Going On Now ... The Fabulous MJCCA Book Festival

Atlanta is a book-loving town and we are fortunate to have one of the country's premier book festivals in our own backyard.   The MJCCA Book Festival, known locally as the Jewish Book Festival, is always a treat.  Held annually in November, the folks at the MJCCA know how to put on a great festival, handle details like parking, and welcome one and all to their campus on Tilly Milly Road in Dunwoody.

This year's fest started on the 6th and continues until November 21st.   As usual, they've got a great line-up of authors that appeal to all ages and all tastes:   Pat Conroy, Gene Wilder, Naomi Ragen, Nicole Krauss, Yann Martel, Jeffrey Stepakoff,  Martin Fletcher, Sara Gruen, Joseph Skibell, Cathleen Schine, Rita Cosby, and plenty more.
