Bad Books and Why We Love Them
(Panelists: John Green, Holly Black, Margaret Stohl, Robin Wasserman & Megan Whalen Turner; Moderated by Maureen Johnson) – Williford
“What is a bad book, anyway? Does it bite? Did it pee on the floor? Is it right to judge books or the people who love them?
This panel names names and throws down.”

I Make Worlds!
(Panelists: Holly Black, Amanda Hocking & Laini Taylor; Moderated by Margaret Stohl) – Boulevard
