Treasure Valley Reads Presents: An Evening with Tomás Baiza & Lyd Havens

​This year, Treasure Valley Reads features Delivery by Tomás Baiza & ​Chokecherry by Lyd Havens.

Delivery by Tomás Baiza - "In this debut literary novel, a pizza-slinging Mexican American college student tries to outrun the layered traumas of his past...the author manages to display many talents, particularly his ability to find the emotional nuances in the midst of life’s messiness." -Kirkus Reviews

Chokecherry by Lyd Havens - "It so beautifully paces alongside dementia and memory loss, and for the way it champions the mission of remembering...from start to finish, Chokecherry hinges itself on what comes next, inspiring us to look inwards on our own tomorrows, and to hope what we produce can one day also fall into someone’s lap...Chokecherry is celebratory for all of us." -Cleveland Review of Books

​We encourage everyone in the community to come together, read, and discuss the themes of the book. Treasure Valley Reads 2024 will continue to bring us together by building a community of readers.
