YALL fest in Charleston this weekend.
Hannah and I drove out to Charleston this weekend for a neat event: The Charleston Young Adult Book Festival.
There were 40 authors there to sign their books! It was fun. The events were spread out on King street. You had to walk between the book store and the theater and the Charleston music hall. It was a bigger event than you would give a book fair credit for.
Hannah Took some books from her library to get signed. Here she is getting her “Hack the SAT” book signed by Eliot Schrefer
And here she is talking to “Pseudonymous Bosch” Author of “The name of this book is secret”. Hannah had this book since elementary school. Hannah requested that he wrote her name in morse code. He looked up at her, thought for a second and realized she was serious.. Smiled and knew he was bested, and said, “OK, how about if I write your name backward”.. It was a good interaction.
Here she is getting one of her books signed by Gitty Daneshavari. Gitty asked what Hannah was afraid of, and Hannah replied “snakes.. What? wait! I’m not afraid of snakes!, I WANT a snake! I’m afraid of fear!” And Gitty replied ” Ah yes! Phobophobia! Very nice. This was a good interaction too. Actually, they all were.
Here she is talking to Trenton Lee Stuart We had attended a forum with him and Pseudonymous earlier in he day.
Over all it was a good day! We stopped at Grandpa Bob’s house and had Dinner with Bob and Anne. Christine was there with the youngest cousin Ethan. Ethan was giving Hannah fits! Chasing her around and bugging her. We all thought it was hilarious, certainly because of the karma/payback factor.
