Here are some upcoming author signings and book events in the Chicago area and northwest suburbs! I tried to find as many free programs as I could, but for most of the author signings on this list, you have to buy a copy of the author's featured book to get in.

I will be attending this event, but you won't know who I am if I go-- it'll be like Where's Waldo except I won't be wearing a red-and-white striped sweater, and my name is not Waldo.
