Books Reading Tonight
posted by on July 22 at 10:10 AM
The air outside The Stranger’s offices smell like boiling hot dog water for some reason. Let’s see what’s going on tonight in readings, shall we?
J.A. Jance is doing two readings today, at Seattle Mystery Bookshop and at Third Place Books. I’ve never read a J.A. Jance book, and if I were to read one, it would not be the one she’s promoting today, because this book is from her non-Seattle-based series. But if you wanted to attend a J.A. Jance reading, I would suggest attending the earlier one at Seattle Mystery Bookshop, because a portion of the sales will go to a charity to fight cancer.
The Hugo House is hosting something called Band of Poets. John Burgess, Jed Myers and David Rizzi, who are all poets, will read “with special guest poet Debra McElroy.” I have not read any of these poets, which is slightly embarrassing to admit.
And lastly, at Bailey/Coy Books, Stephanie Keuhnert and Corrina Wycoff will read. Kuehnert will read from I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone, which is a novel about a young woman growing up punk. Local author Wycoff reads from O Street, which is a collection of linked stories about a young woman coming of age. Wycoff chooses songs for a playlist to accompany her book here. This is the reading of the night, and you should go.
The full readings calendar, including the next week or so, is here.
Hmm. There's some other good readings at the U Bookstore, especially Connie Willis.
I didn't know you were Korean.
Somehow, it never occurred to me that The Stranger would have/need actual office space. So Stranger/Slog staffers actually show up in an office and sit at desks, like actual working people?
@2: ?
@1: I don't see Connie Willis, but you're right: Sheree Thomas is reading at the U Book Store. From their website:
Dark Matter is a great book. Sorry I missed this one in the calendar.
