Emily Giffin signing in Los Angeles (Thursday June 5th, 2014)

I did something really exciting on Thursday! I got to meet Emily Giffin at the Grove in Los Angeles! :)

2014 has been an amazing year so far with me going to signings! I've had the opportunity to meet so many amazing authors!  I definitely give all the credit to me having my driver's license, but also just to the fact that 2014 seems to have had some amazing author coming within two hours of where I live! :)  There might another one I'm going in late July if all things work out! :)

Anyway to the EMILY GIFFIN signing!!!

To this signing I went with my amazing mom!  I drag her along with me sometimes :).

We got there right on time, got my wristband after I bought my copy of Emily's latest release, The One and Only, which hit shelves on May 20th!  We had excellent seats!

That's me and my mom behind that empty seat in the front row!
The picture above is also the one Emily Giffin took herself, for her tour pics :).

Here's Emily when she first got on the stage...




Anyway, the signing was really fun! There was even a super special surprise guest (which I'll be honest, I had a crazy suspicion he'd be there :))...



Collin Egglefield!! He played Dex in movie version of Something Borrowed!!! Isn't he super handsome??!!







And then one of "Dex" by himself...



I was able to record Emily's discussion, which was awesome!!



During the discussion I was able to ask a question, which was, "How far along is the script writing for the movie version of Something Blue?", which you can hear answered in the video above.  But anyway, the screenwriters for both Something Borrowed and Love the One You're With were both in the audience! In fact she ended up calling the screenwriter for Love the One You're With up on stage!

After the discussion, it was time for the signing! :)

Unfortunately, Emily was only able to sign copies of The One & Only, and one other title from hers.  I of course, had all of my Emily Giffin books with me :), but I decided on having Something Blue signed!

Marriage Vacation by Pauline Turner Brooks (aka Jo Piazza)

Hey Everyone! I finished another book!  I bought this one along with Shrill , when I found an Amazon Books store in NYC last week! I cannot believe I already finished both in less than a week, when I hadn't finished a single book since last July! From Goodreads : In season four of Darren Star's hit TV Land series Younger , the editors of Empirical Press are shocked and deeply moved when they read Marriage Vacation , an autobiographical novel by the publisher's estranged wife, Pauline Turner Brooks.  Knowing the book will cause a sensation, they decide they must publish it.  Now you can read what the hype is about. To find herself...she might lose everything. By all appearances, Kate Carmichael had the perfect life: two adorable daughters, a pre-war town house on the Upper East Side, and a husband who ran one of the most successful publishing companies in New York.  But when Kate attends the wedding of two of her oldest friends, and reconnect...

The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick

I saw the movie Hugo (directed by Martin Scorsese) right before the New Year.  Let me back track, and let you know that usually I am NOT a fan of Oscar movies.  If I'm being honest, I find them to be boring.  However, this year has seemed to bring quite a few more exceptions than normal.  Among those are: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 , The Help , and Hugo.   I fell in love with Hugo .  I thought it so beautifully done.  The music, the characters, the story.  I found myself crying even at points that wouldn't necessarily make you cry.  I honestly, didn't know the movie was based on a book; but when I found out at the end, I knew I had to read it. The winner of the Children's Caldecott Award, The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick is nothing like anything I've ever read.  Normally, when I read I imagine the story that I am reading  unfolding in my head like a movie; but with The Invention of Hugo ...

The Hunger Games Should be BANNED!!

Image
Okay, let me begin by saying, you may find my title misleading...but guess what? It got you to read this post! :) PLEASE CONTINUE READING!! I really think something needs to be known!  The Hunger Games should NOT be allowed in elementary schools!!  In fact, I don't even think it should be allowed in middle school either! This is the whole point to this post! I read the series last year, and enjoyed them.  I thought the story was definitely very original.  I am going to be making a few lists in this post, and here is my first... Pros about The Hunger Games : -original story -great characters -details were great...sometimes a bit too much actually -metaphorically speaking, the message I got out of this book is people are selfish and that they would do anything to survive, and while this isn't a great message, I think it is true about people (at least quite a bit around the world...NOT all!! but quite a few) Cons about The Hunger Games : -I think my #1 c...
