On Sunday, 50 young people, six authors and other assorted interested/ing individuals gathered at the State Library, to hear two additional authors talk about stuff, and eat cake.

Here’s a photo of that first Bookgig. See if you can find Tiny Lili**.
*ZOMG.
**Clue: Jeans too short. White socks. Otherwise, I haven't really changed.
