Ohhh dream reader conference-ALL my favourite authors and just me attending. 🙂 Lol yes,I`m very selfish 😛
I’m not so great at the dressing up. I was thinking about being Karou. Just blue hair & tattoos on my hands. Hermonie is always a fave.
So far I love the Austin Teen Book Festival BUT I look forward to adding an Adult Book Love Event to my faces. Maybe RT ?
It’s always a great weekend and I can’t wait. Gulp, only two weeks away!
good luck with the orange socks!
You looks great! Looks like so much fun 🙂 Good for you.
I have no intentions of doing a costume, but I will be there. It’s always fun, even when I don’t go to the sessions. I just hang and chat with friends and authors and author-friends!
I can’t wait either! I probably won’t dress up, but will definitely take more pictures this year. It really 2 weeks out? woohoo!
Great pics! And I love that you dress up for this! That’s a great apron, btw.
Hm… It wouldn\’t let me post it, so let me try again… You need this shirt: (it won’t let me post the link… so goto threadless.com and search for “We’ve Got Some Work to Do Now”
You can delete this one… sorry! LOL

Wow glad to hear you had so much fun at the Rita’s and thanks so much for sharing those great pics. Love your swag and costumes you look so cute!
Conventions are so much fun! I will have to wait for May 2014 again …
I always see you tweeting about this event but I didn’t know what it was lol
Looks like a lot of fun! I can’t wait to see you in your Velma costume!
We do not celebrate Halloween so I will go as myself 😉
hehe do you guys ever just have costume parties? I have always wondered if that was just a “this side of the pond thing”
You’re SO cute. I LOVE your costumes and that apron!!!
This year will be Velma! If I can find freaking orange socks LOL This has been the bane of my existence the last few weeks (I even tried dyeing some but it didn’t work)
I’m so excited! I can’t wait to see you.
I know! Seriously this year I have to take more pictures. I think that was the sum total of the last 3 years up there lol
