Two excellent twitter discussions last week tied for Best Hastag: #YALitChat and #YAWritersAAT
 |
| YALitChat is consistently good, often with a range of authors chiming in. |
 |
| Great discussion about What's authentic in YA? Fresh from the mouths of teens. Hopefully a regular occuring chat. |
Books we're excited about:
YES. THIS.
Over the weekend, WeHeartYA attended an awesome 8-author YA Panel at Joseph-Beth Booksellers:
Just one reason to catch a Sarah Rees Brennan signing (she's hilarious):
I mean, this was all before she even arrived in the US. She and Saundra Mitchell went for a whirlwind weekend of events before finally stopping in Cincinnati along with Rae Carson, Julie Kagawa, Julia Karr, Christine Johnson, and Kristina McBride. Stop back on Thursday for a full recap and photos!!
Great tweet roundup! You remind me that I always forget about #YALitChat. Bad me.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read the recap of the signing. I really wanted to go, but a 12 hour drive just didn't make sense :(

ReplyDelete@Leeanna...we always seem to catch the end of the discussions. hashtags are our bff's. 12 hour drive? Yeah, good call on that one! Still, would have been awesome to see you.
