We didn't make it into either of the ticketed events, but the panels were amazing! I tweeted some of the highlights from the ones we went to (first two panels I mentioned instead of hashtagged, but I'll learn one day):
@sarahreesbrenna: "the toaster is a master swordsman!" @NTTBFest Secondary Education panel

the wonderful photographer that donated his time and talent to the event took this picture (caught her stumbling on her words!):

To sum up,
Can I just hang out with all the authors from #NTTBF15? They were all just so much fun!

While we didn't stay for any signings, we did hear from a lot of authors that are now on my to-read list, and I received some inspiration to keep on with what I'm doing. It was also really cool to hear them talk and see that they are just (mostly) normal (and incredibly funny) people. I don't know if events like this even existed when I was in school, but I think I would have loved them, and they are a great opportunity for the "young adults" out there to meet some amazing authors! I absolutely loved this event and WILL be going again.
