In My Mailbox!

I want to start by saying... the Smart Chicks stop in The Woodlands was awesome! So worth taking time off work and the 3 1/2 hour drive! At this stop were Alyson Noel, Melissa Marr, Kelley Armstrong, Cassandra Clare, Kami Garcia, Margaret Stohl, Holly Black and Rachel Vincent. It was a crapton of awesomeness all in one spot, and I have to admit, I was pretty overloaded by the time I got to the end of the signing line. I had 22 books total to get signed (19 were mine), including the few I bought at the store. Also, you know those orange chucks I won from Heidi Kling in the summer? They are filliping with signatures nicely- and Cassandra Clare even signed it as Team Magnus (definitely my favorite of her characters)! All in all, it was awesome though! And now on to my IMM post....

    You got The Dead Boys! And Blessed.... *stares at the pretty*

    Those posters look fantabulous--especially Sea's. It looks like a movie poster!

    Sounds like you had a great time at the signing. I'm disappointed that the tour isn't coming near enough to my part of the country for me to go. Have a great reading week!

    The Woodlands on the other side of Houston is what you are talking about right Kari?

    Sooo I'm so jealous you got to see Smart Chicks. They aren't coming anywhere within like 17 hours of me (and don't think I wouldn't be willing to drive several hours, but 17? I'm too poor to afford a hotel room). But awesome haul :)
