Video Coverage of the 2018 National Book Club Conference

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.
