The highlight was when Kate DiCamillo, Jon Scieszka, and Katherine Paterson -- the Holy Trifecta of Children's Literature -- came to visit. Definitely a starstruck (and mildly awkward) moment for me!<br /><br />Did you hear that Netflix is adapting A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS into a mini-series?Amy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08141251999644992909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738525889448975913.post-60013532866535576822014-10-30T17:50:26.474-07:002014-10-30T17:50:26.474-07:00Hi Joni!

I've started to get into the habit of searching for events, because sometimes there are things going on, but I'd never know because they aren't advertised that well. It's tricky, but well worth the effort! <br /><br />It is. It's so pretty. I started reading from it and it's so hard to put it down *_*CloudyKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17601048610753963689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738525889448975913.post-14128779049662499512014-10-30T17:47:40.473-07:002014-10-30T17:47:40.473-07:00YES, I remember you telling me about that.

I once saw an HGTV star, and the same thing happened to me as with you (replace "read with "watch" and you're totally accurate).<br /><br />Thanks! You are too.

The first one is probably the best. And yeah,it was pretty wonderful to meet an author whose work I loved so much for a change. In elementary school, USF held a young writers conference and they had several authors to speak and sign books, but I wasn't a huge fan of any of their works.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17021815690862468778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738525889448975913.post-35623967015899258752014-10-27T04:56:55.137-07:002014-10-27T04:56:55.137-07:00Like you, because of where I live I don't have...Like you, because of where I live I don't have many opportunities to go to events like these- or meet favorite authors for that matter. I would love to though… I think I need to try and look up book events in the "big city" closest to me…<br />Sounds like your day was AWESOME. And what finds! I love the edition of fairytales that you bought.

It was awkward. I was awkward. <br /><br />It was also beautiful, and maybe he'll remember me. <br /><br />Come out to LA for the Festival of Books! It's awesome!

Just make sure you study the schedule ahead of time so you know who you want to see. <br /><br />Awww, I've been wanting to read the Kingdom Keepers series for a while now! It seems very unlike me, as a Disney park fan, to have done that yet, haha. So I guess he was pretty awesome, eh?

I hope I can go to this in the future. <br /><br />In 8th grade, I was obsessed with the Kingdom Keepers book series by Ridley Pearson and convinced my dad to sign me out of school to take me to Orlando for a signing Pearson was holding with Dave Barry for their latest Peter & the Starcatchers book. I was in a daze the rest of the weekend.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17021815690862468778noreply@blogger.com
