Austin Teen Book Fastival 2011

For the third consecutive year, I was able to go to the Austin Teen Book Festival and enjoy of the awesomeness that YA Authors have to offer. This time around it was a mess bigger than any other year. But you know how we, yalit peeps are just smile and keep it going. I was one of the volunteers during the signing. The huge amount of authors were amazing and the attendance was more than I could have even imagined. According to PW, more than $30,000 were sold!

I got to see David Levithan for the first time! This was the pinnacle of my 2011. Though I'm seeing him again next Friday at Blue Willow! Let me know if you live in Houston and you're planning on going.

I won't bore you with more deets, thanks to Yara & Jen, here are the pics:

The one and only Stephanie Perkins!

Scott Westerfeld (HE is an awesome speaker!)

  6. How fun! I love meeting authors! I've never met movie/TV stars, but I doubt I could be excited meeting them as I am when meeting authors!
