John Green says, "Hi!" to rgz!

Woohoo!



How fun is that?

WLMA Update, John Green, and Boutiques

So...what has happened today? *do a little dance*

I MET JOHN GREEN! LOOK AT THIS PHOTO! I'm posing with readergirl Myria Jacobs, daughter of librarian readergirl Mary Jacobs, and JOHN GREEN. NERDFIGHTERS!


So his speech was intriguing, funny, and thought provoking. The librarians LURVED him.

Then it was on to Justina's talk and signing. How fun to hear her story as an audience member. Is she not the coolest? Is her heart not passionate for philanthropy? Three of the librarians said her talk was worth the ENTIRE CONFERENCE!


Then it was time for a cup of coffee with Liz Gallagher. What a sweetheart. It was great to hear about her latest work in progress.


So where are we now? Take a look!



We are at a boutique hotel in downtown Portland! And it's time for cocktails in the lobby. Woot! Could this be any more fun? Nope.

I found Justina!

I found her, readergirlz! I found Justina!!!! Okay. She found me. She pulled up to my house and drove us down to Portland for the amazing Washington and Oregon Library Media Association Convention.

Tell me. She does NOT look like she's been awake for 30 hours, does she?

And who did we meet at the author meet and greet party? Jone MacCulloch, amazing blogger who hosted the Kidlitosphere Conference with Laini Taylor just 2 weeks prior!


What a flurry of a day as Justina spoke, we chatted with librarians, and eventually made our looooong way back to the car.


We deserved that loaded burger and milkshake, right? Okay, off for her keynote speech this morning! *waving from Portland*
