ALA: A Post in Pictures

Okay, so, yet again ALA was a phenomenal time. I swear it gets better and better every year.

So, here's what went down in New Orleans:

I ate my FIRST EVER beignet. Holy delicious.

Seriously, are you drooling yet?

I got to hang with some of my favorite writing friends!
Cristin Terrill, Alexandra Shostack, PJ Hoover,
Jessica Lee Anderson, & Carolina Valdez Miller

And Shannon Messenger

And Tere Kirkland, whose NOLA knowledge was invaluable!

I also got to meet some AWESOME authors!
Here, with Franny Billingsly, who wrote Chime, which I can NOT wait to read.

With Lisa Desrochers, author of Personal Demons and
the recently released Original Sin!

With JAY ASHER! I heart his books. A lot.

With the HI-larious Jonathan Auxier, author of
Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes

With Kimberley Griffiths Little
Author of many books including recently released
The Healing Spell

With Elana Johnson (Possession), Jenny Han (The Summer I Turned Pretty),
Jessi Kirby (Moonglass), and Corey Whaley (Where Things Come Back) 

I mean... Who could resist?

And then we ate some more beignets. 

The End.

Sike, not really. 

It's not the end. Not yet. 

Because first I have to give you a little heads up (twss) to visit again on Thursday for a giveaway in which I share some of my ALA spoils with you. 

ARCs. 

That you want. 

Like, a lot. 

Trust.
