by Stephanie C., Main Library  You may not know this, but Utah is home to a lot of Young Adult authors. Did you know that authors Ally Condie, Brandon Sanderson, Dan Wells, and Mackenzi Lee all live here? They do! And there are so many more! A pretty great perk of living in Salt Lake City is that just about every month there is a young adult author hosting a book launch, signing, or reading. In some cases the events require a paid ticket, but many events are free. If you like hearing authors speak, the King's English Bookshop hosts several author events throughout the year, and they haven't stopped just because of the pandemic. Their next exciting virtual event is tomorrow night, with YA author Yamile Saied Méndez! Yamile also lives in Utah and has just released the Young Adult book Furia. You can hear all about Furia by watching this review video by Yoli from the Marmalade Branch. To attend the virtual event, visit the event page on the King's English website and click the registration link in red. Yamile will be in conversation with another YA author, Ann Dee Ellis, author of The End or Something Like That and other books. You can request a library copy of Furia from the City Library catalog by clicking here.
