Little Thoughts About Books and Stuff

Sarah from Smart Bitches, Trashy Books interviews Nalini last night at the East Brunswick Barnes and Nobel's store. They talked mostly about the Psy/Changling series. Some things she shared: We'll get pup/cubs in the next book. The next book will probably be a big family style books with all the characters we've met over the last 13 books. Amara won't be getting her own book, but we will see her growth as a background character. Nakita probably won't be getting a book, her story is too complex, but we'll see it unfold during this next arc. Then she did a book signing. I hate having my picture taken so I just like to take a picture of the author signing my book.

...to my signed book collection. I love Chopped which in turn means (at least for me) that I love Ted Allen.  When I heard he was going to be at my local B&N for a book signing, I was super excited and all ready to rush over straight from work.  Then I remembered that my cousin's high school graduation was the same night.   Book Club to the Rescue! My book club meets at B&N and one of the women works there.  She was working the book signing and offered to have a copy signed for me.  YEA!   I really thought that it would just be a randomly signed copy, but nope, it was personalized! I loved the way he signed this!  I can't wait to   try some of the recipes in this cookbook.  Jojo and I are always on the hunt for a good Mac & Cheese recipe and he's got one with Gouda and Cheddar I really want to try!

On Tuesday (1/3) I went to a local Barnes & Noble for Amanda Hocking book singing and release for her book Switch the first book in her Trylle Trilogy. She talked about writing, self-publishing, and making the change to sign with a publisher. It was all very interesting. Then she read the prologue from Switched and snagged me! The book had sounded intriguing which is why I went, (I like getting books signed) I figured that the book would end up in my TBR pile. I'm starting Switched right after I finish writing this blog post! After her reading we got our books signed. A friend had come with me and after hearing the prologue decided she wanted to get the book too. I'm going to go start this now!
