Most of you have replies via email, but for the rest:<br /><br />@Sophia - LOVE Maria! She's local for us (and she actually attended my high school), so we've met her a few times.<br /><br />@teepee - This event was definitely unique! NYC has some of the best events, no doubt!<br /><br />@Jessy - Definitely fun -- we love book signings!<br /><br />@Alexandra Roxana & @Jarvis - Sorry you couldn't be there, but good luck with the giveaway!<br /><br />@The Story Queen - JK Rowling..... I'd be fainting with you! Funny enough, in line for Meg's signing, I met someone who'd met her!<br /><br />@Heidi Ayarbe - LIBBA BRAY is right! All three authors deserve their names permanently in all caps, haha. Love seeing authors turning into blubbering idiots over other authors -- it's great!<br /><br />@Leilani - Nice choice! I've yet to read Simone's books, but I've heard amazing things!Donna Gambalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00317767593205769881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144844961496270733.post-27597168054471827732011-06-03T19:40:14.891-04:002011-06-03T19:40:14.891-04:00Simone Elkeles without a doubt!!!Simone Elkeles without a doubt!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653907894679262963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144844961496270733.post-45005879038244373562011-06-03T19:38:19.978-04:002011-06-03T19:38:19.978-04:00YAY!!
