The National Book Festival is being held September 26, 2009 at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. There is an amazing line-up of authors scheduled to appear, including some of my favorites:
Shannon Hale
Mo Willems
David Baldacci
Lee Child
James Patterson
George Pelecanos
Judy Blume
Patrick Carman
Rick Riordan
John Grisham
John Irving
Katherine Neville
Jodi Picoult
Nicholas Sparks
Jeannette Walls
(for a full list, visit the Library of Congress Web site).
Several local bloggers are working together to plan a DC TweetUp, which is basically a get together for anyone that will be in town to attend the National Book Festival. If you will be in DC that weekend, and are interested in joining up with us, please sign up for the DC Tweetup group. We're also planning a tour of the Library of Congress Building, so sign up for the group to receive updates as they become available!

I cannot wait to meet up with everyone! With so many people coming in from the blogosphere, I think they will eclipse the authors for me!
I'll be at the festival with my daughter, Serena from Savvy Verse & Wit, and her mom. I just signed up to join the group. I think it would be fun to meet up with other bloggers.
