I think Mom and I had fun at the Bookmarks NC book festival...😆😆 I got to meet and have books signed by Margaret George and V. E. Schwab and This introvert totally made a fool out of herself chatting with Tea Obreht and Michael Parker. 🤦🏻♀️ #soawkward #hufflepuff
Lcsmcat I was there today too, but it sounds like we were at different events. Did you go to Margaret George‘s talk? I met Mary Doria Russell- she‘s amazing! 5y
Melissa_J I wish this city would have a book festival! Sounds like you had a great time. 5y
DGRachel @Lcsmcat I‘m sorry I missed you! I didn‘t see Margaret George‘s early talk about Mary Queen of Scots with the opera company, but I did see her in a panel discussion on writing stories with known characters/historical figures at 3:45. She‘s brilliant. 😍 5y

DGRachel I also saw Mary Doria Russell in a historical fiction panel and I agree - she‘s amazing. And funny! @Lcsmcat 5y
MallenNC Sounds like you had a great day. I‘m going to make it to that festival someday. 5y
Lcsmcat @DGRachel We went to the earlier opera-sponsored presentation. It was clear that she knew her stuff, but there were technical issues. My favorite was the Book Club Spotlight with Russell, Sarah Blake, Tif Marcelo, and Rajiv‘s Hassib. 5y
kspenmoll Sounds like a fabulous bookish day!!! 5y

Graciouswarriorprincess So glad that you and mom had a good time! IT was so nice to see you! Think about coming to Savannah with Laura and me in February! 5y
DGRachel @LeahBergen She was truly lovely. ❤ And funny. She told a great story about taking pictures for research on her Mary Queen of Scots book where she wasn't allowed to take pictures. Absolutely delightful! 5y
ValerieAndBooks Wow that‘s awesome!! 5y
