Whew, what a week! Between the PLA author panels, the Nancy Pearl Book Buzz, Federal Donuts and cupcakes, we're still in recovery mode.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the our booth!. We hope you walked away with a book or two (or three!) that will double your pulse, triple your reading speed, and keep you up hours after bedtime. 

If you didn't make it to the book buzz or need a refresher, Talia's slides are posted here.

We hope to see you all again later this year at TLA, ALA Annual, or BEA! 

Sincerely,
Your favorite book angels (Talia, Peter, & Ali)!
