The author of Captain Underpants (the greatest book of all time) will also be in attendance and willing to sign your copy of his book. During the event, there will also be scheduled panels and screenings where authors have the opportunity to share their stories and experiences with their fans.

From Romance Novels to Business Books, there is something for everyone to enjoy at BookCon. This year, the literary festival features dedicated booths for the newly popular adult coloring books (which we’re pretty big fans of). Feel free to bring your children along, as authors of your child’s favorite bedtime stories will also be in attendance.

For the bookworms out there, buy tickets while you still can. Nobody knows when BookCon will be back in Chicago – at least not yet. Feel free to bring your own books for authors to sign, though some of them may provide a limited quantity of complimentary books for you to enjoy.
