Books
Teen lit queen, Libba Bray
Checkin’ in with: Our interview with teen writing phenom Libba Bray. Comments (5).
Drink up
Books: “Imbibe!: From Absinthe Cocktail to Whiskey Smash, a Salute in Stories and Drinks to ‘Professor’ Jerry Thomas, Pioneer of the American Bar,” is an awfully long name for a book when you’re sober. And after a few drinks, it becomes next to impossible. Comment.
‘Grave’ event
Books: Where’s the best place to hold a reading from the new murder mystery, “Graving Dock”? An actual graving dock, of course. Comment.
We be stylin’
Books: We’ve had hip-hop on our stereo for years now, but on Nov. 3, it will be invading our bookshelf. “The Breaks: Stylin’ and Profilin’ 1982–1990,” a new coffee table book by famed hip-hop photographer Janette Beckman, unearths classic shots of that era’s most significant players, from Slick Rick and Grandmaster Flash to Tone Loc and the Beastie Boys.  Comment.
Get lit
Books: Some of the greatest writers of our day live in Brooklyn, but it’s far too rare that talents hailing from elsewhere make the borough a stop on their book tours. With BAM’s “Eat Drink and Be Literary” festival, that’s all about to change. Comment.
Moore controversy
Books: Put down that Starbucks, get decked in your edgiest duds and head to Williamsburg’s Ad Hoc Art on Nov. 14 for a faux focus group celebrating the release of Anne Elizabeth Moore’s new book “Unmarketable: Brandalism, Copyfighting, Mocketing, and the Erosion of Integrity.” Comment.
Bard girl
Books: In her debut novel, “Among Other Things, I’ve Taken Up Smoking,” Prospect Heights resident Aoibheann Sweeney turns Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” on its head with a modern interpretation. Her protagonist, Miranda, shares a name with the Bard’s character, but is raised on an island off of Maine, not Italy, and instead of running off to Milan, she sets her sights on New York. Comment.
Separated twins Paula Bernstein and Elyse Schein
Checkin’ in with: Two twins, separated at birth, are reunited in Brooklyn. Comments (6).
Book it
Books: We hope you did your summer reading because on Sept. 16, the second annual Brooklyn Book Festival is hitting town. Comment.
Hynes reads them his writes
Books: Brooklyn District Attorney Charles “Joe “ Hynes thinks he is wielding a new, extra-legal deterrent against police corruption — his debut novel. Comment.

Making book on the water
Brooklyn South: A used-book store on Columbia Streets needs a new partner. Only book lovers need apply! Comment.
Gale force reading
Books: Brooklyn’s favorite romance author gives us tips on sultry summer reading. Comment.
Gabriel Cohen
Checkin’ in with: Ditmas Park author and reading series founder chats with GO Brooklyn. Comment.
If it ain’t “Broke”
Books: “Leaves of Grass” is great and all, but how long can Brooklyn hang its hat on one epic poem? Comment.
Masha Hamilton
Checkin’ in with: Do you love your favorite book enough to, well, let it go? Masha Hamilton hopes so. Comment.
‘Love’ em or Lethem
Books: Boerum Hill’s prodigal son returns with his new Brooklyn-free novel. Comment.
Dirty words
Books: Former Nerve.com sexpert Grant Stoddard comes clean to GO Brooklyn about his checkered past. Comment.
Tattle’s tale
Books: “It’s an enchanting lifestyle,” Michael Musto, veteran gossip columnist for the Village Voice, said of his existence, and it’s no joke. Comments (1).
Book mark: Dine with famous authors at BAM
Books: Eat Drink & Be Literary Festival returns to the Brooklyn Academy of Music on Jan. 11 with Pete Hamill, Kurt Andersen and more literary lions. Comment.
