Note to Bay Area book-lovers: Litquake hits town October 1-9. Most events are in San Francisco, but Litquake on the Lake on October 6 brings authors Melanie Abrams, Elaine Beale, Lucy Jane Bledsoe, Jacqueline Luckett, Lisa Braver Moss and Kristin McCloy to the Lake Chalet on Lake Merritt. A $5-$10 donation to Litquake entitles you to order from the restaurant’s low-price happy hour menu all night long. Complete details on this and other events at litquake.org.
