National Book Festival

I hope you all had a nice weekend. I had a GREAT weekend as I got to attend the National Book Festival  in Washington D.C. I heard many great authors speak about their writing practices and the books they have written. It was a beautiful day and we walked to the Library of Congress for a visit there as well. I'll write about this during the week.

Currently I am reading The Book Thief. It is written by Markus Zusak and is about a young girl in Nazi Germany. What are you reading? Who is the author? In one or two sentences, tell us about your book.

Please visit the website of the National Book Festival. Check out the poster and the videos and learn all about it.

  1. I just finished Ira Socol's book The Drool Room. Now I am reading James Rollins The Doomsday Key. On audio I am reading The Island at the Center of the World by Russel Shorto. It is a fascinating book about the Dutch colony of New Amserdam that became New York.
