Local Literature

Gather up the good reads, because winter's coming.

November 12, 2013

Brrrr. Days like today are best spent in a comfy chair with a book in hand, plus the requisite cup of coffee and spare throw within reach. Should I be allowed to complain? Definitely not, since we're still in the depths of fall and have more than a month to go before winter blows through.

With that in mind, I'm going to need a lot more to read.

Just in time for chilly days and chillier nights, the Association of Rhode Island Authors is hosting its first-ever Rhode Island Authors Expo from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on November 16 at Courthouse Center of the Arts in West Kingston.
