NYLA Mystery Slam

Screen shot 2011-11-04 at 1.22.36 PMI had the pleasure of taking a road trip with Kayleigh and the lovely Ali Fisher (from Macmillan) to Saratoga Springs for the NYLA conference.  We arrived pumped full of caffeine and blasting this album (don't judge), and KG and Ali set about presenting some pretty excellent mystery/thriller/suspense titles to a room full of librarians (who we had so thoughtfully plied with red wine). The presenters did a fabulous job, made the audience laugh and provided lots of info on a number of great titles.  Our list is below and you can check out Ali's list here.

PS: I know you can't tell because we are so incognito, but that's me, Ali and Kayleigh rocking some serious disguises in the spirit of the day.
