Fascism: A Warning | Madeleine Albright

Would have so very much loved to attempt this session as well. #moartimeplease #2018NBF #nationalbookfestival

Albright was originally scheduled for morning times, but had also been invited to attend McCain's funeral today. Amy Tan graciously switched time slots with her. I am super impressed at how well the authors and festival staff handled this change.

tpixie That makes sense. I didn‘t realize that. I just finished Tan‘s memoir and have started 6y
esurient @tpixie Tan's memoir is next on my To Be Obtained list! 6y

Justice Sotomayor shook my hand!!

The signing line stretched more than three hours. She signed a book for every single person. This woman is made of iron.

(I was busy volunteering during her talk, but the LOC makes available vids of all presentations. #heckyeahtechnology) #2018NBF #nationalbookfestival

esurient Tpixie I spent all morning in one of the Children's stages, and a little of the afternoon in the signing area. I especially loved seeing all the kids excited about their books! 6y
esurient @tpixie I'm not local to the area, but a librarian friend invited me to volunteer with her a few years ago, and I've been able to keep doing that ever since. 6y
tpixie How fun! @bookworm83 spent all her time down their too! I did 1/2 & 1/2, but no signings. Downstairs was the best area! 6y
