Making core memories at the book festival 🧡
Welcome back to First Line Friday! Even if you haven’t read “A Tale of Two Cities” by Charles Dickens, you might be familiar with the famous first part of the line. Dickens fills this lengthy first line with contradictions, introducing the novel’s central theme of duality.
Mid-week check-in! What are you reading this week?
Storytelling is at the heart of MS, an art that inspires and brings us together. Here at the MS Book Festival, we strive to build a love for stories from a young age, as we raise MS's next generation of storytellers. We hope to see both you and your kids at this year’s festival!
Happy National Volunteer Week! Volunteers are the fuel that powers the MBF, and we're grateful for each person who has volunteered over the past 9 years. If you're interested in volunteering, visit msbookfestival.com/participate#be…
For all of our tortured poets out there 🤍 Tell us who your favorite poet is in the comments!
Supporting your local Mississippi bookstore is the perfect excuse to buy a new book!
Who else is already looking forward to this year’s panels?
It’s time for another First Line Friday! Today we’re highlighting the first line of “Giovanni’s Room” by James Baldwin. This first line provokes a curiosity in the reader, prompting the question of what the most terrible morning of this narrator’s life is.
We wouldn’t mind a stroll down author’s alley right about now.
Mississippi is the perfect place for lovers of literature 🧡 Check out a few of these literary locations in Jackson!
Happy National Library Day! We recommend visiting your local library to celebrate 📖
Welcome back to First Line Friday! Today we're looking at the first line of “Mrs. Dalloway” by Virginia Woolf. Woolf uses this first line to introduce Mrs. Dalloway to the reader. From this line, we gather that Mrs. Dalloway is married and a part of the upper class.
This is your sign to pick up a book and read outside this week 🍃
We are proud to partner with our friends at the Two MS Museum for a free event at 6 PM on Thursday, April 4th. Bestselling author, Princeton University professor, and native-Mississippian Eddie S. Glaude, Jr. will be in conversation with Pamela D. C. Junior about his latest book.
The MS Book Festival is our Chicago 🧡
It’s time for another First Line Friday! Today we are looking at the first line of Herman Melville’s novel “Moby Dick,” one of the most famous American novels and first lines of all time.
Don't miss Jerid P. Wood's new interview with Rooted Magazine, where he discusses what Mississippi means to him and his involvement in the state's literary community. Read his full interview by visiting loom.ly/dDfoDF4
Spring is upon us! 🌷 Here are 8 books you can read this spring.
Don't miss Kate Medley and Kiese Laymon's discussion of Medley's book "Thank You Please Come Again: How Gas Stations Feed & Fuel the American South" (Bitter Southerner, 2023) at the Mississippi Museum of Art on April 5th at 6 pm! Sign up today by visiting loom.ly/ytQ4G3Y
