I, the born-and-raised Floridian, never thought Disney was the most magical place on Earth.

Now in my nascent adult years, I have discovered a place that sounds truly magical. Tomorrow, I go there for the first time.

Book Expo America.

The free books! The responsibility of being an actual book buyer! The professional smile and chatter with an author one minute, the turned away “OH-EM-GEE” fan-girling the next!

I feel like a little kid. Thanks, publishers and ABA for creating this kingdom!
