I was beyond thrilled to have been able to go to an utterly fabulous author event yesterday at BookCourt in Brooklyn with three utterly fabulous authors: Cecil Castellucci, Natalie Standiford, and Siobhan Vivian. I absolutely adore these three talented authors and their books, so this was an exciting opportunity!
My subway ride to Brooklyn took about half as much time as I thought it would, so I was pretty much the first person there for the event, which didn't bother me because I got a superb front row seat for the action. Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure. I was going to upload the videos I took of each author reading from her latest book, but Blogger seems to not want that to happen.

I'm so glad I was able to make it to this awesome event. I got five books signed to add to my collection, but even more exciting than that and meeting these wonderful women, I actually met an incredibly lovely publicist from Scholastic! She even took this last picture for me. It's like networking, even though I don't officially work in the publishing industry yet.
So that was my fantastic day yesterday (sorry if I'm running out of exciting adjectives). I want to send out a big virtual hug of thanks to everyone who made it possible, especially the authors!
