Ultimate Survival Guide to Book Conventions & Festivals

Hello everyone! This week is one of the biggest weeks for bookish people as people from around the world flock to Blogbound, Book Expo, and, Book Con. Whether you have been to one, two or all of the conventions, the experience can be a doozy, to say the least. Over the years, it’s common for people to create their own survival guide to a certain festival or convention, each of which have their own rules and etiquette but wow are there a lot of posts and videos out there, some of which, as the rules change, may be too old to even be relevant anymore. I mean, I’ve made my own guide before for Book Con, and it definitely needs updating lol. Therefore, I figured I’d put together an up-to-date collection of survival guides for all bookish festivals, conventions, and conferences. Let’s goooo….
