Author Reception at Little Shop of Stories
I was so eager to get to the author reception at Little Shop of Stories that my heart was pounding in my chest. I was wondering who I would see when we arrived. My legs started to tingle. I opened the door and I saw authors galore! At this point I probably looked like a geek, because I was jumping up and down and smiling wildly.
I calmed down and then my friend introduced me to the photo booth where we dressed like hams and posed for the camera. We thought the camera might run out of batteries so we let other people have a turn.
My mother called me over to where she was standing. There was Joan Holub! I immediately started jumping again. I was about to fan-girl it. I love her Goddess Girl books and have read all of them. Once I calmed down, we chatted like the Goddess girls at MOA Academy. Joan Holub was very kind and I really enjoyed meeting her.
After I said and did all the things I possibly could with Ms Holub, I went upstairs to play with my friends, Jenny and Phoebe. Soon, my brother, Marsh, came to get me so I could meet some more authors.
My mom wanted me to meet the author of Beautiful Creatures, Margaret Stohl. I loved her variety of glasses--she had, like, six pairs in her purse. Lucky duck! She introduced me to her friend named Meg. I had no idea it was Meg Cabot, author of the Allie Finkle books. I was thrilled to meet her!
After meeting Ms Cabot, I stayed downstairs for a while and had a funny conversation with Shannon Hale, Author of The Princess Academy series, about our favorite green people. That was another highlight of the night.
When I went to say goodbye to Joan Holub, I met the author Kenneth Oppel--he wrote a super-scary book called This Dark Endeavor. He signed my copy of the book!
I had so much fun that night. Thank you Little Shop of Stories!

This is me and Meg Cabot! (Thanks, Margaret Stohl)
Decatur Book Festival
This year was the 7th annual Decatur Book Festival. I think this festival is a great place for everyone to interact and get to know what her favorite authors are like. I got to meet Heather Brewer, Joan Holub and got the best author signature ever from Shannon Hale! I loved seeing Tom Angleburger, Rania Telgemeier, Nick Breul, and Peter Brown. They were all at the children's stage. (This things they said was serious comedy gold.)
They also introduced the book for this year's ON The Same Page on the children's stage. I can't wait to read it. (P.S., it's Holes by Louis Sachar.)
This makes me laugh.
I'm holding the newest in The Goddess Girls Series!!
I love Joan Holub! You should read her series The Goddess Girls.
We are On the Same Page and reading Holes!
