I still can’t believe that this week @litapalooza I get to meet one of my favorite authors, Tiffany D. Jackson @writeinbk 🤩

No, it’s not just because we share the same name. 😂 There honestly isn’t a single book she’s written that I haven’t loved and this isn’t even my full collection! 👀

From Grown and Monday’s Not Coming to, to her most recent release the scammer she doesn’t miss.

Her new book, Ghost in the night come out August 4th and I already know it’s going straight to the top of my TBR.

If you’re looking for an author who writes gripping, unforgettable stories, Tiffany D. Jackson is the one. Trust me.

Stay tuned because I’ll definitely be sharing all the pictures and videos from meeting her this week. Your girl is about to be full-on fan-girling! 🫶🏾📖✨

Mama’s first @litapalooza and I’ll definitely be back! From meeting one of my besties’ besties, @victorpineiro to the most honest and hilarious dinner with @writeinbk to being loved on and (lovingly) gathered by my boo and @yamidwest keynote speaker, @bydonmartin, spending a few days in Chicago with so many amazing folks was exactly what my soul needed. Thank you so much for having me, @andersonsbookshop! Can’t wait to do it again next year! (Because I need to write book 2 in the ‘Killer Sheep” trilogy! 🐑😂🥳)

Litapalooza was lit! 🔥 It was such a blast hanging out with educators, kids, and incredible authors! Here’s me fangirling hard with:
(1) Gordon Korman (Snoop is the latest of an astronomical number)
(2) Nicole M Hewitt (Song of the Orphans Garden)
(3) Chris Grabenstein (Mr. Lemoncello books and like a thousand more)
(4) On a panel, in which Gordon refused to show off his cool shoes. Also that’s Jennifer Ziegler in the middle! (Worser, Revenge of the Bridesmaids, and lots more)
(5) book signing! That’s the back of Gabby Mendez’s head and way in the background you can see Gordon’s line out the door.
(6) Meg Medina (Newberry medalist, National Book Ambassador, amazing human, and author of Graciela in the Abyss)
(7) Kristin Nilsen (Worldwide Crush)

Anderson’s Bookshop, you’re the goat!! Thanks for putting this on!!
