| “The Traveling Bookshelf is hands-down one of my favorite bookish events of the year! The entire team of staff and volunteers create such a smooth, inviting, and positive environment – it truly is ‘all about the vibe’ from inception all the way to the end of the weekend! This is such a well run event, full of eclectic authors for all types of readers, and it feels like a homecoming every time I attend. I hope to bring my whole family at some point, especially because TBS is one of the few romance-focused bookish events I’ve attended that I can confidently say is absolutely family-friendly. Huge shout-out to Beth and the entire TBS team!” – H.M. DuVal, Author | |
