The 14th annual Pulpwood Queens Girlfriend Weekend in Jefferson, Tex., featured a resplendent gathering of book lovers, authors and even an Elvis impersonator or three to evoke this year's theme, "Viva Las Vegas, Baby!" Kathy L. Murphy (pictured front left next to author Jamie Ford), founder of Girlfriend Weekend as well as the Pulpwood Queens Book Club--which has more than 500 chapters nationwide--informed us that "every year I present my own personal Kat Award to those who help us promote literacy. This year it went regionally to Charm Magazine for giving me a Pulpwood Queen Book Review Page and Internationally to Shelf Awareness for helping us share our news on promoting authors, books, literacy and reading BIG TIME." Thank you, Kathy!
