Sweet Author Signings

It's been a crazy week of author signings!

First, Rob Wells launched Feedback:

This is when he's telling us about his health struggles,
that happened all during the writing of Feedback.

At the signing table!

My book!
I read it already and need to review.
Then Maggie Stiefvater came to the neighborhood on tour for The Raven Boys:

This is when she is telling us about Gansey's shoe.

At the signing table!
My copy of The Scorpio Races, which I confessed to her
was my favorite of the bunch.
Then we were treated to an appearance of Lois Lowry, one of only five authors who has won the Newbery Award twice!
Here's a bunch of us bloggers waiting, waiting, waiting.
(If I wasn't so tired at the moment, I would add names and links!)

This is when she is telling us about how The Giver, and its series came to be.

At the signing table!
My copy of Son, which I plan to read this weekend!

What fun we are having around here! And it's not over yet... stay tuned for more author encounters!

  1. Wow! You really are lucky. I'm especially jealous about Lois Lowry. That would have been remarkable.

    1. Melissa: She was awesome, though one of those quick automatic signers. Old hat for her I'm guessing.

  7. I didn't know Rob Wells had a signing this week, too. It's been a good book week in Utah. :) And it was fun to sit by you guys for Maggie St.... (Sorry I stole your husband's chair!) I love that she drew a horse on your book.

  8. Fun, fun! I like that you mostly shared pictures. Maybe it's just cause I'm usually with you on these things but I tend to get bored of everyone's play by plays.

    1. Jenny: Yep, I was feeling too much in a hurry/lazy to do the play by play this time.

  10. I really wanted to go see Lois Lowry when she was here in AZ last week, but guess where I was? Utah! Oh well, we had fun houseboating on Lake Powell. Still, I'm jealous that you got to see/hear her. Was she awesome?? I bet she was!

    1. Susan: Her presentation was great, but her book signing demeanor was a bit stand offish. :(
