SUMMARY:Author Spotlight: "The Gift" by Yolande Spears at The Bushnell
DESCRIPTION:The Bushnell in Hartford will host an Author Spotlight event on Wednesday\, June 4\, 2025\, featuring Yolande Spears and her inspiring memoir The Gift.

SUMMARY:Enough Is Enuf: Our Failed Attempts to Make English Easier to Spell at Mark Twain House & Museum
DESCRIPTION:The Mark Twain House & Museum in Hartford will host author and humorist Gabe Henry on Tuesday\, June 24\, at 7 pm for an in-person event titled Enough Is Enuf: Our Failed Attempts to Make English Easier to Spell. Part of the museum’s Trouble Begins series\, the talk blends history\, comedy\, and linguistic oddities in a spirited examination of English spelling reform. \nHenry will explore the colorful history of those who tried—and failed—to simplify English spelling\, from Noah Webster’s dictionary reforms to Mark Twain’s passionate advocacy and George Bernard Shaw’s radical proposals. With stories of quirky proposals like spelling “through” as “thru” and “laugh” as “laf\,” the evening promises both laughs and thoughtful insights into the English language’s complicated evolution. \nBooks will be available for purchase\, and attendees can choose a ticket + book bundle or receive a $5 discount on the book with ticket-only admission on the night of the event. A book signing with the author will follow the discussion. \nThe Mark Twain House & Museum is located at 351 Farmington Avenue\, Hartford\, Connecticut. For more information and to register\, visit marktwainhouse.org.
