She made a name for herself on social media with her inspiring captions-cum-essays about bravery, identity, nature, and subverting expectations. She lives in Utah and Orgeon and wherever the road takes her, so long as her five dogs Bucket, Dagwood, Birdie, Banjo, and Delilah are in the backseat. Her previous books, Nowhere for Very Long and Never Leave the Dogs Behind, were New York Times bestsellers.By purchasing a book from BookPeople, you are not only supporting a local, independent business – you’re showing publishers that they should continue sending authors to BookPeople.Thank you for supporting Brianna Madia and your local independent bookstore! - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/austin/bookpeople-presents-brianna-madia-homesick-nomad/100001983549383602 - **Event Categories**: Art, literary-art, Entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 34.02, max: 34.02, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Austin - **state**: TX - **country**: United States - **location**: BookPeople - **lat**: 30.271987 - **long**: -97.7530036 - **full address**: BookPeople, 603 North Lamar Boulevard, Austin, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: BookPeople Presents: Brianna Madia - Homesick Nomad - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/b1e49a1c4bece27b5efca0eb63dc97fdfad9109b81fa1c0e55db489d4b33cd33-rimg-w1200-h600-dc141530-gmir.jpg?v=1771777878 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is BookPeople Presents: Brianna Madia - Homesick Nomad being held? - **A:** BookPeople Presents: Brianna Madia - Homesick Nomad takes place on Mon, 04 May, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Mon, 04 May, 2026 at 08:00 pm at BookPeople, 603 North Lamar Boulevard, Austin, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing BookPeople Presents: Brianna Madia - Homesick Nomad? - **A:** BookPeople Presents: Brianna Madia - Homesick Nomad is organized by BookPeople. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at BookPeople's events? - **A:** Attendees have given BookPeople a rating of 5/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
