Calling all Boston book lovers. The Boston Book Festival returns October 17 for its 18th year, bringing more than 200 authors, illustrators and poets to Copley Square and the Back Bay. The lineup includes The Odyssey translator Emily Wilson, Pulitzer Prize winner Geraldine Brooks, Edwidge Danticat, Imbolo Mbue, Tess Gerritsen, Walter Mosley and more. Across the day, there will be 80+ events, including author conversations, readings, panels and activities for younger readers, plus an outdoor fair featuring more than 60 exhibitors. And the main festival day is completely free to attend. By the way, we have a weekly newsletter rounding up what’s worth doing and knowing about in Boston. One newsletter. Once a week. Link in bio.
