Late November 2015

Hi Teenreaders,

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Now that the holiday is over, I know that stores everywhere are telling you to forget about the turkey already and start thinking about end-of-the-year shopping (Cyber Monday, anyone?). I admit that I've already moved into an "OMG, 2015 is almost over!" state of mind, too. For me, though, it's a bit more literary than consumerist; I'm wondering, what were the best books that came out all year?

While we're all for curling up on the sofa with a good book, there's nothing like getting out in the world and going to a literary event where you can see your favorite authors talk on panels, meet other book lovers and come home with a tote bag stuffed full of new reads. Teen Board member Juliette G. experienced just that when she attened the Miami Book Fair on Saturday, November 21st. Below, she talks about some of the highlights of the day --- including sharing an umbrella with someone you just may have heard of.
