We walked from the hotel to the convention center, through the adorably historic and vibrant downtown Fort Worth. I was definitely impressed with the area. It was a fun place to hang out for a couple days.
The downtown area and the convention center had many art displays, including this gigantic star made entirely of cowboy hats (including a pink one).
I spoke on the Lone Star panel (which was in a gigantic room) along with amazing authors Marie Lu, Kiersten White, Ally Carter, and Mary Pearson. We were a hoot, I'm pretty sure.
No event is complete without food, and while at TLA I headed to the Cupcakery with Jennifer Lynn Barnes, Ally Carter, and Mari Mancusi. I indulged in this gorgeous cupcake...
...and a Texas-sized onion ring at the Harper family dinner.
I picked up SO MANY amazing ARCs from the publisher booths, including the absolutely amazing Premeditated by the supremely talented Josin McQuein.
You know ARCs for me mean giveaways for you, so expect lots of great books up for grabs in the near future.
