SO thankful that God laid an event on our heart that He knew you would need last year and this year. Praying that peace continues to invade your heart and joy nudges in where grief has rooted.

It was such an amazing day, and I can honestly say that the authors love being there just as much as the readers. If I wrote a recap, not only would I fangirl along side you about meeting some of my favorite authors in person, but also my favorite readers, reviewers, and bloggers. I loved seeing you there again this year, Kara! There's nothing better than being in a room of people who speak the same heart language: books!
