Author Event: David Levithan, Andrea Cremer, A.R. Kahler, TommyWallach, and Goldy Moldavsky

Hi all!
I was back in PA this week for spring break and there happened to be a fun event going on at Haverford's Children's Book World.  Coincidentally, I looked on their website yesterday and found that they were having an event today!

Who was there?

David Levithan- Another Day

 Andrea Cremer- The Conjuerer's Riddle (The Inventor's Secret #2)

A.R. Kahler- Shades of Darkness

Tommy Wallach-Thanks for the Trouble

Goldy Moldavsky- Kill the Boy Band

Each author read a passage from their newest book.  Some even had other authors playing different characters in their books, and the atmosphere was cheery and jovial.  

Some interesting things I learned tonight: 

• There will be a sequel to Dash and Lily's Book of Dares.  It will be Christmas themed.
• Andrea Cremer contributed to an anthology about women that came out yesterday on International Women's Day.  It's called A Tyranny of Petticoats
• Alex Kahler killed off the character based off of his ex.
• Tommy Wallach used to hang out in hotels in NYC often while he studied at NYU.
• Goldy Moldavsky thinks Justin Timberlake was the worst member of NSYNC because of his ramen noodle hair.

Were you at this event?  Did you read any of the book written by the authors that visited?

  

I Love Books: Book Haul

My daddy said that I could buy as many books as I wanted.  If I did that, I would have maxed out the credit card.  However, here's what I did decided on at my local indie store!!! Support those little bookstores :)

I got Bright Before Sunrise by Tiffany Schmidt because I was there for that book signing.  I'll leave a photo of the signed title page because it's so cute, and you can read about the super original pajama party book launch here!!

Also got Maybe One Day by Melissa Kantor for an upcoming book signing.  I mostly got it because I hate showing up to multiple author book signings without having a book for everyone, but I've heard wonderful things about it!!!!!!!

Next, Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi! I got to support her and her awesomeness.  And it is the epic conclusion.

Lastly, I got Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan.  I saw David last month, but I didn't get this signed so now I have an excuse to see him again :) Have to have a complete signed, first edition collection of David's work!  Yes, I'm a nerd, but I thought I established this already.
