Hey all! So, what was the Teen Author Carnival like? Well, it was a lot of fun and it gave me a small taste of what to expect at BEA itself. I chose to attend two panels – one, on Kick Ass Females in YA: and Why it’s a Big Deal to Have Them and the second was Teenage Angst: Getting it Right – The Emotions, the Voice, the Drama. Signing post-panels Both panels were so much fun – I got there early enough to get a seat, yup, not everybody got a seat since the event was fully booked! First the moderators asked the authors a few questions and then they gave the audience a chance to ask questions.

After the panels the authors all signed their books (the library had the books on sale) and some authors also brought swag! (Yes my lovelies, there is swag for you!) More from me tomorrow! Happy Reading!
