    Once Upon a Trapeze Bookstore
    It’s official. I’m a bibliophile. Last night, It’s official. I’m a bibliophile. Last night, after school, I drove to Colorado Springs Pikes Peak Library 21C to hear Neal Shusterman speak, then stood in line for almost two hours to have him sign my books before heading back up the mountain so I could be at school bright and early this morning. It was so worth it!! He talked about his struggles as a young reader and about an elementary school librarian who knew just the right books to offer. He also spoke of his ninth grade ELA teacher who encouraged him to keep writing even when the going got tough. He also shared his camp counselor storytelling experiences that hooked him on writing for YA audiences and had some very interesting answers to some very interesting questions from the audience. Questions such as, “If you could, would you splat?” and “Who do you think is worse, Scythe Goddard or Dolores Umbridge?” He also shared a little bit about his new book, a collection of short stories about various Scythes from his famous and amazing Arc of the Scythe Trilogy called The Gleanings, out this November. What was Scythe Curie like as a teenager, Scythe Faraday? How did they become Scythes? I can’t wait! On top of all this, I got another library card to add to my Libby account! Best evening ever! @nealshusterman @pikespeaklibrarydistrict #onceuponatrapezebookstore #indiebookstore #yareaders #fantasyreaders #sciencefiction #bibliofile #bvco #buenavistacolorado #buenavistaco
