If you live in driving range (or in NYC - the library is literally across from the Metro North stop), I hope you can come to some or all of it!

Have you ever been on a panel or served as a moderator for a book event, your job, or anything else? Would you want to?

✍️📚 Harrison Library Author Event 📚✍️

I had a great time yesterday at the @harrisonpubliclibrary Author Event - and at this event, I wasn’t just an attendee, but a panelist on the last panel of the day, composed of book influencers! The panel was a lot of fun, and I think what shined through was that all of us - me, podcasters/authors/bookstagrammers @limousinereadings , author and podcaster @writerkareneosborne , three inspiring high schoolers from the library’s battle of the book team, and bookseller Jennifer from @thevillagebookstorepville - just genuinely love books and recommending and discussing them with people!

I also really enjoyed attending the other panels during the day and meeting/re-meeting authors @jiminhanwriter , @mariahfredericks , @janeloebrubin , #robertisaacs , #ejcopperman , @cassandraneyenesch , @heatheraimeeoneill , @katebroadbooks , @liortorenberg , @vanessalawrencewriter , and @lomo_bk .

I also loved having my mom in attendance (and thanks to hear for the great picture of me). The incredibly sweet Heather Aimee O’Neill even gave my mom a free copy of her book The Irish Goodbye! Plus my husband, daughter, and booksta bestie @cityreadingmouse came for my panel and I so appreciated their support.

I bought way too many books, but I actually pretty much only buy books at author events! (And in case you’re wondering, I already have signed copies of Jimin’s and Heather’s books from previous events.)

QOTD: If you’re a bookstagrammer, do you consider yourself an influencer? Or, what was the last book you bought?
