All weekend Valentine's weekend\, independent booksellers around Seattle and its environs will be hosting children's book authors and illustrators to celebrate "\;Kids [Heart] Books."\; (There's supposed to be a nifty little heart there between kids and hearts\, but I'm technologically challenged today....)
\;
Please come to Queen Anne Books on Sunday February 14 at 2\:00 for stories with beloved author Nancy White Carlstrom. She's the creator of the delightful "\;Jesse Bear"\; series\, and her latest books are "\;It's Your First Day of School\, Annie Claire"\; and "\;Mama\, Will it Snow Tonight?"\;
We'll have treats\, and if the kids want to\, we could even make some homemade Valentines.
For more about Nancy's books and work\, please see her website\: http\://www.nancywhitecarlstrom.com/

Jennifer Carroll\, owner of Bellefleur Lingerie in Fremont and co-author of Underneath It All\, will share her knowledge about that most crucial of layers\: the one closest to your skin. Yes\, I'm talkin' undies and bras (and slips and tangas and all those other things that can be lacy\, racy\, supportive\, and sexy).
Learn how the proper undergarments can make you feel your best!
Jennifer will bring some samples and examples. We'll bring the chocolate. You? Just bring yourself! (And friends are always welcome-- this would be a great start to a ladies' night out\, don't you think?)

Discuss How the Dead Dream by Lydia Millet with our drop-in\, no-guilt Book Mixer group.
We meet every other month\, usually the last Saturday at 8\:00pm.
Our book choices tend to be a little edgier than the traditional book
club fare\, and our discussions are focused yet fun. After about an hour
talking about the book\, most of us head to a bar or restaurant to
socialize. This helps us spend our book club time talking openly and
in-depth about the book\, then gives us a great opportunity to bond with
fellow readers afterwards.
Everyone is welcome to take part in the discussion\, and all are
encouraged to join us for social time after\, too. Remember\, they're
Saturday nights starting at 8\:00.
