Tenner Lunch!

So I had lunch with a few tenners on Friday- Kim Derting, Lindsey Leavitt, Bree Despain (or, if you are Sharon, Breeds Pain), Christy Raedeke, Jennifer Cervantes, Suzanne Young, Denise Jaden, and Matthew Kirby. The always- lovely Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl showed up as well, along with Jay Asher and Holly Black.

I also got to see Catt again (I see her all the time. o.o) and I got to meet Alicia and Vania! :D

We ate at a place called the Pink Taco. I, however, did not eat tacos there. I had enchiladas, om nom nom.


Vania and me. She's just as wonderful in person. :D

Me and Christy Raedeke, who rocks!


The table with all of us:


Those bags are gift bags my mom and I put together to say thanks to the authors for coming to lunch. :D

AND NOW BLOGGER IS NOT LETTING MY UPLOAD PICTURES. *kicks* (Gmail also won't let me email pictures. RUDE. #googlefail)

I will put more up later if it will let me, but I wanted to post this today to say thanks to the tenners and authors for being so awesome! I had an AWESOME time! Thanks to Kim Derting for setting the whole thing up and for chatting with Vania and me all throughout lunch. <3 Kim is wonderful!

Things I learned from the lunch:
  • Suzanne Young is just as adorable in person!
  • Christy Raedeke and I both agree that Kim Derting seems so innocent, but writes such creepy things. We think she's hiding something.
  • Bree Despain likes her new nickname, Breeds Pain. At least, I think she does. Maybe she is just amused by it. Bree also knows how to draw a platypus.
  • Jen Cervantes is so sweet and nice! :D
  • Denise still does not have a release day for her book, so Vania and I figured that Vania should go to SCBWI and find her editor and tell her we're dying to read Denise's book and need a release date for it ASAP. Also, Denise is super nice.
  • Lindsey Leavitt is tall. And she really likes her lip gloss, because she seemed super happy to get the one I gave her.
  • Kami and Margie are still wonderful.
  • AUTHORS ARE EVEN LOVELIER IN PERSON THAN ONLINE. (But I kind of already knew that.)
  • Bloggers are lovelier in person too. (Kind of knew that too.)

  4. Oh, wooooot! LA sounds like a cool place to be... though my East Coast/New Yorker side still won't give it up, hehe. It sounds like so much fun! And those goodie thank you bags are so sweet! Great idea.

    And Frenetic Reader fans everywhere: believe it or not, Khy's bangs are even more resplendent in real life.

    Thanks again for the gift bag! I've been jacked up on Mayan chocolate nibs for days. :)
