YALLFest 2012 — the young adult book festival in Charleston,SC founded by Jonathan Sanchez of Blue Bicycle Books (with a little help from Margie and me) was a huge success and tons of fun! We are in Italy at the Film Festival in Rome, for the Beautiful Creatures movie, so here are a few of my favorite pics:
