They passed on pieces of paper for you to write down who you wanted the books signed to and that was that. There was a really long line and it was getting late. But still! You'd think the authors could say "hi" or "thanks for coming" or something.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-23438570420977311612010-05-09T04:17:55.096-06:002010-05-09T04:17:55.096-06:00I love hearing the author's story behind the s...I love hearing the author's story behind the story. WOW -- 60 rejections....she is quite tenacious!<br /><br />Sorry the autograph signing was such a let-down. I remember when Jodi Picoult was in town we were told that she had to rush to catch a plane, so there were to be no personal photos taken with her (although we could stand off to the side and take as many as we wanted). I wish these authors didn't have such tight schedules.<br /><br />Happy Mother's Day!!Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08414201637917215413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-22842078925876455612010-05-08T22:44:08.500-06:002010-05-08T22:44:08.500-06:00Love this post!
