Weekend Werewolves and the D.C. Book Fest

Looking for some weekend literary excitement? We’ve got you covered. Tonight the 92YTribeca in Manhattan features a night of werewolf love, co-hosted by the authors of the book,”The Werewolf’s Guide to Life: a Manual for the Newly-bitten.”

Here’s more about the event: “The 2-hour video variety show features famous werewolves (and lesser-known lycanthropes) from monster movies, Saturday Morning cartoons, 70s biker flicks, a vintage view-master reel, a TV mystery (written by the creator of The Sopranos) and other footage you won’t find on YouTube or Netflix.”

For book-lovers in Washington D.C., tomorrow is the Library of Congress National Book Festival, gathering book-lovers from around the country at the National Mall–running between 7th and 14th streets. The show lasts from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and interested readers can text “BOOK” on their mobile phones to 61399 to subscribe to festival news and information about author presentations and signing schedules. Find the festival on Twitter (hashtag #nbf) and Facebook.
