American Library Association Conference

Every year the American Library Association (ALA) holds a huge conference. This year from June 24-29 the conference was held in Washington, D.C. I was privileged enough to go and meet many fabulous authors. Cornelia Funke was there was there with galleys of Reckless. John Green was there with Will Grayson and Lauren Numeroff was there with If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. There were so many other nice authors that I couldn't name them all. They also had free books that they would just set out. I bought two sets of bookmarks that smell like maple syrup and fresh laundry. On the last day of the conference I bought some books for $2.50. In a bookstore they are almost all $10. I was sad to leave but happy to get home and read all of the 100 or so books I brought home.
