Better px of the "Hear Our Voices" audiobook panel w/ actor Max Meyers & authors @RutaSepetys @LumaMufleh This was great! I ā™„ļø audiobooks as much as print, not all authors can carry it off but these 2 R perfect. Loved the "object" prompt (why Max holds mirror) #ALAN23 @ALANorg

This was such an emotional & meaningful moment! Discussing their books, which are fictionalized versions of their own abuse experiences, @RantingOwl & @HannSawyerr realize they have even more in common in their paths to sharing their truths. #ALAN23 @ALANorg No, I'm not crying...

"History's Reflection of the Present" featured @AutumnAAllen @LizNarratives and #JamieJoHoang (who somehow I missed getting a closeup of, drat) discussing their 3 very different yet all equally compelling books with a historical fiction/"auto fiction" angle. #ALAN23 @ALANorg

ā€œYou can internalize this narrative that ā€˜I am fundamentally unloveable.ā€™ Itā€™s so easy to tell yourself these lies. When youā€™re in that, itā€™s so hard to see beyond that. But when you see a character reach out to you, thereā€™s profound comfort in that.ā€ ā€”@allisonhsaft at #ALAN22
