SUMMARY:Reading Recreation’s 10th Annual Downtown Trick or Treat
DESCRIPTION:We are excited for our 10th Annual Downtown Trick or Treat. The event this year will be held on Tuesday\, October 29th\, from 4:00 PM-5:30 PM. The concept is simple – Trick or Treat participants and parents will visit many local businesses we have here in the Reading Downtown area! We believe this unique opportunity will not only give children and families (adults are encouraged to dress up as well) in Reading a chance to wear their costumes one more time\, but it also provides some great foot traffic and exposure to our outstanding business community. Participating businesses will have a Halloween pumpkin hanging displayed on their storefront.

SUMMARY:Whitelam Books Presents New Novel\, QUEEN BESS: A Tudor Comes to Save America
DESCRIPTION:In-conversation event with novelist Maria Vetrano explores political fantasy that blends historical fiction\, time travel\, and humor  \nWhy can’t politics be more like fantasy football?  \nMassachusetts author Maria Vetrano’s debut novel\, QUEEN BESS: A Tudor Comes to Save America (Regalo Press)\, answers the question with a time-traveling Elizabeth Tudor brought to 2027 Massachusetts in preparation for a run at the 2028 presidential election. \nWhitelam Books will bring Vetrano and in-conversation partner Maura K. Phelan\, principal of Green Light Literary + Media\, to Whitelam Books on October 29\, 2024 at 7:00 p.m. for a lively author event exploring the political bona fides of a modern-day Queen Elizabeth I.  \nThe catalyst for the event\, Whitelam bookseller and event manager Jeanne Dennehy\, appreciated Vetrano’s unique approach to combining political satire and historical fiction in the new novel.  \n“The US presidential campaign process is long\, expensive\, and anxiety-provoking\,” said Dennehy. “What if politics were more like fantasy football? Take a brilliant\, experienced leader from the past\, a person without a high-profile history that would make her a target for negative media exposure and put her in a position to run for the presidency. QUEEN BESS is the anecdote we need as we navigate this presidential election season\, and the months that will follow.”  \nQUEEN BESS isn’t just for political buffs. It’s also for fans of the Tudors.  \n“I’ve loved Elizabeth Tudor since I first saw Glenda Jackson portray her in the Masterpiece Theatre miniseries Elizabeth R\, a show that I watched with my family when I was a child\,” said Vetrano. “While I could have selected a different historical figure who might rescue American democracy\, I chose Elizabeth Tudor because she was a brilliant\, battle-tested ruler who secured England’s shores\, restored the treasury\, and ushered in the Renaissance. She did all that while retaining her power in a world dominated by men. Just imagine how she would handle other world leaders. Or Congress.”
