Better Book Club

Beauty and brains is a winning combination. Throw in some shoes and you’ve got the jackpot.

Launched in 2006 by a collective of five small literary presses, Fictionistas is a cross-Canada reading series for female writers of literary fiction with an added fashion component.

Tonight’s inaugural Calgary event will feature footwear and bags from Luna Blue Shoes. Like a wine and cheese pairing, each of the four authors will be wearing shoes and accessories that have been selected to complement each of their books.

Go for the lit, stay for the shoes.

Fictionistas, 7 p.m. at the Auburn Saloon, free admission, 163, 116 Ninth Ave. SE, Calgary, 403-266-6628.
