Do you realize how excited I am for this book event that happens to be right here in my hometown of Houston, Texas?! Extremely excited is putting it mildly. If you are in or around the area on April 9, 2011 you should definitely check it out. The YA author line-up is insane! I know myself & quite a few other book bloggers plan to attend. If you are going to be there, please let me know. I can't wait to meet some of these authors & connect with more local bookish peeps.

I just want to say I wish I lived in TX. I should have thought about this ahead of time and tried to stay with my aunt in TX...Why am I just thinking about this now?! lol.
WOW! I had no idea this event was happening! I'd love to go if I can convince my boyfriend to drive from Baton Rouge to Houston on Friday night. I have a feeling I'd be nervous around the authors, since I'm not a very outgoing person,
ReplyDeletebut it would be an amazing experience! Do you know what the dress code is? Casual, semi formal, etc.?
Thanks for posting.

ReplyDeleteStephanie Perkins?!?!?! Ahhh, I really want to meet her.
