New Hampshire Writer's Trail Literary Festival 2008
From October 23-25 2008, the NH Writers' Project celebrated their 20th anniversary by hosting the first ever Portsmouth Literary Festival. RiverRun Bookstore was one of the partners, and had a blast working with the nonprofit organization on an important cultural event. RiverRun featured nationally know authors Brenda Wineapple, Hannah Tinti, and Joe Hill; and local authors participated in panels all around town. The festival was the first of five festivals to take place around the Granite State over the next five years.

The Time Traveler's Wife was an amazing book filled with sadness and happiness. I would consider it one of my favorite books. After I read The Time Traveler's Wife, I read the classic book, Catcher in the Rye. The book is about a boy named Holden who spends three days in New York City. It talks about all of his adventures and memorial experiences. The Catcher in the Rye is a fast read, and definitely a book worth reading!
Charlie St. Cloud is the book I am currently reading. It has an amazing plot and right away you fall in love with the book, and the wonderful relationship between two brothers. My next book is another classic, Lord of the Flies! I’ll tell you how I liked it next week!
Keep on reading!
