A couple of weeks ago I met my sister Natalie, our mom and a few ladies from their ward at a local bookstore to hear one of my favorite authors speak. I started reading Shannon Hale in my college Children's Lit. Class. Her books are mostly fairy tales, with some magic and romance. They are great for girls, but everyone loves them (my brother-in-law read the Goose Girl series). Traveling with Shannon was Libba Bray, I hadn't heard of her, but I bought her books and I am already a fan. I am having issues with blogger so I couldn't link their names to their websites, but google them to find a list of the books they wrote. Have fun reading!
Shannon Hale, beautiful and talented. Read her books, magical I tell you. 
I can't wait to read me some Libba Bray.
The Ladies singing for the audience. They were pretty funny together. Read their books and go listen to them speak if you ever get the chance. It's like a two-women comedy show! 
Shannon rolled out a collection of her rejection letters before teaching us the "neaner neaner dance" About her rejection she said "rejection pushes you to where you need to be." True in life not just in trying to get something published.

I totaly picked up that Libba Bray book at Barnes and Noble last weekend! Wierd! I had never heard of her, but the book is like a best seller already and it looked inviting. I think it is a series - I think. I didn't end up buying it, but now maybe I will!
LOVE Shannon Hale! Thanks for introducing me to her books. I'll have to read Libba's book too cuz if she's with Shannon, she must be great. Plus I love her name!
