Readers, writers, and everyone else is invited to join us for Calkins Day 2023.
Calkins Day will be held this year from 6 to 8 p.m. on Feb. 13 (Calkins Day, what else) at The Book Market in Crest Hill, 2365 Plainfield Road.
Precise details on the festivities are forthcoming.
In the meantime, we have plenty of information to help you prepare, enough information to keep you busy and entertained until Calkins Day.
For anyone who is not familiar (yet) with Calkins Day, read our Guide to Becoming Un-Serious right here.
This post has all the details: why we celebrate, what we celebrate, how to celebrate, what to wear, foods associated with the holiday, and why Calkins Day is not an excuse to sell books.

Calkins Day 2021 was a hilarious Zoom chat (by Ed Calkins' request) and a "viralish" book giveaway.
Ed Calkins is the author of Ruthless and Denise M. Baran-Unland's Irish Genealogy. Ed Calkins is currently working on his second novel.
Ed Calkins has appeared as the alive and undead version of himself in all three books of the original "drop of blood" trilogy: Bryony, Visage and Staked!.
But Calkins' favorite BryonySeries book is this one.
