LA Times Festival of Books Recap - 2013 Edition

This post is (more than) a little bit overdue. I look forward to the LA Times Festival of Books every year. I mean, what's more fun than a giant, free book festival? This year was a little different for me than previous years. I didn't have a big agenda or a large list of panels or authors I wanted to see. I kind of wanted to just go and wing it. I was meeting some fun, bookish friends there and I was excited to just hang out and see what caught my eye. I only went on Saturday this year, instead of both days.

Stacked (29): The Jon Klassen Edition

Hello! Stacked is going to be short this week because I am writing this post pretty early. I'll be gone this weekend for and out of town baby shower and decided to write this up early in the week. I am going to try to go to a bookstore while I am out of town but we'll see. I don't know if any other guests are readers so I might not be able to get to one. So this week, I just have two books for you.

I went to the Jon Klassen signing for This Is Not My Hat last weekend at Nucleus. Jon writes and illustrates really awesome picture books and my friends and I are huge fans. I picked up his newest book, This Is Not My Hat, along with a copy of House Held Up By Trees. I also bought a print from This Is Not My Hat, which I forgot to take a picture of. Just imagine something super cute.

We had a lot of fun at the signing. If you wore a hat, you got a discount. Needless to say, my friends and I donned our hats proudly. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a great weekend!
