Anyone else create spreadsheets before book festivals with events to check out? I know, I'm totally a nerd. #tucsonfestivalofbooks #spreadsheet #tfob
ValerieAndBooks Not me, because I've never had the opportunity to attend a book festival yet. Have fun 😊! 8y
OceanCityMama No but you're inspiring me! 😍👍 8y
saguarosally @ValerieAndBooks Go find one! I'm 90 minutes from TFOB but hey, close enough! 8y

saguarosally @OceanCityMama Go for it! I did it last year too, it made it easier to see events that really piqued my interest. Honestly I'm not seeing as many events this year that are hugely interesting but there are enough. 8y
LauraBeth This is a great idea! 8y
LisaJo No spreadsheet here. But, I have been known to print out multiple schedules cut out the different events and then arrange them in various ways to best optimize my time and what I would wish to see. I will have to spreadsheet next time, however. That seems so much better than my method. #BookFestivalGeeks 8y
RebL I usually sharpie the grid. I have a new position this year and I'm not sure how much I will get to see, but I'd love to know what made your list. 8y
saguarosally @LauraBeth Try it! I am finding it worked better last year because there were a lot more events that I was interested in last year. 8y
saguarosally @LisaJo Your method is more fun though! I'm just space challenged and use spreadsheets all the time at work, so it was just what I turned to to plot out book festival ideas. 8y
saguarosally @RebL Hey, if you want to meet Littens I'll probably go down there all weekend. I'm mostly done with Saturday but have to finish up Sunday. My grid this year has more gaps than last year's grid. 8y
RebL @saguarosally Last year it seemed like every session was an agonizing choice between options. I'll be working in Worlds of Words in the College of Education. We are responsible for the children's and teen strand. I'd love to meet up and can likely do it on your schedule. We should exchange contact info. You'll have to tell me what's going on in the rest of the fest. 8y
saguarosally @RebL How do you find contact info for others here? Is there a private messaging function on Litsy? 8y
RebL Wondered the same. We can DM on IG. 8y
