I live in San Francisco's East Bay region. <br /><br />There are two wonderful indie bookstores near me that have had several fabulous authors come to sign books in their store (The following authors have made it to local bookstores near me: Lisa See, Joyce Carol Oates, Paula Hawkins, Garth Stein, Maria Semple, Jodi Picoult, Arturo Perez-Reverte, Sarah Dessen, Amy Stewart, and many more.)<br /><br />There is also an annual book festival in Berkeley, California that's held the 1st weekend in June called the Bay Area Book Festival that is fabulous!! I've attended the Bay Area Book Festival the past 3 years in a row and love it! I've enjoyed seeing Judy Blume, Sherman Alexie, Roxane Gay, and Cornelia Funke (to name a few of the authors) speak + sign books at the Bay Area Book Festival.Captivated Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15789205839634527219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8652886466659402180.post-62215383401083686992017-08-09T08:14:41.480-07:002017-08-09T08:14:41.480-07:00That is a good list!
