Borders had a booksigning & authors visit with Cassandra Clare & Holly Black this evening and I WENT!!! Holly Black is cool--I LOVED The Spiderwick Chronicles and I have her book Tithe but haven't read it yet. It was cool to see her.
But the coolest was Cassandra Clare. I've read her HP fan fiction! She did an amazing trilogy of stories and it was one of the first GOOD pieces of fan fiction that I've ever read. She also did LotR Very Secret Diaries, which were hilarious. So, when I saw her name on a book a few months ago, I wondered. Did a little digging and found out it was the same person! I haven't read her book yet (City of Bones), but I'm really looking forward to it. She was so cool. When I went up to have her sign my book, I told her I had read her fan fiction and she said cool and that she likes it when people have read her fan fiction and are now getting her book, b/c it shows her evolution and she said she hoped I'll enjoy it. SWEET! We also talked about Nicola's books and the fairy doors in Ann Arbor. :) YAY! Once I get my hoarded group of library books down, it'll be next on my list. Then Tithe too.
YAY!!!

well, rats!
I would have loved to have met them. the Spiderwick series is one of my favorites.
You should check out their LJ sites. I guess they've been blogging for the whole tour. I bet they'll have their future bookstore stops too! :)
