Read Harder Book Group Recap: May 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 Last Call at the Nightshade Lounge by Paul Krueger.


We gathered, we talked books, we drank, we ate pie. (Well, some groups did the latter two, but all of us did the first two!) In case you missed it, every month the Read Harder Book Groups meet in 11 cities around North America and the UK. If you’ve read a book ever (any book! whenever!) you are welcome to join us. Here’s a recap of May; mark your calendars for June.
