Upcoming Book Readings

If you become aware of or are attending an upcoming book reading or event by or about women authors that you think will be of interest to other members, share it here.

Also, this LA times article on the behind-the-scenes reality of book tours from the authors' perspectives is amusing, short enough, and educational depending on where life has led you to-date.

Margaret Wilkerson Sexton (author of ) has a new novel coming out, The Revisioners and while there aren't any locations or dates on her own site, she's in Chapel Hill November 12, so it's worth checking the calendars at your own local bookstores to see if she's touring near you.

I'm going to an Erin Morgenstern event on the 25th of Nov in Edinburgh. Looking forward to it a ridiculous amount.

Also, if anyone happens to be in Aberdeen on Friday the 15th Nov, there's an event at Waterstones with the author Mairi Kidd discussing the wonderfully titled Warriors and Witches and Damn Rebel Bitches: Scottish Women to Live Your Life By, which sounds very relevant to the interests of this group.
