Those are just to name the people I'd love to glimpse/meet/talk to/touch hands with. There's a ton more authors and celebs slated to be there. There are so many signings and speaking events that I'm going to have to clone myself and/or wear a time-turner around my neck to get to them all. I AM BESIDE MYSELF WITH EXCITEMENT.
Will I see you there? I'd love to meet fellow bloggers and book lovers!
