"Great Gatsby at 100" | MALF Membership Renewals | New 2025 Grant Programs

What are you doing with this traditionally slow week between Christmas and New Year’s Day? We’d wager that you’re spending at least a part of that time cozying up with a good book.

If your “TBR” pile is getting a little low, check out a replay of MALF’s last webinar of the year. Warm Reads For Cold Nights: Year 3 debuted earlier this month. Attendees enjoyed an early peek at winter releases from two of Minnesota’s best-reputed publishers: Coffee House Press and Lerner Publishing.

We also heard book recommendations from no fewer than ten of our favorite writers: Gretchen Anthony, JoJo Bell, Kristin Cronn-Mills, Cary J. Griffith, Pete Hautman, Sarah Johns, Kristin Johnson, Christopher P. Lehman, Mary Logue and Anne Ursu.
