Book It

With all the amazing guest bloggers we've had, my posting schedule has been a little scattershot this week. But I wanted to make sure to highlight a few events happening this week, since so many fantastic authors will be in the area.

Tomorrow at noon you'll have a chance to meet Laura Lippman and Denis Lehane at the Charles Commons Conference Center signing their latest works, Hardly Knew Her and The Given Day, respectively.

 The Southeast Anchor branch of the Pratt library is hosting a mystery and romance discussion with Heather Graham and Alexandra Sokoloff. I had the pleasure of hearing Graham's views on the convergence of the mystery and horror at a panel earlier today, and she was a lot of fun. Make sure to ask her about the Lalaurie House in New Orleans; talk about horrific.

 Later that day, Read Street's guest blogger Austin Camacho will be at the Canton branch of the library to discuss his craft. And author Laurie King will moderate a mystery panel at the Orleans Street branch, featuring Frankie Bailey, Charlaine Harris, Gary Phillips and Cara Black.

For those of you who don't live and breathe mystery, breathe books will host Shalom Auslander, author of Foreskin's Lament, on Wednesday.

Some all-time favorites: A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole; Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupery; and anything by Calvin Trillin or John McPhee.
