Today’s Featured Book Event:

Chelsea Handler Booksigning (Powells City of Books, @3:00pm): In the hilarious new book from Chelsea Handler, author of Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea, the comedian mines the wealth of material that is her family, her sex life, and her distinctively outrageous worldview. Life doesn’t get more hilarious than when Handler takes aim with her irreverent wit. With Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang (Grand Central), Handler delivers one laugh-out-loud moment after another as she sets her sights on the ridiculous side of childhood, adulthood, and daughterhood. Please note: This is a booksigning only. The author will not read from her work.

Other Book Events Today:

Cheeky Pages Romance Book Group (Powells Books at Cedar Hills Crossing, @2:00pm): This month we meet to discuss Lessons in French by Laura Kinsale. Join us!

The Butcher and the Vegetarian (Powells City of Books, @7:30pm): In The Butcher and the Vegetarian (Rodale), Tara Austen Weaver puts a chick-lit spin on Michael Pollan as she chronicles her transformation from lifelong vegetarian to cautious meat-eater. Weaver explores whether it’s possible to be an ethical meat eater, which lifestyle is better for the environment, and whether there’s any chance of going back once you’ve tried bacon.
