Happy May Day! Thanks to your feedback and readership, I am introducing a new monthly feature on Waltham Patch. The series, "Literally Waltham," will involve a monthly focus featuring local bookish activities. If you have literary events which are being offered locally, you can share them by e-mailing me through my website. Literally!
We are blasting off this new series with a launch party at for "Ma Speaks Up" at Belmont Books. This memoir by local author Marianne Leone is written with the gritty tone of a first generation Bostonian Italian-American. Joanne Moltisanti (Leone's role on HBO's "The Sopranos") would be wicked proud.
