Has September 21 been declared an official Minion Holiday? Heather Brewer’s brand new book in her to-die-for Vladimir Tod series comes out on September 21. And her birthday (!) is September 21. So, Heather knew there was only one place she wanted to be on September 21: That’s right – Books & Books! Come one Minion, come Minion Hordes – celebrate all the fabulousness that is Heather with a Birthday(s) Bash for The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod: Twelfth Grade Kills (Dutton, $16.99) AND for Heather herself. Party up without LIVE MUSIC from Courtesy of Paco and yummy birthday cake and prizes, too. There’s no better way to sink your teeth into the blood-chilling, darkly humorous final book in the New York Times bestselling series. Vladimir Tod has spent the last four years trying to handle the pressures of high school while sidestepping a slayer out for his blood. Now he’s a senior, and it looks like things have gotten even suckier. The Elysian Council has given him weeks to live, and that’s if the Slayer Society doesn’t kill him and all the citizens of Bathory first. Then there’s the issue of Vlad’s father, who may (or may not) still be alive after all these years. And oh yeah, that tiny little detail in the Pravus prophecy about Vlad enslaving Vampirekind and the human race. Oh, that. Hear all about it on the book’s birthday from the birthday author herself. Sounds like a party even Vlad himself might enjoy! 6pm
