Gene and his good friend and creative collaborator, Thien Pham (Level Up), just started a book club, inspired by their newfound love of YA romance novels. In their first book club get-together, they talk about Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell, a love story of two young people from different worlds. In their discussion, they ask if Eleanor and Park are too young for "true love," would their relationship be different today (the book is set in the 80's), what they think are the three words Eleanor writes on the postcard at the very end of the book — and much more.
How do you get into a new book if you are a slow reader? Gene and Thien share their secrets (for example, Thien says he likes to cast a story's characters for the movie version). Plus, you can enter a chance to win a copy of Eleanor and Park with fan art from Gene and Thien (entry deadline: October 7, 2016). See the video for details.
So grab your snacks, take a seat, and listen in!
