At last, I can finally announce that this little blog, created in 2013 after a particularly life-affirming Junot Díaz reading, is now a book, coming out October 27 from Penguin Books.

Last Night’s Reading: Illustrated Encounters with Extraordinary Authors features my favorite portraits (including a few of the best from the blog) and goes on a visual journey through my nightly round of book readings, literary events, and occasional run-ins with Toni Morrison. I try to answer the question, “Why do we go to book readings?” (Hint: it’s not for the free wine.)

You can pre-order the book here. The first 25 people to send a screenshot of their pre-order receipt to kate@lastnightsreading.com will get an original drawing as a thank you.

If you want an early sneak peek, I’ll be at BEA on May 27, signing BLADs (a short sample of the book). Until then, see you at a reading!
