It came to Nashville last year and he wanted to go...but the date ended up to be the same night of a basketball game.

One of my favorite memories from 2009 was taking a cab with another teacher across NYC during our NY spring break trip to go to the Teen author book thing they had there (I cant remember the name exactly) There were 45 authors signing that day but I could only afford a few books and we had to get back to see a show.<br />I LOVED IT I will go back there next time I'm in NYC.<br /><br />And NCTE has tons and tons of free stuff and cheap books during author signings. I had to buy another suitcase to get all my swag home this year.sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418406897790083901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19961833.post-67639796003549923762010-01-02T23:44:06.672-06:002010-01-02T23:44:06.672-06:00That's so cool!

I used to make fun of my hubby and his autographed sports memorabilia, but now I can't say anything since I hunt for autographed books. <br /><br />My fave author is Mo Willems and get autographed books from Books of Wonder bookstore in NYC. He (and lots of authors) does signings there and they sell the leftovers at list cost. (Plus shipping.) Plus I met him a couple of summers ago so 98% of all my books from him are signed. <br /><br />Google Books of Wonder, it's like heaven for book lovers! <br /><br />SO Jealous about NCTE, hear they have TONS of book giveaways. ARCs and such. <br /><br />Oooh, very cool about the signed book! I'm jealous! :)ttulizzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02416139721030072814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19961833.post-49072825185379429622010-01-02T23:39:28.988-06:002010-01-02T23:39:28.988-06:00I am so incredibly jealous!

I got out of habit of watching them in the past few months, but used to religiously watch them and spent HOURS in their archives. HILARIOUS. <br /><br />I have a signed, personalized copy of Paper Towns. I haven't met him, a friend hooked me up, but that is a super special book to me!ttulizzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02416139721030072814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19961833.post-67208204958107212392010-01-02T23:26:22.871-06:002010-01-02T23:26:22.871-06:00I have an incredibly innocent author-crush on John...I have an incredibly innocent author-crush on John Green.<br />I love Paper Towns and Looking for Alaska.<br />Have you seen his vlogs that he does with his brother on youtube? <br />HILARIOUS!<br /><br />they are the vlogbrothers on there.sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418406897790083901noreply@blogger.com
