Those are just to name the people I'd love to glimpse/meet/talk to/touch hands with. There's a ton more authors and celebs slated to be there. There are so many signings and speaking events that I'm going to have to clone myself and/or wear a time-turner around my neck to get to them all. I AM BESIDE MYSELF WITH EXCITEMENT.
Will I see you there? I'd love to meet fellow bloggers and book lovers!
Hey Rosie! :)
ReplyDeleteOh that's great! I am happy for you :D I am sure that you will enjoy it. Hey you should make a post on this later and tell us how it went and what did you enjoyed the most? :) Have Fun! ^^
Thank you so much! I will absolutely give everyone the scoop.
DeleteThis sounds beyond incredible! I really hope you'll post some kind of event recap so I can see how it went and what you were able to fit in. I'd adore to get to one of these amazing events one day, though the crush of people will no doubt freak me out completely! So many people! But they sound incredible and intense and wonderful. Hope you had an amazing time! xx
ReplyDeleteHey Romi! Thank you so much. I will post an update, for sure. It was very crowded, and I don't like being swallowed up in a sea of people, either. But it was so worth it in the end.
