Welcome to Litsy!

And I got them all signed, woohoo! #bookhaul #NTBF18

My #bookhaul from NOVA Teen Book Festival this past weekend!! #NTBF18

I attended the NOVA Teen Book Festival on Saturday, and it was a great time! I got to meet up w/ fellow Littens and got to sit in on great panels w/ authors: Tomi Adeyemi, Audrey Coulthurst, Susan Dennard, A.C. Gaughen, Dhonielle Clayton, Shaun Hutchinson, Jennifer Mathieu, Sam Miller, Dana Mele, Karen McManus, K. Ancrum, Kimberly Reid, Megan Miranda, Alexandra Christo, Sarah Glenn Marsh, Jodi Meadows, Linsey Miller, & Anna-Marie McLemore! #NTBF18

Among the reasons I attended NoVaTeen was to see Eric Smith. Eric lived in Richmond for too brief a time, and many of us miss him. Glad he made it. Saw him with Anna-Marie McLemore and Shaun David Hutchinson on a panel about anthologies. Was a great conversation with some interesting insights into how anthologies are made. #novateenbf #NTBF18

Litsy had lots of representation at today‘s NoVaTeen Book Festival in Arlington, Virginia. The festival was great (I‘ll post some more pics a little later), and it was super cool getting to hang out with so many fellow Littens! Definitely need to make some more frequent trips up this way to do this again. Hope I‘ve got everyone tagged here. #NoVaTeen #LitsyMeetup #NTBF18

A panel about court intrigue, and characters who foil it. I came out of this really wanting to read both To Kill a Kingdom by Christo and Before She Ignites by Jodi Meadows. #ntbf18

If you ever get the chance to see a conversation between Dhonielle Clayton and Tomi Adeyemi, do it. They are funny, smart, and delightful. I wanted to read both their books SO MUCH after this panel! #ntbf18

‪Listening to Dhonielle Clayton and Tomi Adeyemi talk about their writing and their influences, and they are a blast. #novateenbookfest #AmWriting ‬#NTBF18

Started off the day at NoVa Teen with a panel on magic systems in fantasy. Was a great panel that included Tomi Adeyemi and Susan Dennard. This is the first time I‘ve heard Tomi speaking, and she is as awesome as so many have said. Can‘t wait to read her book! #NoVaTeen #NTBF18

Made it to the NoVa Teen Book Festival in Arlington. Looking forward to seeing Eric Smith again. This festival has some amazing authors lined up. Gonna post a lot of pics today. #NoVaTeen #OnTheRoad #NTBF18
