Preparing for attending the events can be a little overwhelming, so I've made a list of tips to help with the prep!

First things first: MAKE A LIST! Make a packing list, a list of authors you want to see, etc.

Next: Plan for which books you want to take with you for authors to sign. Pro tip: Be mindful of book limits, so prioritize your faves!

[{"selector":"#anim-d170ee65-8800-4785-95a4-0030cbf9356d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7dec2500-0d73-403c-b87e-d76194f456c8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 298.42178%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Plan which bag you'll bring with you! You'll be hefting books so you'll need a bag that will handle the hours + weight!

Stay hydrated, y'all!
