Sacramento Book Festival
Date: May 31, 2024
McKinley Park, Sacramento
10 am to 5 pm
I had such fun at the Sacramento Book Festival.
Over 1,000 folks attended and I sold a personal record (33) books.
My husband Tim came there halfway through, to drop off more books when I ran out. What a champion.
By the way this was the hottest day this year! Temperature was 103 degrees Fahrenheit. Ridiculous!
(We had just returned to Sacramento from our fantastic Ireland/Scotland trip the night before, so I got through selling books powered by pure adrenaline.)
