A whole bunch of readings tonight, and one open mic.

Kathy Reichs, who writes the mystery series that is the inspiration for the television show Bones, will be signing at the Seattle Mystery Bookshop and also Third Place Books. If you just want a signed copy of her newest, Devil Bones, you can go to Seattle Mystery Bookshop. They’re not sure if she’ll actually be in attendance—her plane might be late, I guess—so there’s an off chance that they might deliver the books to her hotel room to be signed. If you’d like to see Kathy Reichs (and ask her if David Boreanaz is really that hunky in person,) you should go to Third Place Books, where she’s guaranteed to be in attendance.

Stranger Genius Sherman Alexie will be at the Ballard Branch of the Seattle Public Library, discussing The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. If you haven’t seen him read, you really should go.

At the University Book Store, Priscilla Wald reads from Contagion, which purports to look at “the outbreak narrative.”

And at Arundel Books, Stranger favorite Doug Nufer claims that he will impersonate “a god, a road sign, and a lawyer, among others.” The lovely Maryrose Larkin, who for a while there was blogging poetry about classical music, reads with him.

The full readings calendar, including the next week or so, is here.
