Massachusetts Book Bites

May 22, 2021
On May 22, 2021 at 4pm, the Boston Book Festival teamed up with Massachusetts Center for the Book for another bonanza day of local literature, featuring authors from across the Commonwealth, in all genres, introducing readers to their latest books in a fast-paced series of bite-sized videos. We collaborated on the first Mass Book Bites in November 2020, and we had so much fun we did it again! Thank you to Massachusetts Center for the Book and Massachusetts Cultural Council for their support of this event!
The full lineup for this spring’s celebration of local lit is below; check out the links to purchase their books on Bookshop.org (a portion of your purchase benefits the BBF!) and watch the final videos for this fun and free virtual event!
