Watchung Booksellers: The Kids’ Room

The <a href="https://watchungbooksellers.com/events/6384420261112" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Watchung Booksellers Podcast Book Club</a> is back with another live book club recording! For this meetup, we are reading and discussing Marion Winik's The Big Book of the Dead on Thursday, Nov 12 at 7:00 p.m.
In The Big Book of the Dead, Marion Winik brings her humor and wit to that most unavoidable of subjects: death. In short essays, she shares stories about those lost, but in doing so, reveals much about her own life.
Marion will join Kate Tuttle to lead a discussion of the book, and in the spirit of her captivating portraits, we invite guests to submit a short essay of their own. Tickets are $25 and include the book and light refreshments. For details and tickets, visit <a href="https://watchungbooksellers.com/events/6384420261112" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">watchungbooksellers.com</a>.

Come out to view a&nbsp;collection of art pieces by this month's artist-in-residence: <a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.instagram.com/anastasiakrylovaart/&amp;sa=D&amp;source=calendar&amp;ust=1792940888681280&amp;usg=AOvVaw2RH-kg-Ems8FD_StGnyrV9" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Anastasia Krylova</a>! 
Anastasia Krylova is an artist whose work explores themes of connection, transformation, and possibility through vibrant, nature-inspired landscapes, abstract forms, and narrative, symbolic figurative work. Drawing inspiration from the natural world, travel, memory, and the human experience, she creates paintings that invite viewers to pause, reflect, and imagine new ways of seeing themselves and their surroundings.
Central to her practice is the concept of the portal, both as a visual motif and a metaphor for transition, healing, and growth. Her paintings depict imagined landscapes that exist somewhere between memory and dream, and her figurative pieces use symbolism and storytelling to explore similar thresholds of change.
Born in Russia and raised in the United States, Anastasia's artistic perspective has been shaped by moving between cultures, studying abroad in France, and time spent in places around the world. These experiences have fostered a deep appreciation for cultural exchange, interconnectedness, and the universal search for meaning and belonging.
Based in New Jersey, Anastasia is also an educator and the founder of Portal Paint, a series of workshops that combine mindfulness, movement, and intuitive painting to cultivate creativity and self-expression. Through both her artwork and community-based programming, she seeks to create opportunities for reflection, connection, and transformation.
Her work has been exhibited at the Biggs Museum of American Art and in galleries and community art spaces throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.
