-Arnold

“I’m a sucker for fiction, especially apocalyptic fiction. This will be the first book in my new Author’s Night tote.” – Veronica Chumbi


#9: Speak, Memorably

by Bill McGowan and Juliana Silva

“The sub-title for this book is “The art of captivating an audience,” so consider it professional development!” – David Andrews


#10: The Mysterious Mrs. Nixon

By Heath Lee

“Fun fact about me: when I was about 10, I went through what my parents called “My Nixon Phase.” I was fascinated. But, while I know Nixon’s middle name (Milhouse, btw), I’m ashamed to admit I know almost nothing about Pat. #NixonPhasePart2.” – David Andrews
