Well, the 7th Annual Greater Rochester Teen Book Festival was last weekend and it was, of course, AWESOME. I guess what they say about "Lucky 7" is right, because I truly think this was our best TBF yet!
We all know that I'm obsessed with TBF, but I'm also obsessed with Instagram. In honor of these obsessions, I present a recap of TBF 2012 via Instagram pictures. It's the best of both worlds!
The crowds prepare for the authors arrival.
An awesome volunteer gets the crowd practicing their cheers for the authors' arrival.

Authors (Inara Scott and Cinda Williams Chima) were transported by classic cars and limos.
James Kennedy, Cat Patrick, and Gabrielle Zevin ride in style.
Nick Podehl and his wife Erin and Brent Crawford.

Well readers, it was a GREAT year. And guess what? Only 359 days until TBF 2013 …
I am glad the festival turns to be successful. I wish I was there to witness the event. Thank you for posting the photos. I am looking forward to your next posts.
