All The World's A Stage, I'm An Open Book.

Jeez, it seems like all my posts lately have to do with having children but I'm not even close to doing that yet! Guess when something's on my mind, it shows. Here's something completely non-kid related.

Have you read or heard about the Wings series by Aprilynne Pike? They're lovely, original fantasy books with all the things we can't resist: a love triangle, abnormally abstinent teenagers, and lots of faeries fighting ugly trolls. The third book in the series, Illusions, came out last week and I found out Aprilynne Pike was going to do a book signing in Pasadena, so I thought I'd go and check it out. I'd never been to one before, and thankfully Liv the book-signing queen gave me some pointers, and it was a success! There were maybe thirty people there and I had fun listening to her talk about her experience writing a best-selling book. I'd totally recommend going to one of her book signings.

It also worked out that my cousin Ed and his wife Rachel were in town by Redlands, so we met up after the signing and ate some yummy nummy Peruvian food. I'll post pics of that laters. It was a full but great night!
