Put on your walking shoes and be ready for the biggest book event of the year!
Every year, Rain Taxi (a Minneapolis-based book review and literary organization) has a a grand book event that is NOT to be missed. It outgrew its previous space at Metro Community College and this year will be at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds. Go to their website for directions to the building in which it will take up residence on Saturday, October 13th from 10am-5pm. It is a free event and the abundant parking is free as well.
Take a look at the schedule for the day - writers reading from their own works and other interesting topics related to books. Make the rounds from table to table of three hundred publishers, bookstores, individual writers, and arts/ literary centers. It also is a place to have lots of informal conversations with writers and readers. And it is likely you will see folks you know - all there to see what is new in the book world.
Don't wait to come at the last hour - there is so much to satiate your book-mind that you will need to give it some time. After you have luxuriated in this wonderful atmosphere, go home, take of your shoes, put up your feet, and give a long, contented sigh. Books and publishing are alive and well - whether you have an e-book reader, buy print copies of books, or use your library card!
As for those of you world-wide who read this blog, eat your hearts out for not being able to attend this wonderful gathering. Maybe next year!
