National Book Festival!

It was awesome, and once they post the videos online I hope I can gif some of my favorite moments for everyone. But until then, I will leave you with my strongest sentiment from the weekend:

Veronica Roth is ridiculously good looking in real life.

And also a super feminist.

She is awesome.
