NBD. In other celebrity news, check out Chuckanut Radio Hour. Our favorite events tip: People shouldn’t be calling to ask if there’s an author event tonight, they should be calling to ask what the event tonight is. (hat tip to the fine folk at Elliott Bay Book Company [Kim pumps her fists in victory, even though she has absolutely nothing to do with events at EBBC]) Originally posted by mtv   So, yeah, you should check out Village Books’ event schedule, ‘cause it’s pretty great. Chapter II   [33:37] In Which Sam Builds Us His Wheelhouse, Discusses e-Reading, and Emma and Kim think dedicated e-readers are necessary for e-reading. You can buy one here.    [sign from @wordbookstores​] Kim can’t count. “A novel trying to answer big difficult questions and not necessarily succeeding but at least giving it a go.” = 19 words, not 16, but Sam still succeeded in the 20 Word Wheelhouse Challenge   Emma will read anything blurbed by Kelly Link. Sam will read things blurbed or compared to George Saunders or Sara Vowell. Also books about musicians. (Emma recs Rob Sheffield.
