2020’s Virtual Bookish Events

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the cancellation of many author tours, bookstore events, and conferences. The bookish community already thrives online through readathons and bookworm groups, and now they’re investing in even more virtual events to stay connected and support each other. Here’s a list of virtual events readers can attend.
