This is one of my favorite weekends in Baltimore! The Baltimore Book Festival is a few steps from paradise for me. Hundreds and hundreds of beautiful books…the smell of untouched pages, the magnetic titles that beg you to at least read the Table of Contents, the authors seated in front of eager crowds relishing the opportunity to talk about their creation.
One of the authors in town is Amy Goodman. She’ll be speaking tonight (Friday) at Morgan State discussing her latest book, Standing Up To The Madness. Iyanla Vanzant and Bishop T.D. Jakes will be speaking tonight (Friday) 5:15PM at the Walters Art Museum. Dr. Cornell West, Walter Mosley, and Morgan State’s own – M.K. Asante will be speaking on their latest books as well along with more than 200 other authors.
You don’t want to miss this great literary event. I sure won’t

Yeah, haven’t been to the Baltimore Book Festival yet but it seems like they’ve got a lot going on there. Creative idea, with the crossword.
If you haven’t been, make sure you go. The festival is great. I look forward to hearing Dr. West and M.K. Asante, Jr. I also look forward to discovering other great authors.
