Cool trip! I wish I had thought to bring a book along with me on my vacation
ReplyDeleteGreat Road Trip...wish I'd been there. Maybe one day my book will get to go on a cool trip to DC.
ReplyDeleteLoved The One and Only Ivan! And Congrats Katherine on the NPR Backseat Book Club! I had the pleasure of meeting Augusta on the first books panel at the Miami SCBWI conference in 2012. She is as lovely as her book! I am so excited to hear that Glory Be will featured on NPR as well. Way to go Augusta! Mr. Shu - I just got Glory Be for my daughter to read on the plane "across the pond" - on our way to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (that you mention in your next post. :) I'll let you know her thoughts on both :). Cheers!
