Book Signing

   I love these books



   What do bookworms do when their favorite author is signing books at the Costco down the street? Easy,  they wake up early on a Saturday morning to stand in line and meet him!

On our way!

   Let me just say that I have tried this before...  less successful and ending with a very sad reader at Barnes and Noble.   Did you know not all authors stay for all hours they are scheduled to sign books?  Once the line is gone, so are they.  A lesson I learned the hard way.  Jared managed to get my Fablehaven books signed for me last Christmas (best surprise ever!) but I  wanted to meet Brandon Mull and ask him book questions.  You know the hidden secrets of your favorite series, characters and writing style.  NERD.  

   We got in line, watched all the young kids meet Brandon Mull and then it was OUR turn!   I started reading his books after his first one was published and have picked up each new one as they came out! I still enjoy pulling Fablehaven off my bookshelf on rainy days when I need a good adventure. He recently just came out with a new series called the Beyonders which I am now completely hooked on too!  He's a creative author writing to young kids... and ME.

(Thanks for taking one for the team Jared and taking the picture!)

   Just for those curious enough... His favorite character to write is Seth. He will most likely revisit the Fablehaven world (awesome!). and is currently writing the second Candy Shop Wars and the last Beyonders  that will be out later this fall!

  1. I love this post and the photos. I guess I'm going to have to start reading this series of books, too. The Hunger Games series was so good. Costco here I come for Fablehaven!
