Skylight Books is Skrink-la-da-doo!
There's so much to do and see this weekend, we don't know where to start. Well, actually we do. This LAist is going to spending lots of quality time at Skylight Books in Los Feliz as they have some eclectic readings and panels we (and you) don't want to miss.
Tonight, that party monster, Wow Report contributor and eternal club kid, James St James, explains it all for you, along with Jennifer Blowdryer, Clint Catalyst, Leonora Claire and Alvin Orloff to sign their latest book, Good Advice for Young Trendy People from Manic D Press.
It's sure to be an eyeful and educational good time.

Then it's Ladies Night on Saturday as the book store hosts a panel on "Beyond Chick-Lit: Busting the Stereotypes and Publishing Limitations of Women Who Write," featuring an amazing line-up of female fiction writers in LA, including Janet Fitch (who we haven't seen around lately, so we're thrilled by this appearance), Susan Straight, Kate Gale, Nina Revoyr and Leslie Schwartz.
