EVERNEATH release party

Last night was the release party for Brodi Ashton's EVERNEATH! It was held at Kings English and I think it was one of the best release parties I've ever been to.  There were tons of people there I swear more than I've ever seen for a release! It was amazing and Brodi totally deserves the support and love.

I was so excited to look over and see Brodi's dad there ready to record her speech and take pictures!  It was so happy and exciting!  I really wish I had video of Brodi's speech myself because it was fun and so her!  I loved it! 

There was even cake with the beautiful cover on it!

And Jenn Aubrey and I got a picture with her. Her Husband promised to give out hugs to everyone who bought her book I didn't see that!  But I think I got better.. I got a hug from Brodi :)

We of course went to Cheesecake factory after, it was a really fun night!

Ally Condie, Brodi Ashton, and Bree Despain, OH MY!

Last night was the release party for Ally Condie's Crossed. She was adorable as always as she talked about her book, the setting and the characters.  I'm soo excited to read this book.  I just need to finish one very pleasant distraction that I'll tell you about in a minute.

I went to Ally's Launch party with a group of my regular book lover friends. And we of coarse went to cheese cake factory after. It was a ton of fun:)

Brandi, JaCee, Sheree, Ally Condie, Me, and Jenn

Also at the Launch we saw Brodi Ashton.  Who if you didn't know I've been a bit stalker like towards all things concerning her book or blog.  I love her!  and she is so cute in person too! That distraction I mentioned above is that for 6 days I am in possession of an Everneath ARC. I'm so in love with it already and extremely sad to have to give it away on Monday. But its worth sharing!  I get to post my review on January 2nd. So look for that and if you don't know what this book is you should look it up, buy it on January 24th and check out this book trailer!



And we saw Bree Despain. Who of course everyone loves already! but have you seen the cover of her of her new book?  Look for it in stores in March!

SO PRETTY

The Lost Saint Release Party!

Happy Book Birthday to Bree's Book The Lost Saint!

To kick off the release of the book King's English had release party that I was lucky to go to with my awesome ladies!  Sadly I didn't get too many pictures and again didn't get a group picture, I really need to get better at that!

Bree did an amazing job talking about her book and her process of getting through it, which I always love hearing peoples writing stories.  Jenn, AKA the girl who ditched her book with Bree, asked about how Bree found an agent. Bree talked about AgentQuery.com.  Someday people will be asking Jenn those questions and maybe even me. 

Bree was beautiful and confident and very personable as usual!  I love that her family always comes to her events, what a great support system!

Thank you to the Hubs and Jenn's Sparky for babysitting tonight we love you guys and it was so much fun!

Bree thank you for writing these amazing stories! You're a huge inspiration and you keep us entertained! WE LOVE YOU!

Richelle Mead Signing part 2 in SLC!!

Last night was the night we've been waiting for the night Richelle came to Salt Lake City!! *insert fan girl scream*  I got to go with a big group of my friends (most of which, I've gotten addicted to VA) and we had so much fun! This was the second time my awesometastic friend Jenn and I have seen Richelle the first time we flew to Portland, and were only there for a grand total of 18 hours, and if you'll remember we made her blog when we went!  Well I'm super excited to say we made the blog again check it out here! AHHHHH!!!!!

Being in the same room as the greatest Author I've ever read is a very surreal experience, not only is she extremely talented and brilliant she is gorgeous and very kind too.  Here she is doing her reading of Last Sacrifice.

Brave Jenn asked about our favorite Angel Carter and what his plan for Georgina is and we found out that he does have an agenda! 

This signing wasn't as organized as the one we went to in Portland when it came time to start signing books, and there was some confusion in the line, but I'm still thankful for Kings English for bringing Richelle to SLC and we did get some good pictures while we were waiting in line, since sadly there were no posed pictures at this signing, at least we got some in Portland:)

Jenn and I waiting in line 

Casie and Jenn





My beautiful Sisters and me!

Now I have to tell the story of the Jailbait shirt.  Casie is Jenn's sister and when I first met her I thought she was 17 or 18, alas no she was only 13.  So When I heard that she was coming to the signing I had to make her this shirt! It was so fitting!

We of course came with gifts for Richelle, because she deserves so much for everything she does!  We brought her a coffee mug!



Afterword we all went to the Cheesecake factory, and sadly I didn't get any pictures there or any pictures of the whole group which I'm very sad about. so you'll have to settle for a picture of my cheesecake that, yes I ate for breakfast! Don't Judge me!

Richelle Mead signing

My Friend Jenn and I ran away to Portland this week to see the all time great Richelle Mead.  Portland is beautiful and I was in awe of all the great talent at the signing.  We met bloggers, other Authors and OF COARSE Richelle!

Richelle read from Spirit Bound.  I loved how she had to explain why Rose wanted a popsicle it was such a great insight into her writing process and some of the things Editors ask and press the writers about.  Richelle brought a box of goodies they handed out to people and there were 150-200 people there to see her! It was amazing!  After her reading she did a Q&A and there were some great questions asked!  Even Jenn got a chance to ask a question! She was so brave I wouldn't have been able to do it.  Jenn asked her, what her favorite and least favorite part of the writing process was.  I got it on video and if I can figure out how to flip the video so it doesn't play on its side I'll post it.

We took Richelle a shot glass from Utah, and we're Fan girl type excited to see that we made her blog! http://blue-succubus.livejournal.com/251020.html 

The trip was short but so worth it!
