Last week I attended SCBWI Writer's Day L.A. with my new video camera. For a different take on the day, I asked some authors and illustrators to tell me what book they were reading. Here's the short video.

Fun video from a great conference.
Nice seeing you again, Tina. Hope to see you in LA this August at SCBWI Nationals.

That was awesome! Thanks for sharing. There's some real oldie titles in that group of reads, like The Witch of Blackbird Pond. I read it as a teen and still have on my bookshelf. I'll have to dig it out for a re-read. :-)

What a great video! I loved hearing everyone's current reads!
(I am presently reading Breaking Dawn-I'm a Jacob fan- and The Emerald Tablet)

Thanks for the inspirations (and so many new books I'm gonna want to read!)
Namaste,
