There were several people tweeting during the presentations so here are some links.  I don’t know what was going on with me, but my brain must have had some kind of meltdown because I switched my hashtags sometime during the day.  At first I was using #alan09 and then later I was using #alan2009.  Who knows what I was thinking.  My fingers were flying on my iPhone faster than I could process what I was doing I guess.

So, here are the search results for #alan09, #alan2009, and #alan.  If you read these 3 searches, you’ll get a pretty good idea of what went on today.  Tomorrow we do it all over again with a new set of authors.  I’m looking forward to listening to Maggie Stiefvater and Jessica Verday tomorrow.

Tomorrow by Midnight is the deadline to enter the big NCTE Contest I have going on.  Be sure to register.  I’ve got some great books to give away.  Many autographed copies and ARCs.

Last, but not least, here are some pictures from today.
