Sarah Michelle Gellar

READING: MELISSA BANK

Monday: Although her work has often been tagged with the Chick Lit label, author Melissa Bank doesn’t quite fit the mold. Bank’s take on single, young women figuring out how to deal with growing up, is smart, intriguing and, more often than not, dead on. Bank is touring in support of the paperback release her most recent novel ’The Wonder Spot.’ She’s best known for bestseller ’Girls’ Guide to Hunting and Fishing,’ which is currently being made into a movie starring Sarah Michelle Gellar and Alec Baldwin. 7 p.m.; University of Minnesota Bookstore, Coffman Memorial Union, 300 Washington Ave. S.E., Mpls.; free; 612-625-6000.
