The Bad Kitty Book Club
The Bad Kitties are a group of fun-loving younger Seattle-area women with razor wits, a taste for frosty beverages, leopard-skin attire and designer handbags... oh, and they read. Yes, really. Meet the Bad Kitties.
Their meetings include brief visits to our bookstore, comparison of outfits, discussion of recent reads, consumption of chocolate... followed shortly thereafter by a move to a trendy, nearby establishment where adult beverages are served. Their patron saint is Jen Lancaster, author of Bright Lights, Big Ass. Join us for THE NEXT MEETING OF THE BAD KITTY BOOK CLUB, Tuesday, May 5, 2009 7:00pm 1001 1st Ave. in Downtown Seattle for a very special event...
Bad Kitty Book Club Cinco de Mayo Party
The Bad Kitties can *barely* contain their excitement for the fourth book by club patron saint, Jen Lancaster. Jen's book "Pretty in Plaid: A Life, a Witch, and a Wardrobe, or, the Wonder Years Before the Condescending, Egomaniacal, Self-Centered Smart Ass Phase", comes out on May 5th, 2009, and for the first time in hardcover!
Oh, and of course there will be an amazing assortment of chocolate truffles.

Our Current Staff Pick:
Russian Roulette / The Sign of the Gun by Todd Moore.
Seattle, Spankstra Press, 2005. Price $9.90
Todd Moore is the author of over a hundred books and chapbooks. His work
has appeared in The Outlaw Bible of American Poetry, Drinking with Bukowski
as well as thousands of journals and periodicals. His long poem Dillinger
[estimated at a quarter of a million words and counting] is destined to
become an American classic, once it is finished. He lives in Albuquerque,
NM where he co-edits the quarterly St. Vitus Dance with his son Theron.
Two book-length excerpts (each over 50 pages) from Moore's long poem "Dillinger"; episodic fantasies in short- lined free verse concerning the American bank robber's life and times, set from the manuscript (hand-typed on a 1937 Corona) and printed dos-a-dos on the same pages (with the jacket and wrappers also printed dos-a-dos). The two books, though complementary in nature, can be read independently.
Signed by Moore in black ink on both title pages (front and rear). One of only 74 trade copies signed by author Todd Moore. Unusual and "spanking"-new production of the press, this is a unique and entertaining answer to a vexing issue in book design.
