The Romance Bookie

Hey Everyone!! So it's finals week for me.  I've got one Saturday (online) and one on Monday, so work, studying, AND overall life has been keeping me very busy!! Summer is so close though, I can smell it!!!!!! Anyway, for Week 1 of Meg-A Readers I officially suck! I'm sorry! I promise next week will be different! I will think of something fun to write about, because I will be able to use my breaks at work to think of something fun, instead of working on the last little things for my classes!! :) Anyway for this week I've got some great posts to share with you! :) LK Kimball kicked off Meg-A Readers with a bang, by doing  Six Questions with Suze Simon!   It's really great and you should definitely check it out! Especially if you're a fan of Meg Cabot's Mediator Series! And then Karen over at Lady Jessop, has her review of  From the Notebooks of a Middle School Princess !!!  Awww...that book was SOOOO cute!! I can't wait to share my review wh...

Alright, so time for Part 2 of my awesome weekend at The LA Times Festival of Books this year!! Sunday I went with my brother, and really he only came with me for one reason... Jeff Kinney.  If you have elementary aged children, especially boys, then you will know who this is... The author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid . It took another hour and a half drive, but we made it to USC around 10ish.  The Jeff Kinney talk/signing didn't start until 10:50 am, but the line for the signing was already insane; so I knew we had to get in ASAP, so we wouldn't be cut off! My brother was in line for THREE AND A HALF HOURS!!!  I ended up having to go on my own to a couple signings, otherwise the whole would have been a bust for me. I, unfortunately, ended up missing the opportunity to meet Jeff, because I had to rush to the Gayle Forman signing, but my brother was stoked on life, because he got to meet the creator of one his heroes. And he snagged me a signed copy of the first one...

Hey Everyone!! I did something extremely exciting two weekends ago! I got the amazing opportunity to once again to attend The Festival of Books at USC in Los Angeles!  It's a two day event, where an amazingly talents list of authors attend.  It's so huge, and authors are just walking among everyone else! (Which I know, they do anyway in life, but it's still so cool, because you never know who you are going run into!) Today is for Part 1 of the event, because I attended both days, and took many photos, plus all my new beautiful signed copies that I get to add to my shelf!!! Day 1, Saturday, started with my AMAZING boyfriend and I heading out at 8:30 in the morning, because we live about an hour and a half away from USC.  We got there a little after ten, grabbed a map, and headed to our (or rather my) first event of the day...Sarah Dessen. I've been a huge fan of Sarah's since I started seriously reading my freshmen year of high school ten years ago.  I own ev...
