Books by the Banks

Posted by SarahL23 at Thursday, October 14, 2010

A couple weekends ago my mom and I went to the Books by the Banks event in downtown Cincinnati. It was a book lover's paradise! There were several well-known authors, as well as some lesser known local ones. I attended two panel discussions and had the pleasure of hearing some awesome authors talk about thier work. I bought the book American Wife for myself and had it signed by the author, Curtis Sittenfield. I also got to meet Katherine Howe, the author of The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane. I can't wait for next year's event!
