As I mentioned before, this weekend was the 5th annual Boston Book Festival, run by the Boston Public Library and hosted in various places around Copley Square. This was my first year at the BBF, so I scheduled a whole day of events and exploring. My review for the program? It was absolutely fantastic, and I would encourage everyone to go next year.
Most of the events were held on Saturday (10/19), but there were some ticketed events on the Thursday and Friday before. I didn't end up going to those because 1) they costed money (not a lot, but more than I had available to spend) and 2) because they were sold out a long time ago. So, unfortunately, I don't have much to say about the Salman Rushdie or Writing Terror talks. My only advice would be to get your tickets early if you want to go to the ticketed events next year. Anyway, without further ado, here is a review of the three talks I attended and the exhibitor booths that I visited.
