People pointing, fingerpainting the world, leaving me the silhouette of my life. And I'm filling in the negative space with positively everything.

Photorama: Fun in Chicago and ALA


Alan and I took a trip to Chicago that coincided with ALA, so I stopped by the conference exhibit hall to see friends and cruise for freebees and ARCs! Here's lovely Jessica Lee Anderson with her soon-to-be released BORDER CROSSING.


Erin Murphy, agent extraordinaire



Elizabeth C. Bunce, after accepting the first annual William C. Morris award for CURSE DARK AS GOLD!




Lisa Schroeder (FAR FROM YOU and the upcoming CHASING BROOKLYN) reveals the secrets to snagging ARCs


Kristy Dempsey (ME WITH YOU) and Tammi Sauer (CHICKEN DANCE).


Christine Taylor-Butler with her newest book SACRED MOUNTAIN: EVEREST.


Maggie Stiefvater signs ARCS for SHIVER





Score! Especially looking forward to HEIGHTS, a contemporary retelling of WUTHERING HEIGHTS.





Off to Heaven on Seven, a yummy cajun restaurant


Fried sweet potato moss and mint julip.


On top of our hotel building, the Raffaello.


For Alex, my chocolate milk girl.




While Alan met with a fellow scholar about a project they are working on, I visited the Chicago Art Institute.




This writing on the bathroom stall at the Art Institute was the most uplifting graffiti I've ever seen.

Did you really buy that giant bottle of choc syrup?

It was just an empty display bottle. :) But If I had, Alex would surely have demolished it in record time.
