The Brooklyn Book Festival’s “rain or shine” rule got a workout this year. The sun never did shine, but the rain was in full force until about 2:00 p.m.! Thank you to all who braved the elements to support our authors. And, of course, to the authors who made the soggy trip to Downtown Brooklyn: Zeke Faux, James McCrone, Deb Pines, Carole Buggé, Kate Hohl, Dawn Barclay, Cathi Stoler, Lori Robbins, V. S. Kemanis, Jennifer Epstein, Tom Coffey, Jeff Markowitz, Gerri Lewis. Special thanks to Gerri and her family who so kindly helped Beth wrap up the soggy tablecloth and signage at the end of the day…much appreciated! Hope to see you all at Revels on December 2 so we can raise a glass to surviving the weather and to your wonderful books.
