Here’s how this story goes – once upon a time there was a girl. She was a pretty ordinary girl, her only real extraordinary feature being her vast book collection. One year, because of an author the girl admired very very keenly, the girl found out about an event called Book Expo America, and decided to attend. The girl was gobsmacked; who knew such a wonderful place existed? Who knew they would just give you books to read and review?
That year the girl walked away with one certainty–she would return.
And return she did…for another 8 years.
