Last week, a lively group of Pacific Northwest booksellers and librarians were invited to Seattle's Local 360 to celebrate Illuminae (Random House), first in a planned YA trilogy by Australian authors Amie Kaufman (the Starbound Trilogy) and Jay Kristoff (the Lotus War trilogy). Here, Kristoff and Kaufman thank Shelf Awareness reviewer Kyla Paterno, who called Illuminae "a game-changer for its genre." --Karin Snelson
