Louise Penny was gracious and so friendly! The audience adored her and gave her a standing ovation! I also loved seeing NPR‘s Maureen Corrigan in person! #NatBookFest #NatBookFest2018 #NationalBookFest #NationalBookFest2018

Bad Feminist | Roxane Gay

Meeting Roxane Gay at #nationalbookfest still has me glowing days later. She is as wonderfully hardcore and awesome and one would imagine. My author fangirling was in high gear 😆 Q: What is the author you dream of meeting in person?

readinginthedark Sarah Dessen! This sounds awful, but most of my favorite authors are dead... 7y
tpixie Congrats!! This year I couldn‘t get in!! But read in line and got into Jeffrey Deaver and Louise Penny. I really wanted to see Celeste Ng, but from the long lines, I decided to stay put in Genre Fiction! (edited) 6y

When Dimple Met Rishi | Sandhya Menon
post image

Another year, another #nationalbookfest. This year my mama and I enjoyed the fest together and split our signing time hers in the morning, mine in the afternoon. I had the pleasure of meeting Sandhya Menon at the book festival. She was absolutely lovely, full of warmth and light. This was the book I was most excited for this summer and I'm so glad I had the chance to meet her ❤️

I've never read any of his legal thrillers, but I'm adding this change-of-pace book to my #TBR list. He's a charming speaker. #nationalbookfest

Happy to finally get my hands on some Roach! Saw her at #nationalbookfest & can't wait to read her. I know, I did it backwards. Read first, then meet author, right? Been rec'd for years, so this is happening now. It's also a pretty fitting #allhallowsread. Not a typical #scaryread, but hey, dead bodies, right? #nonfictionscaryread

Reppin' the #NationalBookfest today with the swag I got yesterday! There's a "Writer Roll Call" on the back with a list of all the authors that were there.??

So glad I got to meet up with @JPeterson, @Merethebookgal, @TheNextBook, and @beaniebankbeth yesterday! So much fun & can't wait to meet those of you who'll be at Book Riot Live! ?

BookishFeminist @BookishMarginalia @shawnmooney @erzascarletbookgasm @JanuarieTimewalker13 @BowenMurphy @JPeterson Thanks! They did a great job with the design this year. Glad I got it! 😊 8y
BookishFeminist @erinreads You should definitely try for it next year! It's always a fun time. They usually get great authors. 😊 8y
BookishFeminist @SoniaC We did have tons of fun! We went to author events and lunch together. Hopefully we'll be at a book event together too one day! 8y
BookishFeminist @Merethebookgal It was! So glad we all got the chance to meet up. 😊 8y
BookishFeminist @kmdartist Thanks! They did a great job with the design this year. I'm really looking forward to Book Riot Live too! It'll be a lot of fun I think. :) 8y
BookishFeminist @Graciouswarriorprincess It's alright! It can be hard to coordinate. We all found out we were in the area from a Litsy post of mine a while back, and we all happened to be going to the festival. I DMed everyone on other social media so we could exchange phone numbers & meet up while there. Next time let's coordinate too! Sad I missed you! 8y
Graciouswarriorprincess @BookishFeminist Thanks. I posted something too but didn't think to do that. I said last night in the @litsybookclub that we need "Got Litsy" shirts with the logo to identify each other.? 8y
SoniaC @BookishFeminist I loved seeing all the pics. One day I'll have to make it a point to go. 8y
JanuarieTimewalker13 @Barb1 this shirt is so pretty, isn't it? I missed most of the pics from the festival but one day I'd love to go! 8y

Sunday morning at its best:
Amazing graphic novel ✅
Cute coffee mug from #nationalbookfest, where I was also able to meet @TheNextBook @Merethebookgal @BookishFeminist @beaniebankbeth
Tasty coffee in the mug 😉 ✅

TheNextBook @JPeterson Was that in the gift shop!? I would have so got that mug. I love it! 8y
JPeterson @thenextbook They had a small booth on the way to where all the book sales were, more in a hallway area. I don't think anyone knew it was there until you just happened to pass it. 8y
Graciouswarriorprincess I saw that booth late in the day and there were sold out of almost everything. Maybe next year! Love the mug!💕 8y
