The name is catchy and the confirmed attendees are certainly interesting: the first annual Books That Changed My Life Festival is scheduled to kick off at the JCC in Manhattan this Thursday and run all the way through February 28.
You can find the full line-up of events right here, including a conversation between author Felicia Kornbluh and Sex and the City star and former nominee for New York governor Cynthia Nixon.
Former first daughter of the United States of America Chelsea Clinton is also scheduled to sit down with author Abigal Pogrebin to talk about her latest book, Welcome to the Big Kids Club.
In addition to notable guests, the two-month-long festival will host a pop-up library, a slew of interactive events, film screenings, live concerts and more.
