SUMMARY:Books Between Bites
DESCRIPTION:Batavia Books Between Bites Program \nPress Contact:  Becky Hoag\, info@booksbetweenbites.com \nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE \nBatavia’s Books Between Bites 2023-2024 Season Announced \n(BATAVIA) — Batavia's popular monthly noontime book program\, Books Between Bites\, begins its 35th season on Thursday\, Sept. 21. \nThe series is hosted from noon to 1 p.m. at the Batavia Public Library\, 10 S. Batavia Ave. The public is invited to attend these free programs\, presented September through May\, on the third Thursday of the month. Reservations are not required. \nThe 2023-2024 season opens on Sept. 21 with Kate Garrett\, director of the Batavia Depot Museum\, discussing "Over My Dead Body: Unearthing the Hidden History of America’s Cemeteries" by Greg Melville. A journalist\, Melville visits local cemeteries wherever he travels and in this book\, he invites readers to join him. From colonists’ hasty burials to the leisure parks that inspired the Transcendentalists\, Melville sees cemeteries as windows to understanding American history. Garrett\, a Batavia resident\, is a lifelong learner who feels about libraries the way Melville feels about cemeteries. \nThe season continues on Oct. 19 with local author Annie Hansen\, and her new novel "Get a Grip." On Nov. 16\, Pam Otto\, outreach ambassador for the St. Charles Park District and creator of the weekly "Good Natured" column\, shares a favorite that was a bestseller in 1942: "We Took To the Woods" by Louise Dickinson Rich. Books Between Bites will be hosted one week early in December\, on Dec. 14\, as Batavia’s city administrator\, Laura Newman\, discusses two autobiographies by Madeleine Albright: "Madam Secretary" and "Hell and Other Destinations." \nThe series kicks off 2024 on Jan. 18 with Mayor Jeff Schielke sharing what he has researched as "The Back Story of Batavia History." On Feb. 15\, we introduce our new executive director of Batavia Public Library\, Josephine Tucci. She shares her special interest in "Scandinavian and British Mysteries." Former ESPN senior writer and legal analyst\, Lester Munson\, returns with his sports perspectives on March 21\, discussing "The Tao of the Backup Catcher" by Tim Brown and Erik Kratz. \nLocal author Marnie O. Mamminga will introduce her new book for children\, "The Woodpecker’s Song\," on April 18. She will be joined by her illustrator\, Mary C. Parks. The final program of the season will be on May 16 when Batavian Karl Bruhn shares his fascinating research on "Sears Kit Houses in Batavia\, Geneva & Beyond." \nBooks will be available for sale and signing at each of the programs featuring authors. \nThese programs are held in the Founders Room\, located on the main level of the Batavia Public Library. Parking is available in the lot just south of and adjacent to the Library. \nGuests are invited to bring their lunch and eat as they enjoy the program and discussion. Lunch items\, beverages and baked goods also may be purchased at Flyleaf Bakery Cafe\, located just inside the Library and next to the meeting room.

His debut standup special People Pleaser (2022) was produced by Comedy Dynamics and is available to stream now. \nIf his face seems familiar\, you may recognize it from his appearances on Conan (TBS)\, Late Night With Seth Meyers (NBC)\, and The Late Late Show with James Corden (CBS). But you may also know his voice from his regular appearances on the NPR news quiz show Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me. Gondelman is also the author of the essay collection Nice Try: Stories of Best Intentions and Mixed Results published September 2019 by Harper Perennial. And\, if you remember this far back\, he was the co-creator of the popular Modern Seinfeld Twitter account. \nJosh’s album Dancing On a Weeknight came out in 2019 on Blonde Medicine Records. (His prior album Physical Whisper debuted in March of 2016 at #1 on the iTunes comedy charts (as well as #4 on the Billboard comedy chart) and stayed there for…well…longer than he expected\, honestly.)Additionally\, Gondelman is also the co-author (along with Joe Berkowitz) of the book You Blew It\, published October 2015 by Plume.

His writing has also appeared in prestigious publications such as McSweeney’s Internet Tendency\, New York Magazine\, and The New Yorker. For a while he had his own game show podcast called Make My Day that was a lot of fun. You can still listen to it if you’d like. Why wouldn’t you? It’s new to you. \nThat’s probably more information than you need\, but hey…he did these things and he’s proud of himself\, okay? \n  \n  \n  \nThis show is 21+ \nTwo drink/item minimum per person \nCheck in at least 15 minutes before show
