Texas Loves Book Events!

I am insanely excited about the upcoming book events happening right here in my very own hometown!!  Texas doesn't mess around when it comes to hosting outstanding bookish events.  We're a pretty big state, so there's lots of room for plenty of book action here.  Fortunately, there are a few events happening in my neighborhood (well within the city limits).  I am beyond blessed by living in a place that supports not only local, but national authors as well.

Here are a list of really cool events happening this month (I am hoping to attend most of these, but unfortunately I can not visit them all.) Please let me know in the comments if you will be at any of these, too!  I love meeting other bookish friends :)
