It seems like everything this week is all about the spooky, creepy, terrifying, and partying lead-up to Halloween. If you're not crazy about the ghoulish holiday, or if you prefer to just stay home and get the kiddos dressed up or pass out treats, there are quieter options out there. For the literary or introverted types, book events are always intriguing, whether you have the opportunity to attend a blockbuster writer's signing, or if it's a local or self-published author trying to get their story out. So many stories and undiscovered talents. Take your pick of a few of these happenings over the weekend.
