Book Expo America: This is basically the Rose Bowl of the book world, the largest trade show in the US. It sounds like Christmas!
PEN World Voices Literary Festival: Like most Americans, I primarily read American authors. But I enjoy the work of authors from all over the world and would love to go to this celebration of international lit!
Chicago Humanities Festival: I will always have a soft spot for Chicago after spending my honeymoon there! And this festival deals of course with books but also other forms of art/media, which I am extremely here for!
Hay Festival: First of all, I would love to visit Wales! Second this is supposed to be an incredible event.
The LA Times Festival of Books: Like the Chicago festival, this one focuses on media broadly. Also it's at least on the same side of the country I am so it's more likely I would be able to make this one happen.
National Book Festival: This one is put on by the Library of Congress and held in DC!
Edinburgh International Book Festival: I'll be honest, while this event looks amazing I really just want to have an excuse to go to Edinburgh.
