April 27, 2009 — What's new this week


Hooks Book Events has another great week ahead with some very interesting events lined up. Bill Gates Sr. will be in town this week for two private events with us! He will be discussing his new book, Showing Up For Life-Thoughts on The Gifts of a Lifetime.

We are thrilled that our pal, Bill Brands is flying up for Texas for a special event at the Woodrow Wilson House in DC where we will have a house tour and a conversation with Bill on his 2003 biography, Woodrow Wilson, coauthored by the late and great Arthur Schlesinger. We are looking forward to seeing Bill again and we are hoping to get a new and better perspective on Wilson whose treatment of the American Suffragettes reminds us of the Taliban!

HBE will then dash to a private SALON with Cokie Roberts at our friend, Joy’s house. A tented tea party awaits for 150 women and we are thrilled to be with Cokie again. This time she will be discussing the revised, 10th Anniversary Edition of We Are Our Mother’s Daughters-a perfect gift for Mother’s Day. Cokie will then head to a private talk with the Washington Business Journal and the Board of Trade for an event with some amazing DC area women businesswomen.

Reminders: Lee Woodruff with be at the Four Seasons in Georgetown on May 19th! Tickets are still available so email us at tickets@hooksbookevents.com for more information or to reserve your spot. Remember, we will be donating a portion of the proceeds to www.remind.org!.
