Due to the enormous size of this list, I only show events about four weeks in advance. There is also a master calendar that has all listings.
Bookstores in this list may include:
A Great Good Place For Books (Oakland)
Barnes & Noble (various Bay Area Locations)
Books Inc. (various Bay Area Locations)
Borderlands Books (San Francisco)
Copperfield's Books (Various Locations)
East Bay Booksellers (Oakland)
Green Apple Books (San Francisco)
Hicklebee's Children's Books (San Jose)
Kepler's Books (Menlo Park)
Mrs. Dalloway's (Berkeley)
Orinda Books (Orinda)
Pegasus Books (Berkeley & Oakland)
Point Reyes Bookstore (Point Reyes)
Rakestraw Books (Danville)
The Booksmith (San Francisco)
Town Center Books (Pleasanton)
I am attempting to make this a one stop place to find book signings in the San Francisco Bay Area! I will mostly focus on YA books, but I will also include some general fiction if I think it will be of interest. I do not list non-fiction books (There are simply too many events of those to list). I think this is an extensive list, but there is always the possibility that I missed an event (Hey, I'm human). If you think there is an event that I should include, please leave me a note in the comments section. Thanks.
All book graphics have links to GoodReads so you can check them out.
As always, it is a good idea to call the store a day or two before to confirm that the scheduled event is still on. I have learned that these events change constantly.

Unbound Feet Collective Reunion
Chinese American Women Poets
This historic reading, Unbound Feet Collective Reunion: Chinese
American Women Poets, Genny Lim, Kitty Tsui, Nellie Wong, Canyon Sam and
special guest emcee Jade Cho, celebrates the 35th anniversary reunion of these pioneer poets,
who broke ground as members of the writing collective, Unbound Feet,
established in 1981. Their work challenged the gender stereotypical
roles of Asian women in society and addressed issues of sexual as well
as racial oppression, forging a pathway for Asian American feminists
today.
