We are very excited to have Peter Orner join us for January's installation of Bookswap! His literary mosaic Love and Shame and Love paints a beautiful and intimate portrait of a Chicago family across four generations. With Love and Shame and Love on our minds, and the holidays fresh on our heels, let's dedicate this Bookswap to the Great American Family.

As always, we'll have several rounds of cozy conversation, an open bar and unlimited food, discounts on books for swappers, and the faithful Booksmith staff on hand to keep things lively. The evening will culminate in a rowdy white-elephant swap, so everyone's sure to leave with something they love.

Tolstoy said it best in Anna Karenina: "Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." Bring a book to swap that best depicts the American Family inside your heart. Fiction or nonfiction; anything goes!
