Edwidge Danticat reads this afternoon at Elliott Bay Book Company. Danticat, who should be on your shortlist of favorite authors, will read from her new book Create Dangerously: The Immigrant Artist at Work.

And tonight at Pilot Books, we have Joshua Baldwin and Robert Baird. Baldwin is the author of Poems and Fake Book Reviews. He will be reading fake book reviews at this reading. (You mean the books don't have to actually exist? My job just got a whole lot easier.)

Finally, this is your last chance to go and watch The Novel: Live! being written live at the Hugo House. It ends tonight at 6 pm. You can find the schedule of participating authors here.

The full readings calendar, including the next week or so, is here. And if you're planning on staying in and you're looking for personalized book recommendations, feel free to tell me the books you like and ask me what to read next over at Questionland.
