The Anna Biller "Bluebeard's Castle" book event at Stories Books and Cafe was fantastic. All the books were sold out, and the chit-chat I had with Anna on their stage was a lot of fun. But I have to give credit to Anna's great audience, who are smart and wonderful people. That was the best Q&A session ever for a book event, all due to the high quality of Anna's fans. Congrats to Anna Biller and Stories for making this event a fun and a total success. #annabiller #thelovewitch #storiesbook&cafe
