In two weeks, our next celebration is Stephen King’s birthday!  You know–the guy who wrote Pet Sematary,  Cujo, and Under the Dome?  Come by on September 20 to check out our Stephen King display and have a bite of a Stephen King birthday cake!

 

And best of all, don’t forget to check out the Austin Teen Book Festival, right here at the Austin Convention Center, on September 28th.   You won’t believe all the awesome authors coming–everyone from Maggie Stiefvater to Sarah Dessen to S.A. Bodeen and Brian Yansky!    And the author of brand new title, Solstice, that I can’t wait to read because it is set in Austin, Texas!  The festival is free, open all day, and you can meet and greet your favorite authors.  Hope we see you there!

The Austin Teen Book Festival is coming soon!  It’s being held at Palmer Auditorium this year, on October 1 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

If you are a fan of  Pretties, Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist, Tantalize, Halo, or Alfred Kropp novels, you’ll want to be there.   A full list of authors can be found on the Austin Teen Book festival website.

The theme this year is Steampunk!  in honor of opening speaker Scott Westerfeld, and there will be music, books to get autographed, photos with the authors, and more.   A very cool way to meet authors up close and personal!
