I am in Atlanta, enjoying the post-podium high of a panel presentation: Reach Don't Preach! with Teri Lesesne, Tanya Lee Stone, Laura Ruby, and Sonya Somes.
We had a wonderful time!
(If anyone who took a picture, please email! I always forget my camera.)
The audience had so many great questions--I felt like we could have talked for another hour. It was really inspiring--talking to teachers on "the front line," trying new things, looking to recognize their students and mentor them. They had great stories--about the effect of books in the classroom. It was great to meet so many readers interested in YA fiction.
And the thai food at SPOON, is worth the taxi-ride across town!
I go home tomorrow...hopefully, to warm weather!
