Get Ready for November!

This summer, instead of reading ‘beach books’, you might want to get ready to meet and listen to some of the already-announced authors who will be at the Charleston Literary Festival. The festival announced a few of the ‘stars’ today, and I am including the ones whose books I want to read. Some of these books have already been mentioned on the blog. I’ve got my work cut out for me. How about you? Have you read any of the below listed books?
