The Upper Valley discussion

Hi all, I just discovered this Goodreads group. After living in New York for a decade, I just moved to the Hanover, New Hampshire, area and am excited to learn more about this beautiful area, its bookstores and local authors, etc. I love to read: my pet area of interest is poetry, but I also dote on a good novel. I'm the author of two poetry collections: Six Rivers , published by NYQ Books in 2011, and A History of the Cetacean American Diaspora , published by Anchor & Plume Press in February 2016. I occasionally write book reviews for literary journals and websites, and I'm an avid book reviewer here on Goodreads as well. I would love to connect with other Upper Valley dwellers who love reading and/or writing and can teach me more about this great area -- feel free to send me a friend request or strike up a conversation! Or please post here to tell me about your favorite book, your favorite local bookstore, or your favorite local reading series! I've checked out both the Dartmouth Bookstore and Left Bank Books in Hanover so far and am looking forward to becoming a regular.

Hi, Jenna,
I live in Thetford Center. I am a writer also. The 1st book I wrote, My Mother Grows Wallflowers, is set for a fall release. It's good to hear from someone else in the Upper Valley.

Hi, C.L., so nice to "meet" another Upper Valley writer! Congrats on your forthcoming book.

Thanks, Jenna. Let's stay in touch...maybe eventually there'll be enough of us to form some type of informal writing group...
