Someone gave these beautiful words to me at NTTBF, but there’s no signature that I can find on any of them. Please let me know if you know who made them. I hate to post them without credit to the artist.

It was a great festival. Great authors, great readers, really well run. 10/10 would recommend.
I had dinner with the Kierston White and Beth Revis. I sat on panels with amazing authors. I played games with the awesome Epic Reads team and I met thousands of teens who wanted to spend their entire Saturday talking about books and hands down that was the best part of the whole weekend.
Also I met someone who was starting a bookshop on wheels like a food truck for readers. Let’s hope that’s the start of hot new trend.
