This weekend at UCLA is the annual LA Times Festival of Books. I’ll be heading to the presentation of the LAT Book Prizes the evening before, and then at the festival all day, both days. If you’ve never gone before, you should try to head up to UCLA for a little – the Festival is one of the best things about LA.
Here’s my itinerary … drop me a line if you’ll be at any of these panels:
