This week, we’re celebrating R.L. Stine’s birthday!
Robert Lawrence Stine, also known as R.L. Stine, was born on October 8, 1943. You might know him from his various Goosebumps novels that were so popular for children.
“Read. Read. Read. Just don’t read one type of book. Read different books by various authors so that you develop different style.” Continue reading “Quote of the Week | R.L. Stine”
Author of the popular The Book Thief (2005), Markus Zusak, is coming out with a new novel this month. Bridge of Clay (2018) is being published by Doubleday.
“I’ve just always loved books, and I love the idea that we’re all just really made of stories. I do also like the idea that anyone can love books. Books don’t care how educated you are or what you do for a living.”

Where: The Jewish Museum, 1109 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY
Cost: Free (with museum admission)
The Jewish Museum is hosting a reading with poet Dorothea Lasky, followed by a discussion with Associate Curator Kelly Taxter. Lasky earned her MFA at the University of Massachusetts and has published three poetry collections: AWE (2007), Black Life (2010), and Thunderbird (2012). She has also had several chapbooks and poems published throughout various journals and magazines, such as the New Yorker, Paris Review, and American Poetry Review.
The poetry reading will be in conjunction with an exhibition of new paintings by artist Eliza Douglas. Douglas creates paintings “that teeter between realism and abstraction, balletic grace and slapstick humor.” The new works created for the Jewish Museum lobby, Shadow and Light, and Blood and Bones are part of a series Douglas began in 2016. They are titled with lines from the poems of Dorothea Lasky.
