“If given the opportunity, meet your idols and gush like the village idiot. Some of them are still people and like to be reminded why their publicists dragged them to New York.”

I try to do this at every opportunity, BEA is one of them.

I have to say, this year’s BEA felt particularly wonderful. It was great to spend time with authors, booksellers, and publishing peeps who I don’t always get to see throughout the year. For all the time spent planning BEA, the actual event goes by in a blur. So it’s lovely that John Green was able to capture his slice of the action on video. If I ever forgot that I attempted a Vanna White impression, this video is testament to my terrible rendition.

This was a Wes Anderson week. I had the pleasure of meeting Bob Balaban, author of the upcoming middle grade series The Creature from the Seventh Grade, at a BEA party and he was a delight. Last night I saw Moonrise Kingdom in a packed theatre at BAM. Spent much of the evening debating where it ranks in the list of favorite Wes Anderson movies. If someone held a Wes Anderson film festival I’d be there in a flash.

Because PenguinTeen has the front jacket covered, I’m showing off the fancy new flipside of THE FAULT IN OUR STARS.
Book Expo America just announced that John Green will be one of the three speakers at the Children’s Book & Author Breakfast on Wednesday, June 6th. With fellow speakers Lois Lowry and Kadir Nelson, we’re in for a treat!
