Our 1st Book Convention!

On Saturday April 9th, we attended a book convention!

We were invited by my friend Cheryl, and her son Andrew.

Cheryl was especially excited for this year's convention because

they were holding a Teen Day for the young adult readers!

Nina LOVES to read! She reads any chance she gets.

And often times, she's reading in bed when she should be asleep!

When she heard about the convention, she was all for it!

Here is Nina with one of her favorite authors - Michelle Jaffe

Nina bought one of her books, and had it signed.

Michelle was one of THE COOLEST authors we met Saturday!

She loved Nina's tutu, and told us she wanted one in pink as well.

She also told us that she wears roller skates when she writes!

A quick picture of Nina & I at the convention.

We were having so much fun together!

Cheryl couldn't wait to see her favorite author- Catherine Coulter!

Such a lovely woman. She even took the time to chat.
Cheryl LOVES reading her books!

While Andrew & Nina were waiting for the

Teen workshop to start, they did what all book lovers do...

They started reading a book they bought at the book fair!

They were so into their books, they didn't know I  was there!

This is Clare B. Dunkle - another of Nina's favorite authors!

Nina wanted to chat with her at the book fair, and so did everyone else!

Nina had a chance to attend a workshop and Clare was on the panel.

Nina was so mesmerized, she asked begged me to buy her book!

After all the Teen workshops were finished,

Nina & Andrew attended a Teen Party!

This was a neat event! I got to go as a Teen "companion".

They handed out swag bags to the first 250 teens!

(even the teen companions were loaded up w/goodies!)

Nina & Andrew went home with nearly 10 books,

TONS of signatures, pictures, great memories,

and an even deeper love for reading!
