Q: What's your favorite book convention you've attended OR one you hope to one day attend?. 📚 Last weekend I was able to attend ALA (American Library Association) Annual in Washington, D.C. Full blog post up now, link in bio. This was my first time attending & I’m so glad I finally experienced ALA Annual! It lives up to the hype that everyone says about it. Proof of vaccination or negative test as well as wearing a mask while in the convention center were required for ALA this year and I’m personally so glad they put these safety measures in place. I felt a lot safer with everyone (almost everyone) wearing a mask the entire time. I met some amazing authors and got to meet friends I only knew virtually! 🧙🏻‍♀️ Emily Hampshire, who played Stevie on Schitt’s Creek, and she was so incredibly nice! She has a book coming out in October 2022 called Amelia Aierwood – Basic Witch. ⚾️ Nic Stone - I actually got a book signed for my friend Elizabeth instead of myself, since she loves Nic Stone! Nic is an amazing person and so chill, if you ever get the chance to meet her – do it. 🔥 Jason Reynolds - one of the highlights of my weekend. Due to time he wasn’t personalizing sadly but it was still nice to meet him! He laughed at my "lips" face mask and that was fun, always a great conversation starter. (Not pictured):. 🕯Sabaa Tahir signed her graphic novel, A Thief Among the Trees, which I haven’t read yet but can’t wait to dive into, since I loved An Ember in the Ashes. 🍋 Emily Thiede, author of This Vicious Grace, was also a lot of fun since I loved that book. 🌈 Maia Kobabe, author of Gender Queer, a beautiful graphic novel and Maia was so kind. Overall I received 94 books total – 69 arcs & 25 finished copies! PHEW! I think I’m set with my reading materials for a while 🤓 ALA Annual 2023 is in Chicago, IL. I’m not sure yet if I’ll attend next year, but it is an amazing and fun experience and I highly recommend attending if you can! #ALA #ALAAnnual #alaannualconference #bookconvention #bookevent #bookishevent #NicStone #JasonReynolds #emilyhampshire #meetingauthors (at Walter E.
