Last year was the inaugural year for North Texas Teen Book Festival and it turned out to be one of the best book festivals I’ve ever gone to! I was able to volunteer and just soak up all the authors and books and literary flurry that permeated every square inch of the Las Colinas Convention Center.
I met some of my all-time favorite authors and this year, even MORE of my all-time favorite authors will be there. Basically, I’m just going to spend an entire day fan-girling…
Why?
Well because I’ll be able to see:
- Gayle Forman
- James Dashner
- Marie Lu
- Carrie Ryan
- Marie Rutkoski
- Ruta Sepetys
- Sarah Dessen
- E. Lockhart
- Beth Revis
- Ally Condie
AND SO MANY MORE!
There’s even a lunch the day before I’m attending, but I think the best part will be spending the day with my 13-year old niece Ashlyn who loves books as much as I do! Aunt/Niece bonding here we come.
I’m excited to be volunteering again this year… and you never know. Maybe next year I’ll be able to apply to attend as an author! 🙂
