Evening Book Group (Tigard Public Library, @7:00pm): The Tigard Library evening book group will discuss The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie.  C. Alan Bradley’s debut novel is a mystery set in Great Britain in the 1950s, featuring a charming and diabolically intelligent young sleuth. Registration is not required and new members are always welcome.

Elizabeth Kostova (Powells City of Books, @7:30pm): The Swan Thieves (Little Brown and Co.), the eagerly anticipated new novel from Elizabeth Kostova, bestselling author of The Historian, is a story of obsession, history’s losses, and the power of art to preserve human hope. It travels from American cities to the coast of Normandy, from the late 19th century to the late 20th, from young love to last love. “The luxurious artistic detail and richly drawn characters will pull in readers, who will be hard-pressed to stop turning pages,” cheers Library Journal (starred review).

Garrison Keillor (Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, @7:30pm, $25 and up): The Oregon Symphony hosts the much loved radio host of A Prairie Home Companion. Keillor walks and talks the best of Americana. His masterful storytelling about life in the Midwest paints pictures that range from grade-school crushes, growing up in a low thermostat household, to the wonderful cast of folks populating his beloved Lake Wobegon.
