The National Book Festival is coming up in just a few weeks.  I am excited that it will be expanded and split into a two day extravaganza for the first time ever!  This year, I’m eyeing authors Sarah Vowell, Gregory Maguire, Adam Goodheart, and Brian Selznick in particular. The full schedule is available at the Library of Congress webpage. Which authors would you want to see live?

Stine Bad Mother, by Ayelet Waldman Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, by Gregory Maguire Uglies, by Scott Westerfeld
