I can't wait for ALA!!! I have already started packing and I know that I will have a great time. I leave on Thursday to drive 12 hours (I have books to read and listen to on the drive!). My mom is going to take me everywhere I need to go during the conference, which is helpful because there is SO much to do! Some of the things that I am particularly looking foward to are:
- Cornilia Funke's luncheon
- My luncheon
- The Newbery/Caldecott Awards Banquet
- Meeting Katherine Paterson
- Schneider Family Book Awards
- Seeing the Stacks (and winning an ebook reader Kindle or IPad, I'm not picky ; )
- Seeing Authors
- Seeing the two Maria's!
- Learning Lots
- Meeting lots of people!
If you are going be sure to say hi. I am easy to spot: I will be the ten year old girl with the GIANT smile who is on the cool red scooter!
Have a fantastic trip! I look forward to your comments about meeting the authors and book lovers from all over the country.
