The poetry slam is tonight, along with two thrillers and a parenting book.

First, we’ve got Jason Pinter at Third Place Books with The Guilty (which I can’t believe has not been a John Grisham book title yet), about someone assassinating sleazy New York Celebrities.

Then, Ceridwen Dovey is at Elliott Bay Book Company with the super-originally named thriller, Blood Kin. The Amazon page for Blood Kin quotes Vogue as saying that it’s “Part erotic thriller, part menacing political allergory(sic.)” If you like your political allergories menacing, you know where to go.

Jennifer Fox is at Town Hall with Your Child’s Strengths, which has the disturbing subtitle Discover Them, Develop Them, Use Them. The tour page for the book has this disclaimer, which you teachers out there might want to pay attention to: “We have arranged it so that in the cities where a presentation takes places(sic), teachers can receive one unit hour for professional development by attending the event. We will have the forms for you at the event. ” So there’s that.

Full readings calendar, including the next week or so, here.

But did you think about the fact that "Blood Kin" is an anagram for "Kind Lobo"? Betcha didn't. Think about it.
