It's been a while since Panzer has been to the Publishers Weekly site, so he decided to make a stop there today. With a little digging in the posts, he found one about Barnes and Noble and Book Tok.

 

Didn't take long for tickets to sell out.

According to Sophia Stewart's post, the first Book Tok Festival is scheduled at the Barnes and Noble Union Square, NYC store. Called B&N Toks Books, it's on February 4. Plans include publishers' booths and author talks.

 

Panzer says, " There's a link for tickets, but don't bother. They're sold out.

Panzer's trip into the Catosphere today was a productive one.

They are:

June 3  - Reading Party with Greg Buchanan

June 5 - Crediton Literary Festival (with a crime focus)

June 15 - Crafting Compelling Coppers
