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.
xoxo
