This event at Books of Wonder was a ton of fun. And I got to meet our own postergirl Jackie Parker, who ruled and gave me a hug and let me snap this fangirl photo (actually, author Matthue Roth snapped it):
And then the lovely Mitali Dave took this group photo. Recognize anyone?
We obviously weren't sure which camera to look at. It was a rare paparazzi moment for us authors. Hope you all can be there next year!

That would have been a lot of fun. I don't recognise any of the authors, but I'll make a point of looking at the author photographs in the back of the books now!

If I lived in NY I would have totally been there. It looks like SO much fun!
I wish I wish I wish I lived in NYC! Very envious :)
What a fun day! I wish I'd introduced myself (but as people have said -- it's hard to recognize writers and bloggers on-sight!)
What a fun event! And so cool that Jackie got to be there! We look forward to all the info!
Melissa, can you tell us who is in the pic? I recognize some, but not all.
