7:00 PM – Jacqueline Carey: Naamah’s Kiss
UW Bookstore, U District
The author signs her much anticipated new novel, featuring a new heroine in the same universe as her previous six Kushiel books. They are all very well done: complex, sexy, layered, with great world building and characterization. I haven’t read Naamah’s Kiss, yet, but I’ve enjoyed the previous books, and I’m looking forward to this one. Only 16 SPL patrons are ahead of me, in queue!

7:30 PM – Roger Thurow & Scott Kilman: Enough: Why the World’s Poorest Starve in an Age of Plenty
Town Hall Seattle, Downstairs
Why are 25,000 people per day dying of hunger, malnutrition, and related diseases, while thousands and thousands of pounds of food are thrown away? How are hunger and famine even possible? If we can ship apples to China and import tomatoes from Argentina, why are people still dying from lack of good food? It’s ridiculous. Learn how to be the change.
