Massachusetts Book Bites
May 22, 2021
On May 22, 2021, the Boston Book Festival is teaming 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’re doing it again!
