So i was sitting in school on friday and Mrs. Jackson my ninth grade teacher came into my class and tells me i should come to the Literature Festival. I was like "uhhhhhhh I'll think about it." But i didnt really wanna go with all these gay nerd kids from town so i wasnt planning on even thinking about going. haha But in my next period a few of my friends told me they were going and taht i should come too, so i decided to go.
I hadnt read any of the books yet so i picked the shortest one; it was like 60 pages. I started reading during my free period and found taht the book was a piece of crap. haha My friends gabby told me this book I am the Messenger was good so she gave it to me. I read all 400 pages yesterday. the book was so good and superrrrrr hilarious i laughed on the very first page.
The literature festival was today:saturday. We went to the workshop for the book i read. oh i need to explain. hahah so the let festival is bascailly they pay authors of books to come and talk to us and have little workshops and stuff.
Soooo we walk into Markus Zusac's room. And he is beautiful. And hilarious. And has a rugged Australian accent. And writes amazing books. And.....did i mention beautiful?
I dont know if youve ever heard of the book called The Book Thief but he wrote it and it was the newyork time #1 bestseller for a while. But he talked about it and pretty much i want to read it right now. yeah, I am the Messenger was really good but everyone said The Book Thief blows it out of the water. So i want to read it now.
I got him to sign my book and he actually wrote stuff and i thought that was really cool, and he said different stuff for us too. There was this other author and he was cocky and thought he was so amazing. i didnt like him. hahah he was like "yeah everyone is talking to me." we were like oh, really? hahah We took pictures with Markus Zuzac and we were like yes!!! he was so nice he went into his lunch time to meet everyone who wanted to meet him and sign their books and what not. here they are! plus some stalker ones as well.
oh yeah and a funny conversation that went on between a friend and I:
"holy crap, that guy is hot. he is a writer, they arent supposed to be hot."
"I dont know, he's good looking, but he looks kind of weird."
"Yeah....but like a hot kind of weird."
