I could have done things! <br /><br />I've had that quote I posted on my mind all week. It's definitely got me thinking.

Amazing how publishing is listening to the readers (but they do have to make some noise).<br /><br />@Sara...yes! you're an honorary Cincy girl. :) It felt like they couldn't wait to talk about diversity. So glad someone asked the question!<br /><br />@Leeanna...twelve hours is a bit much! You are certainly excused! We always dream about going to YA'llFest in NC, but alas, too far. Is that closer to you? Man, we'd be jealous.<br />Yes, great point made by C.J.

It was almost, <i>almost</i> like being there. <br /><br />This is really cool, for me, because I had never thought of it: <i>Christine Johnson: said that YA is in a unique position to change things in publishing because all genres are shelved next to each other.</i>Leeannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284091494053528217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570782455185394721.post-61225573040392613782012-08-10T14:31:19.186-04:002012-08-10T14:31:19.186-04:00This looks like such an amazing event!

I just read The Iron King so I can finally say I'm a Julie Kagawa fan, and you guys already know that I'm a Kristina McBride fan now, too.
