We have A LOT of the same signed books! (But I do NOT have Matrimony!!) I also don't have my Sara Zarr books signed, which I really hope to fix someday. The thing that jumped out at me from this video... you haven't read The Goose Girl yet? Sheesh...drop everything else and read that one now! It's her best one... and that's saying a lot! :) Funny thing! We have A LOT of the same signed books! (But I do NOT have Matrimony!!)

I have "When the Bough Breaks" by Kay Lynn Mangum. I bought that one already signed at the store. The other book I have signed is "Between Husband and Wife" co-authored by Dr. Doug Brinley. He is a relative, and he gave it to us as a wedding gift. I guess I'm not really one to go to an author signing. Maybe I'll go to one sometime. I really want Shannon Hale's new one coming up, so maybe I'll go to a book signing for that. I have two signed books that I know of. I have “When the Bough Breaks” by Kay Lynn Mangum.

P. Taylor (author of Shadowmancer) book. I was away at an arts/music festival, and he came to give a talk and sign some books. Anyway, chatting away as he was signing as you do, he asked where I had came from. I answered and he, responded with "Oh, whereabouts?" I said where it was, in my town, and again he asked, "really? whereabouts." So I answered again, and he then proceeded to describe, in some detail, exactly where my street is! Naturally, my first reaction was to wonder why a fairly well know author was stalking me! The more boring answer, it turned out, was his gran used to live about 2 minutes from my house! And while he himself was not really a local, he had been there many times. Spooky! I’ve got one or two signed editions floating about the shelves, but the one with the best story is my copy of a G.

Unfortunatley, pretty much all the authors I like are from America, and I live in the UK, so getting books signed.. well, it hasn't happened. I would so love to have books signed though, it would just make them kind of special. Rachel Caine is supposed to be coming to London in May, and I'll be trying to go to the signing, so hopefully then! :) Wow, that is a huge load of sign books!

I have The Truth about Forever by Sarah Dessen signed. (Those four I never met the authors--but a good friend surprised me with signed copies from when she met them). I have Lightning Thief signed (Rick Riordan). Let's see, I have Living Dead Girl signed, I believe, and I'm sure I'm forgetting some. I DON'T have (a signed copy) of Matrimony though.

I don't have any signed books. You would think out of all the books I have that at least one or two would be signed, but nope not one! In my defense (LOL), authors don't visit my town....or at least I'm not hearing about it if they do =( I loved this! I don’t have any signed books.

No, seriously, I was uninspired all day. I did two vlogs on two different topics and scratched them both. I do have one post about my bookshelves from back in June: http://blog.mawbooks.com/2008/06/13/a-peek-at-my-bookshelves/ But since putting up my new bookshelves in my bedroom, I am due for another tour.
