Love books? You’re in good company. The Junior League of Richmond’s 80th Book & Author event is happening Thursday, May 8 at the John Marshall Ballrooms.

Starting at 6 p.m., enjoy an evening of cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, a cash bar, and conversations with nationally known authors discussing their latest books. Fun fact: Past authors include Robert Frost, Mary Higgins Clark, and Emily Henry.
