Book It: December Book Events

Ha Jin comes to town, the Booksmith whips up some vegan cupcakes, and Dennis Lehane celebrates Boston Noir. Plus there's a Christmas crime event at the BPL. and a big ol' sale at the Harvard Book Store warehouse (which, to be clear, is nowhere near the actual HBS). Sounds like a very bookish December to us, filled with chances to load up on goodies for family and friends.
