Stephenie Meyer Book Signing

OK- I will admit I am still a crazed high school girl. Along with millions of other women I love the "Twilight" series and am madly in love with Edward Cullen, yet want Jacob to win Bella's life. August 2nd is a day set aside to be addicted to the final book in the saga, and December 12 is a night to watch her movie. Last night I had the opportunity to attend her book signing tour in Tempe. You had to buy her new book "The Host" and a ticket to get in, and could take two more books to get signed. I drove two hours and in rush hour traffic to get there. Better than my friends who waited two hours in line to get in and got us front row seats. When she came out she answered questions then we stood in another line to meet her and get our books signed. It was sooooo neat to talk to her in person, she is very sweet and fun. Just some fun statistics we guessed 30% mormon, 30% goth, 10% men, and 60% high schoolers and about 700 people. I am so glad that my friend Julie convinced me to share in this adventure. (Afterwards I locked my keys in the car at a gas station in Scottsdale- thank goodness there was an In 'n Out next door during my wait)

That is so cool! I just had a friend ask me yesterday if I have heard of that series. I guess it is something I need to look into reading!

What an adventure! I've heard good things about those books--so fun you got to go do that. Also, SO FUNNY that it attracts so many 'goths', but I guess it's part of the theme--haha!
