I write this blog post as I’m sitting in the San Francisco Airport, waiting to depart for home. My shuttle got me here about 3 hours before my flight is scheduled to leave. Luckily, I have some great books to occupy my time while waiting and while on the plane.
Here are a few of the great books I picked up at the Exhibit Hall and at publisher events during the conference. These are some of the books that I’m looking the most forward to and make sure to pack in my carry-on for airport/plane reading.
- Jump Back Paul: The Life and Times of Paul Laurence Dunbar by Sally Derby, illustrated by Sean Qualls
- One by Sarah Crossan
- Untwine by Edwidge Danticat
- The Hired Girl by Laura Amy Schlitz
- The Thing About Jellyfish by Ali Benjamin
Fellow conference-goers, what books are making it into your carry-ons for the trip home? I would love to know!
