About two years ago my boyfriend sent me a screenshot of an event happening in Scranton, PA that my favorite author, Rainbow Rowell, would be attending. I thought he was just showing me that she'd be there for fun, but he sent a follow up text asking me if I wanted to go. I tooootally thought he was trolling me, but the day came and we got in the car and made the two hour drive to Scranton!!
We left the auditorium a little early to beat the huge line that would soon form in the next room to take photos and get autographs. We were probably the 10th people in line which I was super excited. I don't know if you have ever waited for a celebrity for a meet and greet, but it's happened to me plenty of times that I wait H O U R S and never get to even meet the person. When I got up to her I gave my phone to Joseph handed her my two books which YES she is TOUCHING in this photo. She even complimented the fact that I had the special editions. I could not stop smiling. I don't think I've ever been more awkward in my life. I quietly asked her for a photo and I stood so far away from her. In my head I just kept repeating "I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy."

Great review. Hoping that you become addicted and review Robert Russo`s books. He's my favorite author and has the ability to transport you to his many small town settings and into the heads and hearts of his characters. I will give Rainbow Rowell a try keep up the good work

Thanks! I’ll look into those. I don’t think I’ve read any by that author yet. :)
