Where We Live recently hosted a bookish gathering at Rebel Dog Coffee in East Hartford. The Sept. 6 event served as a precursor to the team鈥檚 new 鈥�Where We Read鈥� initiative and connected listeners and literary fans across the state. We discovered the themes that really spark joy and had a blast sharing what everyone is reading around the room.
