Except maybe a shiny new idea I'm attempting to ignore until the current WiP is drafted.

Don't be nervous about going to book signings! <br />I used to be an events coordinator at a bookstore, and most of the time, the authors (even a lot of big authors!) are super nervous that no one will show up, or that no one will ask questions, or that everyone will think they're dorky and bad at public speaking, or...you get the idea. So if you show up and talk to them and like their book, you are pretty much making their day. Seriously. And book signings are so fun!Maggie Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17378337707268580252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4058856697581528687.post-58342604602584662842011-09-30T12:34:59.788-07:002011-09-30T12:34:59.788-07:00@Melissa - YAY book recommendations!

Do you send care packages?<br /><br />:)Leigh Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15827971896088856057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4058856697581528687.post-5663110050962346692011-09-30T12:20:47.467-07:002011-09-30T12:20:47.467-07:00I so excited for you / jealous about awesome book ...I so excited for you / jealous about awesome book packages!

I would pretty much bow to you if you wrangled an ARC of HALLOWED (have I told you I'm a little bit on Team Christian? *ducks*)<br /><br />@Cristina - Book recommendation - logged! I am actually afraid to go to book signings. What would I wear? How would I keep from shaking, and blabbering? You are brave.<br /><br />@Chess - I was afraid that was what you were tweeting about last night. Maybe we'll collaborate on that post....(also if G wants that ARC you have to send it to her too.)<br /><br />You ladies rule! <3Leigh Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15827971896088856057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4058856697581528687.post-31440445850028022712011-09-30T04:30:36.571-07:002011-09-30T04:30:36.571-07:00I started reading A MILLION SUNS yesterday!

But if she thinks I'm too dignified to follow it up with a phone call, she would be wrong. WE WILL HAVE ARC'S, DAMN IT!<br /><br />My obsession this week would be the amazing person who sent me a box full of goodies for no other reason than she's freaking awesome. And HOURGLASS? Totally karate chopped my book slump. Hooked from line 1, and the Scarlett O'Hara reference cinched it.
