I also did a rad pictionary battle with Wendy Xu, did an interview with vlogger, Ariel Bissett, shook hands with the queen, Margaret Atwood, and heard a very cool song about my book, Relish, by Susan Hwang.

I would recommend this conference to any writers or readers who want a book learning experience that is fun. Often conferences like these are so jam-packed with sessions that you don’t get a chance to do much networking, but with the book mixers and activities they built into it from a book fan perspective, it just made it so thrilling.
Tameka Mullins got a chance to learn and recharge.

At the first Book Riot Live event last week, one of the participants, Alyssa, put together a map for a Book Crawl. We were all super excited about it but by the time Saturday evening rolled around, many brains were mushed! But a few of us adventurous types made it out!
Here’s an awesomely thorough recap of the attendee-organized bookstore crawl.

I walked away feeling super inspired to pick back up the starting framework of the next novel I’m writing and to see that through to finish hopefully by midyear 2016.
Lara noted a bunch of great quotes from the authors she saw, if you’re looking for craft-talk.
