There’s plenty of bold-faced names coming to this year’s National Book Festival, hosted by the Library of Congress and scheduled for the end of September.
“The Today Show’s” Hoda Kotb will be on hand to discuss her new book, “Hoda: How I Survived War Zones, Bad Hair, Cancer and Kathie Lee.” Actress Julianne Moore, who recently transformed into former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for the HBO movie “Game Change,” will tout her children’s book series “Freckleface Strawberry.” Garrison Keillor, the radio personality behind “A Prairie Home Companion,” will share his favorite poems from “Good Poems, American Places.”
In addition Toni Morrison, David McCullough and Jim Lehrer are all slated to attend and will be among the nearly 100 authors. The Book Festival will take place on the National Mall Sept. 24 and 25.
