Over the next month, the National Book Critics Circle is hosting 15 events in 15 cities, from Washington, DC to Dallas, Philadelphia to Raleigh, Seattle and beyond to talk about the winter edition of the NBCC’s Good Reads, as well as recommendations at large, reading, what to read, awards, and our recently released book prize shortlist.
