Book Events/Festivals I’d Love to Go to Someday

Book Events/Festivals I’d Love to Go to Someday

July 21, 2020 Posted by angelreads Features, Top Ten Tuesday 15 Comments

This week I’m sharing Book Events/Festivals I’d Love to Go to Someday. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

At the moment this is such a hard post to write. We have no idea when everything is going to go back to normal. I can’t even leave my state at the moment let alone the country. I was supposed to be going to Disney World in September and that isn’t happening. But this post has also been fun because I get to share events and festivals that I can’t wait to go to when the world is slightly back to normal. 

I’ve ever been to bookish events and festivals in Australia. While most of them have been Melbourne. I have travel a few times to go to other events. 

BookExpo: It has been my dream for years to go to BEA. I think it’s a lot of bloggers dream to go there. And since I’ve become a bookseller, it’s something that I want to do even more. It sounds like it’s going to be crazy and fun. And an amazing experience. I know I will get there once day, but I also know I will need to bring another 2 suitcases just for books. And that sounds exciting. I want to go to panels and see and meet all of these amazing authors. It will be such an incredible experience. 

BookCon: I can’t go to BEA and not go to BookCon. While this seems like it’s going to be 10x busier. I just want to do it once. But I think I will be ready for it. Like BEA, I can’t wait to see all the panels and meet all the authors. We don’t get many international authors here in Australia. We only get them from time to time and I would most likely pass out from how many that I’m seeing. 

YallFest/YallWest: This is another one that I really do want to go to. But then I can’t even choose which one out of the two. I wish they were closer together so I could go to both. But I guess it will depend on who is going to which that might help me pick. 

Cassandra Clare: I want to go to anything that I will get to meet Cassandra Clare in. She has come to Australia twice, that I know of. The first time I had only just started reading her books and I wasn’t really on social media. The second time, she didn’t come to my state and it was too had at that time for me to see her. 

YALC: You should all know by now, how much I love the UK and I would love to go to any bookish events there, but YALC is high on my list. Again it features YA authors from around the world and that just sounds like so much fun. 

Any book festival: I love going to book festivals. And there so happens to be in the place that I’m going then there is no doubt I will be there. They are fun and interesting and I want to go more around the world. Maybe I can just do it for one year and go to as many as possible. 

Book Bonanza Event: I really want to start going to more romance bookish events and this one is high on my list. It has so many romance authors I can’t even begin to tell you. I just look at the lists each year and stare. There is so many and they write in so many different genres of romance and it just seems like it would be fantastic. 

And that is it for this week’s Top Ten Tuesday! What are some bookish events and festival that you would like to go to when this is all over? What have you been too? Let’s Chat!

    Hi There is going to be a readers and writers festival in the Moreton Bay region near Brisbane, Queensland, Australia at the end of June, beginning of July next year. Let’s hope things are as normal as possible next year so people can attend festivals again.

    Our library has Mountain of Authors (free) and then there’s the Colorado Teen Literature Conference that is fairly inexpensive to attend. It’s just so expensive to go to these! One of the good things about coronavirus was that YALLWEST was virtual this year. It was a lot of fun!

    Great list! YALC made my list this week, too, but I think BEA and BookCon would be a lot of fun to go to. I’m sorry your trip to Disney World isn’t happening this year–I hope you get to go soon, when everything’s a bit safer!

    I went to one of Cassandra Clare’s events here in Melbourne a few years ago. It was lots of fun.

    I love YALC, was so sad that it was cancelled this year (though obviously I understand)! Hopefully everything will be okay for next year, it’s one of my favourite weekends of the year 🙂

    I had the same reaction to this week’s prompt. I can only hope we have a vaccine soon and this pandemic becomes a memory.

    I think BEA and BookCon are on a lot of book bloggers’ bucket list. I had the chance to go last year, but the logistics got a little too complicated and I didn’t end up going. Bummer. Maybe another year.

    Happy TTT!

    I’ve wanted to go to YALC for a long time now since it’s usually the only book event near me, even though”near” means four hours away. And I would love to go to BookCon too, but the thought of how busy it would be makes me a little hesitant about it.

    Ooh, all of these events would be totally dreamy! I see why you’d want to go. I hope someday you do and that each event is as magical as you’d hope!

I had such a great time reading this book. I didn’ I had such a great time reading this book. I didn’t know what to expect, but at the same time it was exactly what I wanted.

Driven is an entertaining, suspenseful new adult romance debut that has a second chance romance, is brothers best friend and has fast cars. 

It’s one of those books that is perfect for those looking for something that they won’t want to put down, leave them second guessing and wanting more. 

It’s full of second changes, finding yourself and falling for the one person that is forbidden. 

This is all such a great debut novel that makes me want to read more from Emma J Warrender.
