Carly, I cannot believe how much you did before, during, and now after the festival! Thank you so much for reading all our books, asking such great questions in all our author interviews, taking pictures like the ones above, being so sparkling and charming all weekend long even though you were entitled to be exhausted--you really did such a great job. Thank you so much!
