What: Word of South

Details: Word of [South], a festival of literature and music, is a unique blend of writers and musicians and an exploration of the relationship between the two disciplines. Beginning with our first festival in 2015, the festival showcases authors who write about music, musicians who also are authors, authors and musicians trading places, and everything in between. I will be interviewing author Lauren Groff and taping a segment of the podcast. More information here.

What: Summer Reading Guide + UnboxingÂ
When: May 16 at 1 and 8:30 pm EDT

To kick things off, we’ll host two Unboxing Parties on May 16 at 1:00pm and 8:30pm EDT. We look forward to this event every year: in a 90+ minute live session, I share every title in the guide and why I chose it. Our conversation is casual and unscripted, filled with real talk about great books, in the presence of people who love books and reading. A replay will be available.
