This past weekend, Shannon dropped by to meet fans and sign books at Once Upon a Time in Montrose, California:.
I got there early, introduced myself and bought a copy of the very funny Austenland, which she signed in a way that literally made me laugh out loud (since I’ve already read the book and got “the joke”) and we chatted a little about the industry and our mutual friend, the lovely Buzz Girl, Wendy Toliver.
And since I now own two copies of Austenland, I thought I’d offer up my original hardcover copy (only slightly used--read once) to any interested reader. All you have to do to be entered in this contest is to tell us a favorite author who you’d like to meet! The winner will be chosen by my handy-dandy random number generator and announced next Monday on my blog.
Good luck!

ReplyDeleteWhat's that you say? A random number generator chooses the winner? Oh...in that case, Alexie Sherman.
I don't want to be entered because I just bought Austenland on Saturday! But she seems cool, and I would love to meet her. There are so many writers I would love to meet! But the one I want to meet the most is Meg Cabot.
ReplyDeleteAs many authors as I can! I met Gail Carson Levine the day I found out one of my best friends had died; he was a Marine. It helped my day so much! I would like to meet all of you!
ReplyDeleteI think I'd like to meet Ally Carter and pick her brain a little bit.
ReplyDeleteHow fun that you got to meet Shannon, Tina! I have a copy of Austenland and really enjoyed it!!
I'd love to meet Laurie Halse Anderson
ReplyDeleteIf I had to pick only one it would be JK Rowling but my list is huge.
ReplyDeleteI would love to meet Terri Farley, James Patterson, and Helen Dunmore!
ReplyDeleteKatie P.
Well, since I've already met Tina, I'd have to say Tamora Pierce. When is her next book due out, anyway?
ReplyDeleteKatherine Paterson and Beverly Cleary! Roald Dahl (would of been amazing).
ReplyDeleteDid I really write "Alexie Sherman"?!?!? DOH!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to meet Neil Gaiman.
ReplyDeleteI'd really like to meet Tina Ferraro in person ! would you come down to my country ? :)
ReplyDeleteOr it will be Suzanne collins. Can't get enough of her Hunger Games !
Yeah, Chuck, you wrote Alexie Sherman, but I just figured it was Backwards Day at your library! =)
ReplyDeleteMariska, I'd love to meet all my readers! And while I have no plans at present to be out of the country...what IS your country?
ReplyDeleteSomedays it seems like EVERYDAY is backwards day here in rural GA!
ReplyDeleteAwesome blog! As my favorite author I would like to meet Wendy toliver!
ReplyDeleteI always feel like Jennifer Weiner and I would be good buds if we ever got a chance to have lunch. :)
ReplyDeleteMeeting Anne Cassidy has been on my life list for a long time. Her book, Missing Judy just blew me away when I was 15, and since then she's been kinda 'Queen of Teen Fic' for me *shrugs*
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had lots of fun, Tina! Great post.
ReplyDeleteToo many to name! That's pretty cool that you got to meet Shannon. People always ask me if I'm related to her, which sadly I don't think I am. ;)
ReplyDeleteProbably Sophie Kinsella, because she's my favorite. But it is really hard to pick just one.
ReplyDeleteHard to choose, but I'd like to meet Cynthia Voight.
