In My Mailbox + Meeting Richelle Mead

So... this week was awesome not only for the books I got, but because Richelle Mead came to Dallas and yes, I was there, in the front row. Yes, I fangirled like crazy. And yes, pictures are below.

For Review:
Pearl by Jo Knowles
Drought by Pam Bachorz
Human.4 by Mike Lancaster
Bitter Melon by Cara Chow
The Lost Saint by Bree Despain
Will Work for Prom Dress by Aimee Ferris
Night School by Mari Mancusi
The Princess of Las Pulgas by C. Lee McKenzie
(Huge thanks to Jo Knowles, Goodman Media, Mari Mancusi + Berkley, and WestSide books)


Gifted/Borrowed:
The Gathering by Kelley Armstrong
Back When You Were Easier to Love by Emily Wing Smith
The Lucky Kind by Alyssa B. Sheinmel
What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen
Paper Covers Rock by Jenny Hubbard
Vesper by Jeff Sampson

And now that that's over, and I am seriously excited about all the books I got this week, here's some photos from Richelle's signing! First she read an excerpt from the book then did a Q&A before settling in to sign books.


I did take my orange Chucks to get signed, as well as some books and my Oh, Bleep t-shirt, which you can see in the bottom picture... where I'm peeking in as well. Overall, it was a seriously fantastic night. My friend went with me, and we met up with Arena from The Nerd's Wife, who, by the way, has a contest going for some signed copies of Last Sacrifice.
