Grub Street Book Party with Amy MacKinnon & Brunonia Barry

Come help us celebrate the release of two wonderful (and deservedly-hyped) summer blockbusters at Porter Square Books: Grub board member Amy MacKinnon’s nail-biting, atmospheric, and haunting novel, Tethered, and friend of Grub, Brunonia Barry’s captivating and sumptuous mystery, The Lace Reader. These two novels are sure to keep you up late for the rest of the summer. After the reading, join the Grubbies for appetizers and drinks at a local restaurant.

Launch Party at Buttonwood Books

Come celebrate a dream come true, my very first reading at my very favorite independent bookstore.  Thanks so much to Betsey Detwiler, Totsie McGonagle, and the staff of Buttonwood Books for all of their support over the years.
