I attended the 2018
National Book Club Conference August 3rd and 4th. I have not attended since the 2010. The conference is really was like attending a family reunion I've known many of the attendees for at least a decade and some much longer. Below are the videos I shot that weekend. most are under 5 minutes in length. Check them out; catch up with a familiar author or discover a new one.
The video title is followed by the video's duration (mins:sec).
