Summer is Coming

July's book will be Save Yourself by Kelly Braffet. Trust me when I say this book will surprise you. It has elements straight out of YA, but also brings in family drama, tortured romance, crime thriller aspects, and much more. A fast, addictive read.

We will meet up on July 10th at 7pm.

Here is Kelly's website

Don't forget, you can also sign up for Adult Summer Reading starting June 16th. Register here

the wait for June

June's book will be The Weight of Blood by Laura McHugh. A dark and gripping story about a small town in the Ozarks and two disappearances linked together across decades.

Meet at 7pm, June 12th!

Spring time for horror

This May Get Lit will partner with Haverhill Reads to talk NOS4A2 by Joe Hill. NOS4A2 is the latest bestseller from Hill, and features a spooky story involving a vampire-like predator, a spunky heroine, and the worst Christmas experience ever.

We have lots of copies, so get one today. Also, Joe Hill will be at Haverhill Public Library on May 12th to discuss the book! You can register at www.haverhillpl.org

There are also lots of other fun Haverhill Reads events planned, so sign up now!

Haverhill READS 2014

This May brings Haverhill READS, a chance for the city of Haverhill to share in one book. Our patrons voted this fall and chose Joe Hill's bestseller NOS4A2. The book is creepy and totally readable, very hard to put down. Partially set in Haverhill, NOS4A2 will no doubt inspire some great book discussion.  The weeks of May 12th and 19th we have some great tie-in programming. Please come!

Spring Spring Spring!

April's meeting of Get Lit will be on the 10th. We are reading The Tiger's Wife by Tea Obreht. A well received debut from a young author, The Tiger's Wife tells the complicated story of the former Yugoslavia in different time periods, from different narrators. Here is the NYT Book Review: here
