Thanks, Renee.
And thank you all for coming out tonight.
A quick technical note before we start.
You'll notice we have all of our readers' books
for sale tonight.
And some of these books have a 10% discount
and some have a 20% discount for faculty members and students
with a cat card.
But enough of that.
Very excited and honored to introduce tonight's
lovely readers, Melissa Buckheit, Karen Rigby,
and Anne Shaw.
And the order that they'll be reading tonight is just that.
Melissa will start first, followed by Karen,
and then finally with Anne.
