I'm always the one looking at each of the photos for my fav authors, and I doubt I'm alone in my obsess, er, fandom. So it's great (er, I'm so sorry) that the two of you will be working through the signing (and not hoarding books like the rest of us). :) The video bit is such a cool idea!

Elizabeth was there. I feel so silly not having included her in the post. I didn't actually see her (or Mary Castillo) as I was not on the premises when she was signing. I will edit my post.. uh.. post-haste! I did indeed take a photo of all those books, but thought maybe it was overkill to post it! There were, um, a lot. And yes, thank goodness I was able to take multiple trips to my car to unload my 'stash.' Good plan for RWA! I will indeed be staying at the hotel, but Emily will be doing the trek back to the East Bay (it isn't all THAT bad) so she can squeeze her little girl a little bit each day. Though I would LOVE to wait in the lines to collect books during the literacy signing, I will be working working working taking photos and videos of our clients. Hmmm... it isn't as though I won't have enough to read to last me for a long while! Yes, of course! Elizabeth was there. I feel so silly not having included her in the post.

This is reader nirvana. After reading your blog, I ran up to BEA's site. I would have to be an author (meaning an editor would have to buy my book and agree to have it come out before Christmas 2009), or a journalist, or Emily's and Abi's friend (??) in order to get into BEA 2009 in beautiful NYC. WHere are the pictures of all these books you managed to lug home. Luckily for you, you live right there, so no mailing costs were incurred. For RWA, I'm going to bring a prepaid box. Whatever doesn't fit in there gets tossed. I'm going to be less obsessive over standing in long lines for books and have them autographed. I will do the rounds of the books signing, but watch more, collect less. (Famous last words, and all that.) DO you two have a room at the hotel, or are going to make the trek back to Berkeley every night? BTW, Wax author Elizabeth Boyle also signed away scads of books. OMGosh. This is reader nirvana.
