Read Harder Book Group Recap: April 2016

Jenn Northington

Director, Editorial Operations

Jenn Northington has worked in the publishing industry wearing various hats since 2004, including bookseller and events director, and is currently Director of Editorial Operations at Riot New Media Group. You can hear her on the SFF Yeah! podcast nerding out about sci-fi and fantasy. When she’s not working, she’s most likely gardening, running, or (obviously) reading. Find her on Tumblr at jennIRL and Instagram at iamjennIRL.

This month’s Read Harder Book Groups are sponsored by My Best Friend’s Exorcism by Grady Hendrix.


While New York City, Los Angeles, and Washington D.C. were celebrating World Book Night in April, eight other cities had their regularly scheduled Read Harder Book Group meet-ups. In May, we’re back up to 11 (count ’em) cities, where you can hang out with your fellow readers, get freebies and swag, and figure out what should be next on your TBR list. Thanks to everyone who came out last month, and read on for some photos and recaps!
