Philly Area Book Events this Week: June 2 - June 8

Last week I was at Book Expo America in New York for three days that included sessions about blogging, meeting representatives from publishing houses, authors, and friends. It's exhausting and exhilarating in equal measure. Not only did I get a great overview of a lot upcoming books, I also picked up some ideas on how to make this blog better for readers. I hope to have some announcements about upcoming changes to share very soon.

For the moment, it's back to regular programming which includes this weekly listing of upcoming author events!
