I am seriously squealing like a fan girl at a Justin Bieber concert! OK, probably not nearly as high-pitched and irritating as that, but you get the picture.
I was messing around on Facebook, because I was actually avoiding the horrible readings in my References textbook. I saw that one of my friends had a post about a book signing that was just a line or two and then she had a link. I clicked on the link and lo and behold! It was an announcement of two surprise book signings from Holly Black! And the one in Spartanburg, SC includes Carrie Ryan!!!!
Am I ever glad that I have just started reading The Forest of Hands and Teeth!!!! And I am definitely going to go immediately and get a copy of Holly Black's new book, which was on my TBR list anyway, but which just got moved to the top.
So, I suppose I should at least go read some good fiction now. It gives me another excuse to avoid that heinous textbook. If I ever write a college textbook, I'm going to write it like an epic story. My heroine will wake up one day to find that she secretly comes from a long line of special librarians and she has to attend a special librarian school. Each year will bring more and more peril as she navigates the murky waters of librarianship, learning all about collection development, good reference materials, technology and ::gasps:: cataloging in the Dewey Decimal system!!! I think I will create a year of school for each important area. It will be amazing! But I suppose I need to actually finish this MLS degree before I am qualified to write any textbooks. Oh well.......
That is a lot of squealing! Lmfao but congrats you're lucky! Really want to go to meet some authors. Any author will do lol. They never come to Jersey -__-
ReplyDeleteYes, I feel very lucky! Authors normally don't come to this area either. They tend to avoid the South like the plague. Except that I did get to see Stephenie Meyer in Atlanta in 2007. Talk about squealing, that was a 14 year old girl squeal-fest! : )
