Friday night was a night of EXTREME FANCINESS. NYMBC hosted and event that am still reeling over. David Levithan, Maggie Stiefvater and Ellen Hopkins joined together for a great book event during Litquake. Over 100 people attended and we were all treated to these authors reading bits and pieces from their recent works.

To start of the night we had musical entertainment
Kevin Hull and his amazing voice entertained us prior to the authors coming out. I absolutely adored his rendition of Edith Piaf's Sous Le Ciel de Paris.

Ellen, David and Maggie get settled in

David talks about being excited that his books are considered  HOT and FRESH

Ellen Hopkins reading from TILT
When Ellen reads, authors listen.

David Levithan reading from my favorite book EVERY DAY

Maggie Stiefvater decided to stand on her chair so that the audience could see her
Maggie reading from THE RAVEN BOYS

 Ahhh it was such an amazing evening. I adored it all. Thank you, NYMBC for hosting the best YA events around. I really appreciate it along with many others.

I would love to see what you have to say :)

“Reading is everything. Reading makes me feel like I've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. Reading makes me smarter. Reading gives me something to talk about later on. Reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. Reading is grist. Reading is bliss.”
