NYC Trip: Part 1

As you all know, I went to NYC. And many of you on twitter, after telling me you hate me (love you all too), told me I better take pictures. So here are some of those pictures:

Here is the view from our hotel room:

Zomg Yan! I saw this obviously thought of you.


Here is Sharon at the Strand:


The Strand is quite possibly the greatest place on Earth. I want to live there. I got many fabulous books there. Unfortunately I can't tell you what they are, since I had to ship them to my house and don't have them yet.


And now, we reach the author photos. This was taken at the event on Friday. Here we have Paul Griffin, Rita Williams-Garcia, Coe Booth, and Maureen Johnson.


The Friday event was super. I met my new friends Mitali and Valentina whilst waiting in line. :D

Here is a blurry Maureen Johnson reading from chapter 1 of Scarlett Fever:



Here is the MAGNIFICENT Coe Booth reading from her story in the Push anthology:


Coe is awesome. She introduced Valentina, Mitali, and I to all the other amazing authors there. Yay Coe!

Here is Rita Williams-Garcia reading from Jumped:


Here is David Levithan:


AAAAAAHHHH.

And no, I did not scream or faint when I met him. Really, I didn't. Just ask Coe.

Here is Cecily von GossipGirl (I cannot spell her last name and don't feel like looking it up) reading from...some Gossip Girl book.


Here is David Levithan raeding from his upcoming book, Love is the Higher Law:



ZOMG GUYS. What he read was AMAZING. And I'm not just saying that because he is David Levithan and I love him.

And that's all for today. I will post part 2 soon!

  2. YAY - thanks for sharing. Looks like so much fun. And David Levithan looks pretty relaxed even knowing that his super stalker is there ready to pounce.

  3. Sharon: I will send you the pictures of you soon! :D

    Lenore: But he didn't know I am his super-stalker. Which is probably why he was relaxed.

  8. I didn't even know David had a new book coming out. Must go find out more about it!

    Great pics! :) I can't wait to see Parts 2 and beyond! Also, you need to take a picture of all the sigs in my copy of Let It Snow so I can see what Maureen wrote. Or you could just tell me what she wrote, but I kinda want to see all the awesome signatures in one place, hehe.

  9. Yan: That's because everyone loves Spectacular!

    Emily: It was amazing! :D

    Hope: 0:-)

    BC: You will see them when I send the book back! xD
