• Here's is a last-minute event that just delivered itself to our attention: Horizon Books, the used bookstore on Capitol Hill that recently closed, is now having a grand re-opening sale on Friday from 6 to 10 pm. The Facebook invite says:

Friends! Horizon Books is proud to re-open it's doors. We'd love to invite friends, community members and book lovers of all stripes to come and celebrate our re-opening party and sale. Come say hi to Don, Dave or Brandon, and see the new lay out.

For the one night only, everything under $20 will be %50 off, and include a huge range of free, dollar, $3 and $5 books, with the hope of clearing enough space to start shuffling off some dust, and clearing a few extra boxes out of the way.

• Horizon will have a sale for the whole month of October, so drop by and see what they've got onhand.

• Remember: Seattle Mystery Bookshop is closing forever on Saturday, September 30th. Go and say goodbye to one of the best bookstore staffs that Seattle has ever seen. We've been writing about Seattle Mystery Bookshop since the very beginning of our site, and we've always been in awe of their bookselling ability. I'll miss them very much.
