Hello, and welcome back to another edition of Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
Ah, book festivals. Nothing beats getting together with fellow bibliophiles over your shared love of all things bookish. Alas, this is not the year for attending book festivals or conventions in person, but there has been the move to virtual fests. Consider this my list of events I’d like to see one day. 🙂
An ALA convention, any town, USA
Yallfest in Charleston, South Carolina, USA
Paris Book Festival, Paris, France, Europe
Bay Area Book Festival of Berkeley, CA, USA
Edinburgh International Book Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK
Toronto International Festival of Authors in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
The Fay B. Kaigler Children’s Book Festival in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, USA
Brooklyn Book Festival, Brooklyn, NY, USA
Which book events do you want to go to?

My fingers are crossed that you’ll get to attend at least one of these, someday! And that when you do, it’s pure magic!
Thanks, Jessica. I hope you’re doing well.

The Paris Book Convention would be amazing to go to. 🙂
Thanks for sharing!
Lauren @ Always Me
Right? Who can pass up Paris?
Edinburgh would probably be near the top of my list. I think it would be beautiful there. And I need to check out some of these virtual events.
Edinburgh would definitely be beautfiul.
The one in Scotland, I would love to go and attend.
Here is my TTT.

Edinburgh is definitely the popular choice for their book festival.

I’m so curious about the Brooklyn Book Festival.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
Me too.
Great picks! I really want to go to Edinburgh Book Festival too!

Thanks, Michelle! Edinburgh is quite popular for this event. 🙂
Edinburgh’s on my list too, in part because it’s someplace I would love to visit.
Here’s my Top Ten Tuesday.
It’s a place I’d like to visit too, Carol.
I’ve never been to the Edinburgh Book Festival but would love to go! It’s a lot more accessible to me than the US ones since I’m in the UK!
Definitely go when you can!

I live in Toronto and have never heard of the Toronto International Festival of Authors. Now I’m intrigued!
My TTT .
I found it googling for book events, looked it up, and it looks great. 🙂
Edinburgh seems to be a popular choice for many in the book community. I was thinking of going this year, but then the world fell apart, so, maybe next year? Sigh.
It is very popular; I’ve seen it on many lists. Definitely go next year.

I live in Toronto and have never heard of the Toronto International Festival of Authors. WTH?! I’m going to have to look into this event so I can go one day 🙂
Here’s my Top Ten Tuesday post.
I was googling book festivals and that one came up. It looks pretty cool. 😀
Edinburgh International Book Festival would actually be possible for me. I am from Croatia so everything is very far away.
That’s great!

I’d love to go to Edinburgh and Paris I think would be great too!
Maybe next year!!
It would absolutely be great!
I’d be happy to visit Paris, and if their festival is on at the same time…bonus!
Absolutely!
We might bump into each other at Edinburgh! And Paris Book Fair always looks so wonderful! But I had wanted to keep mine within the UK this week. Hope you manage to check out my TTT
Here’s to one day of bumping in to each other in Edinburgh!

Great list! I really should take myself up to Edinburgh International Book Festival at some point.
The Edinburgh International Book Festival looks like so much fun!
There are a lot of book festivals I didn’t know about before!
Right? I was on the lookout for more international panels and had a hard time finding some, but another Top Ten post had more comprehensive across the world.
I’d like to attend the ALA conference where they announce all the youth book awards.
My TTT—Bookstores to visit
Same!
