I would love to see Stephen Chbosky! Perks is one of my absolute favorite book and one that I’ve been trying to get a signed copy of for EVER.
I love Stephen! I met him last year at NYCTAF and he was absolutely wonderful! Unfortunately I can’t go to Pasadena Loves YA since I am all the way on the east coast, but I hope to go one day since there seems to be a bunch of amazing authors attending!
my top 3 would be: katie Alender, Julie Berry, Virginia Boecker. I have read books by Katie. I have been wanting to read Julie’s ALL THE TRUTH THAT’S IN ME. I am also excited for Virginia’s WITCH HUNTER. SOOO MANY GREAT AUTHORS ATTENDING!
This sounds like a great event! I’m in Ohio, so unfortunately I won’t be attending. Meeting Stephen Chbosky would be a highlight for me.
I wish I could make it, but I live in Utah. I would be excited to see Victoria Aveyard though. I can’t wait to read the red queen!!!!!
