Why Am I Always Blogging About Books?

Oh yeah, because I'm always reading books....

So on Wednesday, I bumped up my geek-meter to a whole new level. I went to a book signing. Yup...

So, anyway, I had been on Facebook and happened to see that Veronica Roth (afore mentioned in the previous... what, two posts? Yeah...) was going to be at Joseph-Beth bookstore in Cincinnati. I wrote on my friend Ben's wall (Because he is as obsessed with Divergent as I am) and told him, jokingly, that we should go. He actually planned things out and worked it out so we could go. This is why we work well together. I come up with ideas, and he makes them happen.

So, anyway, we're at Joseph-Beth, meeting Veronica Roth the day after her 2nd book comes out. No big deal. Except that it's a HUGE deal!!!

This was the sign on the door when we got there. It took all my willpower not to squeal like a twelve-year-old. So then we each bought one of the books, and waited around for a while. Then Veronica came out, read from the book, and answered people's questions (Including mine. Not that I freaked out or anything.). Then we had to wait forever to have our books signed.

Yes. That is her. *HERO WORSHIP!!!* I kept thinking of all the intelligent things I should say to her. But, in the words of Ben, not a single intelligent thing was said that day. I told her I liked the red streak in her hair. That was it. *facepalm*

And, yes. I now have a signed copy of Divergent. :D :D :D :D

Ben has exams this week, so he made me take Insurgent away from him so he wouldn't be reading it instead of doing his work. Needless to say, I finished it this morning. It was FANTASTIC, but it has the biggest cliff-hanger, probably ever. I would really love to do something illegal to get the manuscript for the 3rd book... I can't wait another year. I won't give away anything about the book, because since it only came out a few days, and not many people have read it, I know a lot of people would be unhappy about me spoiling it. (Yes, Ben. I'm talking about you. Hehehe. I feel like a mind reader knowing that you are reading this. Which I shouldn't, since you've told me you do. Still...)

So, now that I am completely unhappy and don't want to go back to the real world.... I'm re-reading the first book.

I think I have a reading problem.....
I might need therapy....
BUT I WANT TO KEEP READING!!!!!!!

*Dies from waiting too long for the next book*

P.S. I saw this license plate on the way into the book store. And also, another car had the little stick figure family stickers on their back windows. Only instead of stick figures, they were Star Wars characters. I love being surrounded by geeks...
