TweensRead Book Festival

Another book-ish goal achieved! I served as moderator for the Five Funny Guys panels at the 2015 TweensRead event held at South Houston High School in Pasadena, Texas on Saturday, October 3.

Oh my. Are these five guys ever a hoot!

They didn't need a moderator; they needed a ringmaster with a whip.


Five Funny Guys: Gene Luen Yang, Nicholas Gannon, Jeff Anderson, Geoff Rodkey, and Daniel Handler (aka Lemony Snickett)




 The tweens had lots of questions.

I was happy to see some of my librarian friends in the audience.

It was fun being moderator.

And I came home with an autographed book from each author.


Did I tell you how much it cost to attend?
Yes, it was free. Free.

Did you miss it this year?
Well, don't miss out next year!

    Book reading is a good habit and it should be encouraged more.
    Great pics.
    Happy WW!

      Yes, and an event like this goes a long way toward encouraging young people to read. Hundreds of kids!

      Oh my goodness. You must look for the Series of Unfortunate Events. The author was a blast in person, too.
