 | Nicola Griffith Nov 11 | What is it? Two wonderful Seattle authors per table in a large room with their latest books in front of them—lovely people like Claire Dederer, Alice Wong, Deb Caletti, Timothy Egan, Erica Bauermeister, Kenji López-Alt, Ken Jennings, and so many more I can't list them all. And me, of course. Tom from Phinney Books says, "It's two fun and fairly frenzied hours that bring Seattle's fabulous readers together with some of Seattle's most beloved writers." All the Details - Author readings every 15 minutes:
- 2:00 Kenji López-Alt
- 2:15 Nicola Griffith
- 2:30 Ken Jennings
- 2:45 Sonora Jha
- 3:00 Claire Dederer
- 3:15 Erica Bauermeister
- 3:30 Jane Wong
- 3:45 BFI Youth
- The youth tutoring center BFI hosting Bookmaker's Space, where kids can make and take home a mini-zine and writers of all ages can contribute to the Comically Large Book that will be written during the event
- The Books to Prisoners program will have a table in the lobby collecting good used books. "What we can always use are some fiction categories (fantasy, horror, urban, paranormal romance, men's adventure) as well as coloring books for grownups, national geographics, travel, sports, fitness, and self-help of all kinds." Hardcover or softcover.
The Bestest Bookfest This is a lovely daytime holiday event stuffed with local authors and their books all in benevolent holiday mood (because we get free cookies and cider beforehand 😊) and a portion of the day's profits will be donated to BFI and the PNA. So I hope you'll mark your calendars and come and spend an insane amount of money on signed, personalised books for yourself and all your friends—all while basking for two hours in the company of people who read and write, sell and share, talk about and cherish books. | | | |  | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
