1. My big sign at the entryway. (I'm making a weird face because I was in the middle of telling my mom to 'hurry and take the picture'. There were a lot of people trying to walk by.)
2. The cozy booth at Shadow Mountain, where I signed books and handed out proper tea.
3. Meeting Jane Seymour and giving her a copy of Edenbrooke. She was so pretty and gracious.
4. Picking up an ARC (Advanced Reader's Copy) of The Dark Unwinding. I was looking forward to getting my hands on this book, and it has not disappointed me. It's Steampunk Victorian Young Adult with a splash of fantasy set in the moors in England. It was singing my name! And isn't the cover gorgeous? I met the author there (Sharon Cameron), and I have to say, there is a difference between first-time and veteran authors at BEA. She was so grateful. (First-timer. I could relate.) I loved her. I'll let you know what I think when I finish it. So far, I'm impressed.
In addition, to that one, I also brought home at least a dozen books that I can't wait to dig into. What are you reading this summer? Any fun beach reads?
You are such a babe! Give me yo' number.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a great time. You make me want to go to BEA.
ReplyDeleteAnd as a totally random comment, has anyone else told you that you look like Anna from Downton Abbey? Because every time I watch it, she reminds me of you.
Gaaahhh! You got to meet Jane Seymore! That is so cool. That book looks really good. Have you read Hourglass by Myra McEntire? The second just came out so I am rereading it. I just got to meet Marissa Meyer author of Cinder. I need you to do a book tour so I can meet you!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like it was such a blast! And your huge poster looks so pretty!
ReplyDeleteEvery writer's dream! Seeing a huge poster of your book at a big event. How lovely that must have been!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind giving the steampunk genre a try. It sounds pretty cool. Right now I'm reading (well, re-reading) a great book for summer. You might have heard of it. Called Edenbrook? :)
Just finished Edenbrooke, just randomly purchased it at Costco... One of my favorite books of the summer and so refreshing to be able to hand it to my 15 yr old daughter and let her enjoy it too!!
ReplyDeleteI had to stay up late and finish reading your book because I couldn't put it down! You made it so easy to feel all of Marianne's emotions throughout the book. The letter writing scene was probably the most romantic thing I've ever read. I like how she notices other people's faces and body language, which sometimes means more than what they say. Thank you for writing such a sweet, clean romance. I can't wait for your next book! :)
