I've had the good fortune to attend a lot of dream book festivals, namely the National Book Festival in DC, since I live so close, which always has an incredible lineup of headliners, even though it's gotten way more crowded in recent years! Sadly, I'm sure it will not take place this year. I'm also lucky enough to live close to the Baltimore Book Festival, which is always a fun local event with authors I love and lots of new local authors to meet and books to buy. If that weren't enough, I've also been spoiled enough to be close to the Gaithersburg Book Festival, which often draws some big names due to its proximity to the capital as well as lots of local organizations and booksellers. I lived in Boston when the first annual Boston Book Festival occurred, and I also got to attend the Chicago Humanities Festival when I lived there. I'd highly recommend all of those events and definitely want to attend them again, but I still do have some dream bookish events left!
Happy Top Ten Tuesday over at That Artsy Reader Girl!

My TTT .
Here's my TTT list this week.
It's sad to think how many festivals have had to cancel this year. I hope they will be able to safely take place next year, or at least by 2022.
San Diego Comic-Con made my list as well, as did the National Book Festival (again.)

I have been to two of the festivals on your wanna-go-to list, BookExpo and the Printers Row Festival. Loved both of them.
