Can members of the public suggest authors for next year or is it only through the publishers?
Both Isabel Allende and Christopher Moor have books out this year. Plus a local music favorite Neko Case’s memoir came out late 2024 so maybe we have her next year?
Thanks for sharing your idea, Lisa. All those books are sure to be popular with Tucsonans this year. We cannot accept the Presenting Author self-nomination forms from the public. What happens is that they sometimes overwrite the author's own self-nomination in the system. Commenting here is a good way to let us know your thoughts-- or, like I said, write to the authors and ask them to consider coming!
I really enjoyed time to reflect on TFOB 2025 and the marvelous experience. I like the encouragement to be involved in TFOB 2026 from various perspectives.
This is a good idea-- we have not yet figured out how to fund and support quality recording of more of the presentations, and we're grateful to C-SPAN for what we do have. This is on our radar as a goal to work toward and thank you for your interest.

Can’t wait for March!

I've saved the dates, and I'm already there in my mind.
Me too!
I had hoped more of the presentations in the big rooms would be recorded and be available for the year following. , i.e. maureen Dowd...
