Getting Psyched About The Austin Teen Book Festival!

So, my total BFF from second grade whom I’ve known and loved forever lives in Austin, TX. And I was way overdue to visit her and see her new house there, anyway. So boy-oh-boy was I extra-excited when we found out that the Austin Teen Book Festival was going on down there on October 24th, and then I was even more excited when they actually invited me to be on a panel. With Deb Caletti! And Matt de la Pena! So now I am planning outfits and choosing Fluevogs and making notes on index cards and thinking of questions to ask my fellow panelists (suggestions welcome), and also getting giddy about meeting Libba Bray! And Lisa McMann! And a bunch of other wicked-cool YA authors! Yeehaw!

Check out the schedule and situation, and maybe I’ll see you there!
