When I first moved to Madison and was looking for a job, it happened to be at the same time of the Wisconsin Book Festival.  Since I had nothing to do during the day, I was able to go to as many events as I wanted – it was awesome!  Here I am, four years later, and the Book Festival is now one of my favorite things about Madison.

This past weekend, I heard so many great writers speak and added great books to my “To Read” pile.  Its impossible to pick a favorite event, but going to Dardanelles with friends from book club to watch demonstrations by cookbook authors (and then taste the fruits of their labor) was awesome!

I am grateful for the Wisconsin Book Festival and the joy it brings me every October.
