A few more pics from my beautiful day at the 34th #southernfestivalofbooks! Clockwise from top: Incredible food truck poutine, War Memorial Auditorium, a local brew (if there‘s a beer garden, I‘ll find it, haha), Nashville Public Library main branch, Tennessee State Capitol.

Leftcoastzen I bet that Amber was good!🍺 1y
britt_brooke @Leftcoastzen Very good! Too bad I had to drink it quickly so I could make it to the next session. 😂 1y

Super fun panel with Isaac Fitzgerald (Dirtbag, Massachusetts), Maud Newton (Ancestor Trouble), and Jami Attenberg (tagged - her first memoir). #southernfestivalofbooks #nashville #nashvillepubliclibrary #memoirists

DanaManiac Oh cool! My husband and I shared a row with Jami on a recent flight. I didn‘t know of her before and now I see her name everywhere 😂 1y
britt_brooke @DanaManiac How funny! I‘ve read one of her novels, but just realized she has 7 or so. Here, she was discussing her first memoir. Planning to read it soon. She was very likable! 1y
britt_brooke @Cinfhen Here‘s the panel Isaac Fitzgerald was on. So fun! 1y

Cinfhen What a GREAT panel!!! 1y
britt_brooke @Cinfhen It was awesome! I loved listening to Jami Attenberg talk about her memoir (which I‘m reading now). I also saw Rick Bragg, Patrick Radden Keefe, Mary Laura Philpott and Margaret Renkl speak that day. It was pretty incredible! 1y
Cinfhen Wow!!! Incredible group of writers and awesome humans 🙌🏻😍 1y

Mary Laura Philpott (tagged + I Miss You When I Blink) “in conversation” with Margaret Renkl (Late Migrations + Graceland, At Last). This was so fun because they‘re best friends! Both are local authors and have written fantastic books. I met Mary Laura afterward and she loved my Frankstein‘s Monster t-shirt, so we‘re BFFs now. #southernfestivalofbooks #nashville

So enjoyed this session with Patrick Radden Keefe! He spoke for a bit then took several audience questions. Such an interesting person! I met him afterward and got the tagged book signed. I haven‘t read it yet, but was impressed by Rogues and Empire of Pain. He‘s an incredible journalist! And he was super nice. #southernfestivalofbooks #nashville

Scochrane26 The tagged is very good. I listened to it, which was nice because the narrator is Irish. 1y
britt_brooke @Scochrane26 I‘ll probably end up doing the same! 🎧 1y
JenReadsAlot Awesome! I loved Empire of Pain. 1y

A terrible picture, but it's Celeste Ng and Tayari Jones! AAAAAAAAND as I was leaving for the day, I realized I was walking right behind Celeste Ng, so I did something very unlike me. I said "Oh my gosh I'm walking behind Celeste Ng!" and she turned around and laughed and shook my hand. I usually like to give celebrities privacy, but I imagine that it must be a bit thrilling for an author to be recognized on the street. #southernfestivalofbooks

Booksnchill Wow- awesome!! 5y

Today, I had the immense pleasure of seeing Rick Bragg then later, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor (no photos permitted), and meeting them both, respectively. I have to add, they both commented on my shirt which I picked up at a local boutique recently. It‘s my new favorite! 💚 #southernfestivalofbooks

CallMeIshmael This makes me happy 5y
Prairiegirl_reading That shirt is pretty great!! 5y

Kaye Wow ! How cool. I‘d love to meet him. I‘d pull a chair up next to him and ask if I can listen to him talk to everyone. Such a beautiful voice. @joscho (edited) 5y
JoScho @Kaye yeah I know he is one of your faves ❤️ 5y
Booksnchill @Kaye you should book a trip to the Southern Festival - he‘s here about every year- great voice! (edited) 5y
Kaye I‘ve never been to any book festivals. Do they have this one at the same place and time every year ? 5y
Booksnchill @Kaye yes, Usually second or 3rd weekend in October in Nashville at Library and War Memorial Plaza put on by the TN Humanities Council- can see all the info from this year if you google Southern Festival of Books 2018. The festival is free to attend 5y
Kaye Thank you. I‘ll check it out. Southerners seem to be the best storytellers, in my opinion. 5y
