I hope I haven’t missed anyone
Every Fall, when the temperature finally drops below ninety degrees and the humidity plummets to an energizing low, I can feel Texas Book Festival weekend approaching.
Well, here it is. The 2010 Texas Book Festival rolls out the welcome mat October 16-17 at the State Capitol grounds in Austin. You won’t want to miss the wonderland of books, speakers, and special events.
Pop over to the Texas Book Festival website to check out the schedule of events. You’ll want to plan your time wisely because, boy howdy, this will be a hopping place. While you’re at it, check out the amazing list of festival authors. As you scan the page, notice the local talent to be featured.
Naturally, I encourage you to seek out some Austin author friends who write incredible children’s and young adult books. Now that you’ve seen their friendly faces, you’ll recognize them immediately, right? Check the day and time of their individual presentations by clicking on their names from the Festival Author list.
If I’ve missed anyone from our Austin kid-lit community, please let me know.
Enjoy a weekend full of literacy and fun!
