Back in the US for two measly weeks, and already I’m getting back on a plane. To Chicago!
On Monday night I have a public event at Anderson’s Bookshop in Napierville with D. J. MacHale, author of the Pendragon series.
Here are the details:
Monday, April 26

Anyone can come to this event!
On Tuesday, though, I’m headed to the International Reading Association’s annual do, where I’ll be speaking on a panel and signing. You must have an event pass to get in to these next events (which means you’re probably a librarian or English teacher or something cool like that).

Symposia: “The Illustrated Teen: An Intersection of Text and Image in Contemporary Young Adult Literatureâ€

2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Signing at the Simon & Schuster Booth (#1725)
Hope to see some of you Chicago folks there!

I like it! It’s not as different as some of the Midnighters covers, but its got originality and style! (P.S How is the garden going? have you found an herb to plant yet?)

Allison-
You don’t need a pass for the Monday night event! For the stuff on Tuesday, I’m not sure. Google “IRA Reading.”
April 22nd, 2010 11:31
I thought of something very different when I read “IRA”.
April 22nd, 2010 17:08
Ooh, I like the Italian cover!
April 22nd, 2010 18:54
Oh I wish I was there in IL! I loved the pendragon series and seeing you both would be awesome! Sadly, though, I’m in the boring racing state.

Uglies Series- Cyberprep-Cyberpunk.
featuring a leisure-driven, happy society instead of a gritty one where technology and body modifications are used for recreation and pleasure.

Hi, I’m Giovanni.
La guerra sta per iniziare,
sei cigolante o darwinista?

So close, and yet so far! I’m about two hours from Chicago, but my 5:50 AM wake-up on school days stops me. Come to Wisconsin! We’ve got cheese!
April 23rd, 2010 09:09
There you go, Scott. Pretty awesome reasons to come to Wisconsin and Minnesota. You won’t regret it! I mean, come on, how can you turn us down? Well, never mind, I guess you can. But, why would you want to?
April 24th, 2010 01:33
THATS AWSOME!!
April 24th, 2010 05:25
Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh!!!!!!!! I wish i could go. You and D.J. are my two favorite authors ever!!!!! Hey Scott-la are you going the Phoenix or Albuquerque anytime?
April 24th, 2010 08:04
Sigh. Wish I could be there!
On another topic:
SCOTT-LA: I went to a John Green/David Levithan signing of their book Will Grayson, Will Grayson tonight, and John Green says that his favorite book he’s read this year is Leviathan! Awesome much!
April 24th, 2010 08:23

April 24th, 2010 08:55
this article was super interesting, and I first thought of uglies…
http://www.idahostatesman.com/2010/04/23/1164899/death-of-caveman-ends-an-era-in.html
he wasn’t quite a rusty or a special, but something in between… maybe a David. But truly icy and free! I’m sad that he is the last and now gone… but just hearing about it, I’m impressed and appreciative.
thought some of you might find this interesting.
April 24th, 2010 09:24
come back to texas? it’s just not the same since you’ve been away. before you lose your accent and forget all about the lone star state! besides, the mexican food sucks north of here anyway.
