Road trip to the Texas Library Conference Teen Event!



We got Everfound!

Graham, Nikita, Corey, Sky, and Willie joined me on a road trip to Austin last week...wow, did we have fun. Some highlights of the trip were:

• Getting free advance reader copies (ARCs) of about 30 books each, including Everfound by Neal Shusterman.
• Hanging with authors like James Dashner (Maze Runner) and Carrie Ryan (Forest of Hands and Teeth). We have video to prove it!
• Lunch on Sixth Street
• A midnight dinner at IHOP where we saw many interesting sights (you'll have to ask them). Hint: A floral sundress was involved.
• Being stuffed into the district truck, hopping curbs because I can't drive a dualie, singing old 80s songs to drown out Sky's disturbing fondness for country music.

Hope I can take more of you guys next year. It was a blast.
