Book Party of the Year

Tomorrow night's your chance to rub elbows with the Montclair literati, throw back a Cosmopolitan or three, and put on your best Dorothy Parker imitation. MEWS, or Montclair Editors and Writers, is holding a mega book party Wednesday night at the Diva Lounge to celebrate all the local authors who've had new books out this year. You can also pick up some holiday gifts and have them signed. The party starts at 7. Open to everyone, free admission, cash bar. Here's the list of authors whose books will be on hand.
