Oohh, these look interesting. Plus, literary and book festivals are great for discovering authors and books. Thanks for posting, Autumn. :)

Too bad the Litfest in Alberta is late October which is a very busy time for me!

Is anyone planning on visiting the literary festivals? I think it might be fun to meet up at one if I can scrounge up the money to travel, find lodging that accepts dogs, and maybe get a dog-walker.
I thought this topic would be more appropriate for the General Discussion forum than the book-sharing one, so I moved it here.

I'm considering the Cabot Trail festival, but right now back and forth between that and an art workshop the week prior... :)
