NYC: Part 2 (finally)

Part 2 of my NYC post is finally here! Yay. Rejoice and be glad.

Here is the outside of The Strand:

Here is me with the amazing Maureen Johnson:

Did you know that Maureen doesn't run from people who stalk her? She doesn't. Valentina, Mitali, and I stalked her one day at an event. It was fun.


Here is the amazingly awesome Coe Booth and me:

Coe is THE BEST. She introduced me and Valentina and Mitali to a bunch of fabulous authory people. Yay Coe!

Speaking of Coe, Valentina, and Mitali, here is a picture of me with the three of them:


Here is me with Rachel Cohn and DAVID LEVITHAN! The people responsible for the awesomeness that is Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist and Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List!


Here is me with Scott Westerfeld:


Know how I said Valentina, Mitali, and I stalked Maureen Johnson for a bit? Well, we stalked him too. Fun!


Here is me with the awesomeawesome Sarah Maclean:


She and Madeleine George allowed Mitali, my mom, and I to eat lunch with them. Whee!

Also, an interview with Sarah should show up on the blog here sometime soon. (That is, when she gets the interview back to me. Sarah?)

Here is me and Melissa Walker, who is fabulous:

I introduced myself to Melissa as "the crazy David Levithan girl." No better description could be given.

Here are all the authors who participated in the giant YA Author Round Robin Story Of Awesome. I won't post the story videos here because there are many, but here is a link to them.


Here is me with Megan McCafferty:


She was super duper nice. She got to the one event near the end, when Mitali, me, and my mom were getting ready to leave. But before we left we talked to her a bit. Funfunfun.

Here is Robin Wasserman signing my book:


This is what the giant 40 author signing looked like. IT WAS TERRIBLE, standing in that crowd.


Here is Gayle Forman (at least I'm 90% sure that's Gayle Forman. xD) signing my copy of If I Stay.


Adele, I so wish I knew you and Gayle were friendlies because I could've gone up to her and been like "I know Adele, who you know too!" and then she would have talked about how awesome you are.

Here is Micol Ostow and me:


Micol is awesome. :D

Here is Blake Nelson reading from his upcoming book Destroy All Cars.

What he read was fabulous, so I'm on the lookout for the book now. Dun dun dun.

Here is Siobhan Vivian and me:



When I met Siobhan I mentioned knowing Korianne from Twitter, who Siobhan also knows, and she said "Oh, I know Kori!" and I was like "Kori is FAMOUS."

In that photo you can also kind of see the patch on my jacket that says Salvatore. You get one million awesome points if you know what that means.

And here is me with Elizabeth Scott:


No one told me Elizabeth would be there. So when I saw her I was like "!!!!!" At the time I thought I may have scared her a bit. But on her blog she mentioned meeting me so now that I know she remembers, I figure I couldn't have scared her that bad. Right?

That's it for my NYC posts (finally). You can see a few more pictures over at Sharon's blog though. (:
