This week is jam-packed. As in, packed with jam. Blackberry jam.
First, there’s a reading Thursday night for the 21 and over crowd at KGB Bar. Bennett Madison, Melissa Walker, Carolyn Mackler and Michael Northrop.
The action starts at 7 p.m. 85 E. 4th Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues. For all you under-21s, I’ll be there with my camera and notebook in hand, so don’t fret.
And ANYWAY, there are totally other things happening this weekend. Like: A huge cast of awesome writers, including Sarah Beth Durst and Claudia Gray, Gail Carson Levine, Scott Mebus and Diana S. Zimmermanwill be reading at Books of Wonder at noon on Saturday. That’s NOON, folks. On Saturday. Which is June 14. Which is when you will be at 18 W. 18th Street, between 5th and 6th Avenues.
NEXT week, Rachel Cohn and Patricia McCormick will be at Barnes and Noble twice. On Tuesday they’re reading at the Greenwich Village location (Sixth Avenue at 8th Street), and on Wednesday they’re reading in Brooklyn (267 7th Ave. in Park Slope).
Whew. I get exhausted just thinking about all these events. But I will be attending at least three of the four — I can’t decide whether to do the Brooklyn reading or the Manhattan one for the lovely Ms. Cohn and Ms. McCormick, but I probably won’t go to both. Methinks Brooklyn might be nice. I mean, how often do folks give readings in my very own borough? Oftener than I think, perhaps, but still. Anyway, I hope to see you at some of these things. I’m the short busty Asian chick, so please come say hi if you see me, yah?
Much love,

Sigh. I wish I lived in New York. It just makes it so so much worse that that’s where I was born
Darn Dad and your job transfer!
Aww, Alea. Don’t worry. You’ll get back here on day. And wherever you live, I’m sure authors come to your town as well. ♥
Actually… I forgot that Mr David Sedaris will be here this weekend, I’m hoping I can swing it so I can go! Since I live in the suburbs nothing usually happens in town so I guess I just need to watch more closely for things happening nearby. Can’t wait to hear about your adventures!
I’m SO jealous. Why don’t any cool people live near me?! The coolest thing I get is the coach of my soccer team. And on the cool-ometer, he’s about 30000000 degrees Celsius.
I really thought this post was going to be about Batman.
Way to crush my spirit, Brina.
Nina, my friend, the minute someone writes a YA novel involving Batman, I’ll be on it. Hillary, dear: There are book readings everywhere, everywhere, everywhere in the country. I swear! You just need to check the schedules of your local bookstores, especially if there are any that have a good YA section.
