Bookmarks 4th Annual Movable Feast
Join us for our fourth installment of the Movable Feast. This event has been such a fun addition to our calendar and has sold out for the past three years. So hurry and get your tickets while they last!
We can best describe the event as "speed dating" with authors. You will be seated at a table with 7 others and will be joined by a new author every 10 minutes. The authors will tell you about themselves and their books, hopefully leaving you with many great selections for upcoming reads and book club selections.
You will have a chance to meet all of the authors before and after the event. In 2016, we will have 25 authors from 10 states. Authors' books are about a variety of topics, from thrillers to memoirs, from historical fiction to romance.
Doors will open at 2pm giving you a chance to socialize with the authors and enjoy light hors d'oeuvres and wine. Book sales are through Bookmarks and proceeds benefit our Authors in Schools program.
The event will begin promptly at 3pm. Booksignings will be held at 5pm.
All attendees are entered to win a variety of door prizes!
Tickets are available beginning Nov. 10:
$45 (tax & service fee included) = one individual ticket
$300 (tax & service fee included) = table of 8 (No Longer available)
The $300 tables of 8 option may select up to three authors they would prefer to have visit their table. All selections must be submitted by January 8. At least one of your selections will be guaranteed, but every attempt will be made to accommodate all three requests. The earlier you buy your table and submit your requests, the better.
