The 7th annual Decatur Book Festival just ended and I think they had the best selection of authors ever! We went to a super fun author reception at the Little Shop of Stories to kick off the book festival. It was a really great opportunity to meet authors and illustrators and have fun. There was even a photo booth with silly props, so we got take lots of funny pictures with the authors. Peter Brown, author and illustrator, was probably the best model there.
I also got to talk to Dave Pilkey, the author of the Captain Underpants; he stayed for 3 hours signing books! What a great person. I saw Tom Angleberger, who also likes to be called Larry, just don't call him Tom AngleBOOGER. He was great with the crowd. And I saw Heather Brewer, author of The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod, The Slayer Chronicles, and her newest book, Soulbound. She is my favorite author! I didn't get to see everyone there, but I still had a great time.
We also revealed the On The Same Page book selection for 2012, Louis Sachar's Holes, by dancing with shovels to a song from the movie! Make sure you get On The Same Page with us.
This year we had a great festival and I am looking forward to next year. Thank you to AJC, Little Shop of Stories, and the City of Decatur.
