Teen Book Con

On April 26th a group of teens, Lisa, and I attended Teen Book Con hosted by Blue Willow Bookshop at Alief Taylor High School. It was a day full of lots of interactions with lots of amazing authors. I was in awe most of the time, sometimes in awe of the authors (I mean, Laurie Halse Anderson, you guys!) but mostly in awe of all the teens and the excellent questions they had and how excited they were to see and meet the authors. Basically, I love when anyone loves something. 

We took tons of pictures so I thought I'd post some here and over at the TAG facebook page! 


Yeah that's THE Laurie Halse Anderson talking to us (except I was in the bathroom!)

None of us can wait for next year! You should come too!

DFTBA,
Sti
