Had a fantabulous night at Lesley Livingston's book launch for Once Every Never! She was so completely down to earth, easy to talk to and extremely fun. She did the most amazing reading - filled with character voices, gestures and complete immersion in telling the tale.
She took time with each person that came to get books signed and made you feel like you mattered - she thanked her friends, family and the blogging community. Lesley was so absolutely charming. She signed three books for me: my ARC, a copy for a friend and well a finished copy that will be given away shortly on my blog.
She even had some friends dress up as Druids and Romans. The looked spectacular. One of the blogger girls I met has a group picture that I hope will pop up on their blog this week (when it does I'll snag a copy to show you the group).
I finally got to meet Christie from Bookjunkies! She is the sweetest person ever (and so is her sister). I also met some other new bloggers (who were even nice enough to drive me to my car - since I parked further away than I thought). It was nice to meet Mel from He Followed Me Home and Jackie from My Ever Expanding Library. Oh and I met SallySparrow and Mel and Jackie introduced me to Bronwyn from PenguinCA.
