Weekenders, it’s time to get busy. For your island enjoyment, we recommend:

Literary powwow time: Eagle Harbor Book Company hosts it annual Book Group Night at 7 p.m. tonight and unveils the top pick of the year. Enjoy refreshments and free books, plus curated reading selections from Paul Constant and Martin McClellan of the online lit mag “The Seattle Review of Books.”

“The Lady in the Van” opens Friday at Lynwood Theater. This “basically true” film by Nicholas Hytner uncovers the quirky story of a woman (Maggie Smith) who “temporarily” parks her van in a man’s driveway, and then proceeds to live there for 15 years. Affordable housing woes, ya know? Showtimes and tix here.

You snoozed and probably losed if you didn’t already buy tickets to Space Craft’s already sold-out Friday double header featuring the band Joseph and singer-songwriter Corey Kilgannon.

Woman is a verb. If you’re not so sure, don’t come to the reading of “Raising Lilly Ledbetter: Women Poets Occupy the Workplace” at Eagle Harbor Book Co. at 3 p.m. Sunday. Better not rile up the underpaid feminists. Carolyne Wright, Holly Hughes, Lynn Coffin and Mary Ellen Talley will share selections from the anthology. “These are the poems of the heavy-lifters, night-shifters, line and piece workers, writing with grace and often with humor: poets who punch clocks, woman the phones and decks, weave, weld and can, cotton-pick and cold call, thread-spin, typeset and teach. They sex-work, they ship-build, plaster and preach, butcher and drive the bus. This is anthology as page-turner, as fist in the air, as do-it-yourself manual against despair.” (Carolyn Forché)
