Fun at the Book Signing

We went to Brandon Sanderson's book signing and Q&A at the Las Vegas Barnes and Noble last Tuesday. It was fun to see him again. He told me that he's not planning to do the BYU conference next year due to the immense pressure he's under to finish the Wheel of Time book, but he hopes to be back the year after that.

His new Alcatraz book isn't due out until Nov 1, but happily he's not so famous that there's a strict release date. My husband spotted one sitting on the wrong shelf so we snatched it up and took it to the register before it was too late. My 9-year-old son just finished reading it so I've got to go now and finish it myself because my son is just bursting to spoil it for me.

Too bad about him not being there next year... but hey, I guess that means we'll get to latch onto a different author and steal all of their knowledge and experience. Buwahahahahah!

I still haven't read Alcatraz. I am horrible. I will get one on my next paycheck. ;)
