Happy Octoberversary!

October will mark our 1st anniversary, so let's celebrate it by reading one of the most original novels in ages: Grasshopper Jungle by Andrew Smith.

Dancing in September?

September's book will be Tom Perrotta's The Leftovers. The novel is the inspiration for the current HBO series of the same name. The story focuses on the inhabitants of a small town in New York who are trying to figure out life after a Rapture-like event.

Here is a link to Perrotta's website

Join us on Thursday September 18th at 7pm.

Canceled!

Tonight's meeting has been canceled due to everyone's crazy August schedules. We will reconvene in September. Enjoy the last remaining weeks of summer and stay tuned for next month's book--coming very soon!

August Already

Hard to believe we are already planning August's meeting, but here we are. The last month has flown by, largely due to the World Cup obsession that has been growing, but summer is almost in that winding down stage!!

We will close out summer with The Shining Girls by Lauren Buekes, a thriller with elements of fantasy, a strong female protagonist, and a cruel killer at it's center. Very, very readable.

Here is Lauren's website.

Meet up Thursday August 14th at 7pm!

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!

Here is McHugh's website

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!
