I loved meeting Haven and ...It was such a fun day. I loved meeting Haven and being able to ask her questions was a treat. I could hear her voice from the books. She was different than I expected but also exactly the same. I also agreed with her position on ebooks. I bought a kindle in August and haven't used it nearly as much as I thought. <br />I had issues with the second session I went to which was on juvenile lit but it didn't spoil the day. (see my thoughts and the spirited discussion it encouraged http://smilingldsgirl.wordpress.com/2012/01/18/writing-and-reading-for-children-and-teens/ ) To think that it was all for free! I love living in Utah for those kind of activities. (and those cupcakes were good!)Rachel Wagner.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11229982576468380281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-19339541328337395242012-01-18T22:55:26.622-07:002012-01-18T22:55:26.622-07:00And I'm so glad you said something to me!

I'm glad that your weekend included reading. So often we don't get to do what we really want to do...READ!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing. I am going to really ponder Haven Kimmel's comments.

I wonder if that's why blogging about reading has become so popular.<br />Thanks for the list of upcoming events, too.

I can see how being isolated from a community of readers would probably amplify these feelings. Because we all read about each other's passion for books and so many of us book bloggers have e-readers, it seems quite normal. <br /><br />And Haven Kimmel is a Tournament of Books judge this year.
