There’s a lot going on for a Sunday. At Borders, two mystery authors will read. One writes month-themed, humorous mysteries. This one is called Knee High by the Fourth of July. And also, there’s a book called—yawn—Murder For Hire. But MFH’s author “is an ex-B movie actress with a background in theatrical sword fighting.” Zing!

At Secret Garden, John Sensel reads from his children’s book The Humming of Numbers, which is about a monk falling in love.

And at Third Place Books, Shaila Catherine reads from Focused and Fearless, which, according to Third Place Books’ website, is “a rich step-by-step guide to the jhanas—a powerful meditative technology that leads us to fearless and deep joy, radiant clam(sic) and a truly abiding happiness.” Radiant clam! This has to be the best reading of the day.

Full readings calendar, including the next week or so, is up for your perusal.
