Armchair BEA Vlog: Final Day

This is the final video for Armchair BEA and the mayhem that ensued.

I should explain that the This is Teen launch that is mentioned in this video is Scholastic's new initiative to use Facebook to connect authors with readers. The reception beforehand and the signing after was magnificent. It was so delightful to meet and really talk with Maggie, Libba and Meg. I'm referring to them by their first names, because I'm pretty sure that we are good friends now.

Libba told me a fantastic story about how she and Shannon Hale were on a plane together and Shannon tried to ease Libba's fear of flying by singing a John Denver song. Then they sang all the songs they could think of that were sung by artists who had died in a plane crash.

And, after speaking with Meg, I think I have her really excited to do a signing in Salt Lake City. So, for all you Utah folks, I think it's time to let our local indies and libraries know that we are dying to see Meg Cabot!

I hope you have all enjoyed the videos that I have been posting throughout the week. It's been such a pleasure to show you the fun things that have been happening while I'm in New York.

Some cool title here

I'm having a hard time coming up with good titles for my posts this week. Anyway, here's today's vlog. This will be great for those who wanted to see the floor, signing lines, and some authors!

An Open Casting Call!

Book Blogger Hop Question of the Week!

Do you listen to music when you read? What are some of your favorite reading tunes?

I used to, but not any more.  Not really sure why, but I guess it's just because I only get short increments during the day to actually read.  So, no time to get the music going!

 I'm currently working on a project. It's a video project, and I need your help.  You as an author, blogger, reader, librarian or whatever you may be.

I'm putting together a video of predictions for Mockingjay.  If you want to participate, it will involve you making a vlog.  I will piece together all the submissions, and make an awesome video.

Here are the details:

1. I need the video by August 12 either via email or a youtube link
2. Vlog must be 30 seconds or less
3. You can include spoilers from Hunger Games and Catching Fire
4. Make sure you speak clearly.
5. If you don't want to record your face, but would still like to participate, you could do something like record a Mr. Potato Head sitting on a table while you talk.
6. Try to make your predictions as unique as you can, but other than that, sky is the limit!

I hope with your help we can make this totally awesome! If you want to participate, fill out the form, so I can have your contact info to email you. This isn't required per se, but it will help me keep things organized.
