YA Event at Anderson's

I am clearly spoiled living so close to Naperville's Anderson's Books. Look at this lineup of YA authors coming to the store this Friday:

 

 

Don’t let Friday the 13th scare you. Young Adult readers are welcome to visit with six authors who share their exciting teen titles. Meet:

• Lisa and Laura Roecker (The Liar Society) - I read their blog
• Leah Clifford (A Touch Mortal)
• Sara Bennett Wealer (Rival)
• Julia Karr (XVI) - I have this book at home but haven't read it yet
• Saundra Mitchell (The Vespertine) - On my Must Buy Next list; I'm in awe of the extensive research she did for this book.
• Courtney Allison Moulton (Angelfire) - I saw her in March at another Anderson's Event
• Sarah Rees Brennan (Demon’s Convenant)

 Next week they're bringing in Sarah Dessen. I'm at the tail end of The Truth About Forever, which is the type of book I would have eaten up had it been around when I was in high school. She's like the Jodi Picoult of YA!

 

I'm definitely going out to see the Friday event. I love meeting and hearing directly from authors on their stories and experience with publication.
