Well, barring any more volcanic interruptions, come this weekend we’ll be heading off to Chicago for the annual International Reading Association convention. If you’ll be there, we’d love to see you! It makes me super happy to meet people face to face in this age of twitter-email-voicemail-3G-4G-whatever.
Anyway, we’ll be hanging out at booth 2122 so be sure to come by and say hello. And if the L&L staff alone is not enough of an attraction for you, come for our authors who will be stopping by:
MONDAY, APRIL 26:
W. Nikola-Lisa, author of Bein’ With You This Way, How We Are Smart, and Summer Sun Risin’ (among others) 10–11AM
Trish Marx, author of Sharing Our Homeland, Steel Drumming at the Apollo, and Everglades Forever 2–3PM
TUESDAY, APRIL 27:
Jen Cullerton Johnson, author of Seeds of Change 10–11AM
Anastasia Suen, author of Toddler Two, Baby Born, and many more, and bloggess extraordinaire 11AM–12PM
If anyone knows of any great deep-dish pizza joints in Chicago that should not be missed, leave ’em in the comments. I will try them all! The convention may only be three days, but eating two dinners per night is not beneath me.
