This Weekend I Met ...

[Killearn Kitties]

Well what an amazing weekend you had! I hope you got Cheryl and Laurie's autographs too!

Sorry Karen and Paul didn't get our autographs, but they know where to find us if they want them

[finn's mom]

Wow, that sounds like a great day! How awesome that she gave you her phone number. I would have loved to been there, especially to meet the author of Marley and Me. Very cool!

WOW! What an exciting weekend Karen.

I thinks yours is a life that I would love to have led yanow? Books...creativity...animals...authors....travel.. ..

[Karen]

Well, will we see you in Findlay this Sunday, Deb? It's just a little travel for ya, but it is some! And LOTS of animals ... And you'll probably still be able to see my bruises I get each time I go to the Book Expo from carrying heavy bags of books around! (I bruise absurdly easy, and they take forever to fade.)

The author of the artemis fowl books eh? I have friends who read those.

Yup! I love those books - I describe them to people as "the wicked Harry Potter!" That was a very long line!

Karen, what a great weekend for you and Paul! Of course, I know the highlight of the weekend was to get to have Laurie and Cheryl join you for dinner!!!

Scott and I are traveling to NYC in early August and I will finally get to meet my friend, K9 Karen, for the very first time! We are headed there to attend a benefit that will feature Stephen King (one of Scott's favorite authors), John Irving and JK Rowling. They will all 3 do readings from some of their unpublished works. We are so excited about it. I have another good friend, Carol, who I met long ago through the MSN Golden Retriever board, who will attend the reading with us that night. And I've never met her in person either!

I'm so glad you had such a wonderful experience.

You met John Grogan!!! His book is the absolute BEST book I've ever read! That's so awesome, Karen!

Karen, what an envious weekend. I am thrilled that you got to meet all of the authors and I hope your bruises go away soon.

It sounds like a great weekend.

My bruises take forever to fade, but the books will be here far longer, and the memories even longer! Now it is just "what to read first?" and finding what books are in which boxes is always a bit like Christmas!
