If you've read a short story - or collection - you'd like to share, let us know!
We're reading as fast as we can, and knitting too.

KnitLit READS is changing its schedule and will now meet on the THIRD Thursday of every month, beginning on Thursday, September 20, at 7 p.m.

We will continue to meet at the InterFaith Bookstore of Amherst (formerly L.A.O.S.) in the Carriage Shops at 233 No. Pleasant Street, Amherst.

Our space is now a lovely small gallery with a new exhibit each month, and I look forward to seeing you there.

Until then, I'm enjoying the last of summer and hope you are, too.

Just to let you know that we'll resume KnitLit READS in September. This summer, our room at the Interfaith Bookstore of Amherst (formerly L.A.O.S.) has been transformed into a beautiful gallery.

If you'd like a preview, it's on the Art Walk of Amherst, and will be open this Thursday, August 2, 5-8 p.m. Sculptor Ian Childers is the featured artist for August.

I hope you're having a lovely summer, and look forward to seeing you in the fall.

Our next KnitLit READS selection is from What to Wear to See the Pope, a new collection of stories by Christine Lehner.
Richard Russo (Empire Falls) says, "Perhaps the most haunting, idiosyncratic, gleefully subversive, and satisfying story collection I've read since Isak Dinesen's Seven Gothic Tales."

Thursday, May 24, 7 p.m. for reading, knitting and snacking.

Last night we read "Laws of Nature", the final story in the new collection, Tourist Season, by Enid Shomer.

And munched.

And - of course - KNIT!

Look forward to seeing you next month, Thursday, May 24 at 7 p.m.

I'm pleased to announce the next short story collection we'll read at the monthly KnitLit READS, April 26, 7 p.m. at the L.A.O.S. Bookstore, upstairs at the Carriage Shops, 233 North Pleasant Street, Amherst.

It's Tourist Season, by award winning writer Enid Shomer.

This is a new collection of stories about resilient women aged seventeen to seventy, each at a pivotal point in her life.

All this, refreshments and knitting, too! Hope to see you Thursday night, April 26.
