What was the best part of the first-ever Austin Teen Book Festival, really? Was it accosting Libba Bray in the bathroom (after her amazing and inspiring keynote), and begging her to come to the Decatur Book Festival? Was it the wicked-awesome schwag bag, and the killer tour guide who came with it? The chance to meet Topher-the-Amazing from Book People, or the likes of Deb Caletti and Matt de la Pena (and Lisa McMann, and Cynthia Leitich-Smith, and Heather Brewer, and then some?) Or was it, instead, the completely-awesome Thriller dance that was performed for us during lunch?  I’m not sure! It was all really great! As you can see!
