A Night with John and Hank Green

On the evening of January 26th, twas a Thursday, I had the opportunity to attend the Tour de Nerdfighters in Los Angeles. Not only was I in attendance, but I was in charge of it. I had been planning this event for the store I work for since November when I had heard that the publisher, Penguin, had accepted my proposal. This is probably what I looked like when I got that phone call:

This is an expression of both joy and shock.

After I literally jumped for joy in the middle of the store in front of customers, I got down to work. The months proceeding consisted of working and stressing which produced what will be known as the best night I have ever known. Screw you future wedding (if I ever have one) and possible children. John Green FTW!

Maggie Stiefvater Author Event: Los Angeles

So, in case you don't follow me on Twitter (@MeReadGood) you probably haven't heard that Maggie Stiefvater will be having an author event at the store I work for! I am very very excited that this worked out for us and, obviously, want as many people to come as possible. Please pass this along if you know of anyone who would be interested in attending! I've added the flyer which has more information. If you have any other questions, you can contact me at beneaththejacket [at] gmail [dot] com or you can call the store for details. Number is below.
