Lyndele wins a shopping bag this week, but all entrants are eligible for the Baldacci-Trigiani tickets.
We’re kicking off the 15 weeks to the 15th anniversary by starting a blog where we invite your answers/comments. We call it the “Mixed Bag Challenge.” The question could be about the Festival, or books, or Charlottesville…we just want to hear from our fans. Every week will be a new challenge or contest, and the best answer each week (as judged by the Festival or its designee) will get a free 15th anniversary shopping bag! Just for participating, we’ll enter you in a raffle for soughtafter tickets to a Festival event!
So tell us this week…15. What do you love about the Virginia Festival of the Book in 15 words?
Deadline, Wednesday, Dec 10.
Books, speakers, books, speakers, books, speakers, books, speakers, books, speakers, books, speakers, books and books!!
I love that Viriginia is for book lovers!
It celebrates the one thing I hold dearer than my life – our friend the BOOK!
The “Festival” is the “Hollywood” of books, and our authors are our stars. I love “star-gazing.”
Authors’ stories enhancing my enjoyment of their books — Wow! what a great time I’ve had!
Grisham, Mosley, Chappel, Smith, Brooks, CHABON, Keillor, Garrett, Baldacci, St. John, and a bunch more
Being around book lovers-finding a wonderful book I might have missed on my own
Intellectual illustrations involving individuals in immortal ideas imbued in identifying interesting idioms inherent in imagery.
The festival satisfies my literary urgings, while putting a face to what I read.
books, friends, Charlottesville, diversity, culture, awesome speakers, and the opportunity to go green!
The way my co-workers roll their eyes when I tell them I am taking a day off work to go to a book festival.

The huge selection of books to purchase is by far my favorite.
Southern accents and urban intellect, great bookstores and the writing world – opportunities for all!
It celebrates the joy of reading across generations, genre and gender!
