Tell the cab driver: Barnes & Noble Booksellers in Union Square on 33 East 17th Street

New York Times bestseller and CNN & CBS journalist Anderson Cooper faced a problem we’re all too familiar with: balancing work and family time. After his mother became ill at ninety-one years old, they started sharing blatantly honest e-mails regarding what matters most to them and want they still want to learn. Both hilarious and touching, The Rainbow Comes and Goes captures the unbreakable relationship between a parent and child and helps us realize that no matter your age, there is always reflecting to be done and insight to be learned.

NYC-Teen-Author-FestivalNYC Teen Author Festival 2016

Clear your schedule: March 13-20

Tell the cab driver: It kicks off at 828 Broadway

Millennials called and this 9th annual festival answered. With eight days and over 110 authors, you can be a part of New York City’s biggest YA (young adult) event. Panels of novelists, symposiums and Q&A sessions, oh my! If you think each day will be the same, you are surely mistaken. With themes ranging from “Advice for the Class of ’16,” “With a Different Beat Since You Came Along,” “The Secret YA Lives of Adult Characters,” and “Relationships are Hard” there is something for everyone; even your pickiest of friends will be glad they came along.

With events this good, you’ll wish they had a sequel.
