Today was a good day, warm but good! ☀️It was lovely to return to an in-person San Antonio Book Festival. I attended six sessions featuring nine authors and increased my TBR list as one does. 📚#sabookfest #sanantonio #sapl

Bookzombie I‘m going to tag a book from each author below so I might increase your TBR as well. 😈 2y

TheBookHippie How wonderful !!!! 2y
Nute I am overjoyed, Margie! So happy to see all the amazing in-person book festivals!🤗 2y
Cinfhen I read and LOVED 2y
Cinfhen Going to check out the others - I already have this one lined up for #CampLitsy 2y
Cinfhen Looks like a wonderful day!!!! 2y
Bookzombie @Cinfhen I‘m happy to hear you loved Olympus, Texas. I enjoyed hearing her talk about the book. Even though Olympus is a fictional city, the author grew up in the area it‘s set. 2y
Bookzombie @Cinfhen I almost didn‘t go to Emma Straub‘s talk. I just didn‘t think I was interested, but I loved her. She was a lot of fun. 2y
Bookzombie @Cinfhen It was wonderful, but also very warm, lol. I hope next year they move it back to early April. 2y

This was announced yesterday. I feel like someone canceled my Super Bowl.

Also, San Antonio Public Libraries are closed for at least the next week. I imagine that will be extended. If I were going to go somewhere, I don‘t know where I would go. #sapl #sanantonio #sabookfest

P.S. I‘m aware in the midst of everything going on this maybe isn‘t a big deal, but I‘m still bummed.

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I think it's perfectly normal to be bummed. It was something you were looking forward to. I was supposed to go to a wrestling event in 10 days and that is canceled. 4y
Bookzombie @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Thanks! I‘m sorry about your event too. It‘s too bad they couldn‘t have reschedule. I know logistics are a problem for some events. 4y
Suet624 😭😭 I‘m sorry. 😭😭💖 4y

My #sabookfest haul from this weekend including my newest Fiesta medals.

Eggs ❤️ American Fire 6y
Kaye What are Fiesta medals ? 6y
Aloisi_tribe San Antonio has a huge festival every April called Fiesta. It‘s a week of parades and concerts and good fair food. Businesses and cities around San Antonio design the medals that are sold, worn, and traded over the whole month of April before Fiesta. They‘re kind of like the country pins at the Olympics. I‘ll have to take a picture of my collection later today. @Kaye 6y
Kaye Sounds neat. Thanks. 6y

Here are some of the authors I saw yesterday at the San Antonio Book Festival. A few of them were already on my TBR and some have been added.

I have already read a number of Linda Castillo‘s books but it was cool to see her in person. Tagged book is the latest in her series.

Jason Reynolds is awesome! If you have the chance to hear him speak, go!

I also saw Paula Poundstone and she was hilarious.

Fun day at the #sabookfest. So far I've restrained myself from buying books but found a bunch of things to add to my #tbr. #anthropology
