I will be praying and thank you for everything.

ThE eNd Of TlA....

It was the end of T.L.A. and I was very sad that they had to go! I woke up around four in the morning destine to get DREAMLESS from Harper teen Collins Publisher! I was very happy, it really pay off. Donating the books to Texas Children's Hospital was very rewarding. If you and ANY body who has children books or young adult books and do not want them... Please give them to TEXAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL!!!!!! (Level 16 to the right and first door on the right side.) They are in need of a lot of books for the children.... Candlewick people who was working the booth was mean about the donation and MADE me pay for the three books that I gave to T.C.H.! Thanks to everybody who HELP me get the books for T.C.H. and of course the authors who sign the books.

dAy TwO aT tLa!!!!

It was Teen Book DAy at TLA and the place was PACK to the max. To my surprise Veronica Roth gave copies of INSURGENT, Kristian Cashore was giving out BETTERBLUE and Lauren Kate was given out Rapture. These three books are very HOT right now in the young adult book world. There was a lot of laid back teens from all across TEXAS. I even saw some of my old librarians that I went to school at. I got a bag and a half full of ARC books. The food I ate today was the beef fajitas Nachos with EVERYTHING on it expect spicy items. It was wonderful and better then the BBQ, I had yesterday. I gave it a four star rating for the food overall value.

Tomorrow is going to be the last day of TLA and the Publishers are going to be Given Away ALL the books they have and it is going to be like WAR at George R. Bown Convention Center...  getting all these FREE BOOKS!!! It is going to be fun and exiting all at the same time. Tune in for some more updates to come tomorrow!

Teen Book Con

Teen Book Con was held at Aleif Taylor High School this past Saturday. Over 25 or more authours took their time out of there busy work to come and express their latest cretion. I had the honor of having all the authors sign my journal and took some silly pitures to post on my blog. This was free to the public and was very cheap food. The way the Taylor Hgh School handled it was very calm and relaxing. I really had a great time and can't wait for the next one next year. Pitures are to come! I am still figuring out how to put them in this account. Please bare with me.
