The Read With Jenna Book Festival is curating a guest list any book lover would swoon over. Elin Hilderbrand, who wrote some of our favorite beach reads,\u00a0will join Ann Patchett, world-renowned novelist and co-owner of Nashville&#8217;s treasured Parnassus Books. Add to that Chris Whitaker, author of the highest-rated thriller of the Read With Jenna book club, &#8220;All the Colors of the Dark.&#8221; The lineup doesn&#8217;t stop there: Rumaan Alam, whose unsettling novel &#8220;Leave the World Behind&#8221; left readers reeling, Emma Straub of Brooklyn&#8217;s beloved Books Are Magic, and Jean Kwok, whose &#8220;Searching for Sylvie Lee&#8221; captured hearts and headlines.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">General admission starts at $399, offering access to Saturday&#8217;s full slate of programming \u2014 author-led sessions, book club conversations, fresh meals and drinks, plus entry to the Shop TODAY Brand Bazaar, where guests can sample fan-favorite products and take home a curated bundle of goodies. For those craving something extra, VIP packages\u00a0 at $699 unlock a private Friday evening reception, exclusive meet-and-greets, and expedited check-in. Either way, it&#8217;s a chance to swap the Instagram feed for real interactions \u2014 and maybe leave with a few signed editions.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Take it from Jenna herself: &#8220;It&#8217;s going to be so much fun,&#8221; she told TODAY. So, if your idea of a dream weekend getaway involves good books, best friends, and a little Southern Charm, Nashville might just be calling your name.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Read With Jenna Book Festival has a lot waiting for you in Nashville This isn&#8217;t your average book club meeting.
