Authors Night...

Last Saturday I attended Authors Night held at the East Hampton Library. It's the literary event of the Hamptons and was held under a huge white tent. The honorary co-chairs were Alec Baldwin, Candace Bushnell and Jay McInerney. This is a great event where you can meet the authors, buy their books and have them signed right there by the author. The books that are bought that day have the proceeds that go to the East Hampton Library as a donation. There were so many authors there, I couldn't believe it!

Alec Baldwin's book was " A Promise To Ourselves", Candace Bushnell's book was "One Fifth Avenue" and Jay McInerney's book was "How It Ended". Some other authors that were there were Countess LuAnn de Lesseps "Class With The Countess", Bethenny Frankel "Naturally Thin", Dan Rattiner "One Year On The Hampton Subway" and Barbara Walters "Audition" just to name a few.

There were also silent auction items that were donated by various vendors and a variety of dinners that you could choose from where you could have dinner with your favorite author and they would speak about different topics. These dinners were themed dinners.

If you would like to know more about this wonderful event you can log onto http://www.authorsnight.org/ and here are a few pics, courtesy of Keri Lamparter, from the event.
