Good message.

I know this isn't about books but it is about conventions and we are on the topic of it:

Star Wars Celebration 2020 is canceled, it will return to Anaheim in 2022

Quote:

From StarWars.com:

"To our Star Wars Celebration fans and friends,

At Star Wars Celebration, the health and safety of our fans, attendees, exhibitors, guests and staff is always our number one priority. Due to the global impact of the COVID-19 virus and in speaking with local and state authorities on the latest public health guidelines related to indoor conventions, we have made the decision to cancel Star Wars Celebration for 2020.

While this news is disappointing, we are happy to announce that Star Wars Celebration will return to the Anaheim Convention Center on August 18-21, 2022. [...]"

Really not surprised they canceled. 2022 should have a lot of events.

**BehrItAll** · 06-16-2020, 06:03 PM

And *cross fingers* no Covid or anything else to ruin 2022!

I've always been interested in learning more about the cave, so this will be interesting.

Yea. And is it from the POV of the Force or an animal that lives in the cave?

I hear her book Deathless is a lot like the Winternight Trilogy.
