Booksigning Alert!!
The happening place to be this weekend is Boonsboro, Maryland at Turn The Page bookstore. Why, you ask? Well, I’ll tell you…this Saturday, TTP will be celebrating their 11th anniversary with a huge booksigning. Nora Roberts will be signing her latest, Angels Fall. Also signing will be Susan Donovan, Mary Jane Clark, Dorothea Benton Frank and Yours Truly!
The signing starts at 1pm and runs, technically, until 3pm but I’ve signed at this event before and it always runs later than that. Besides, The Creamery around the corner is a great place to while away some time…as is Asaro’s Pizza on the corner, run by Nora’s son, Dan. So come on out! It’s a great old Civil War town, not too far from Antietam battlefield, for you history buffs.
What? You live in Timbuktu and can’t come all the way to Maryland for a day of fun? And you realllllllly want autographed books by some of your fave authors? Well, you can visit Turn The Page’s website and attend their virtual booksigning. All week long, they are hosting an online signing where you can order any of the books being signed this weekend, and the authors will sign them to you on Saturday, then they will be shipped out after the event. You can click on the link in the column to your right, or head to www.ttpbooks.com to attend this virtual event.
Hope to see you all there…and if any Blog Babes are attending, please say so when you see me and you’ll receive a special surprise!
Okay…a little Wednesday MAC. Very little because tomorrow will be a MACdaddy kinda day!
Last Comic Standing sent home three comics last night. One of my faves, Gabe Iglesias, was so besotted with his girlfriend that he repeatedly broke house rules to speak to her. And while, you know, awwwww, sweet, and everything, mostly I was, you idiot! Everyone else had family’s and loved ones, too, and it’s not like you couldn’t talk to her every other freaking day. Get a grip, dude. You blew a major career opportunity that might have helped support you and your girlfriend… I hated to see him go, but it was definitely the right thing to do. Rebecca went home, and it’s about dang time. She is incredibly not funny and I have no idea how she was even on that show. Kristen Key, who is funny, had a really off week and, up against Ty Burnett, who had a great set, she also deservedly went home. I really enjoyed her for the most part and hope good things happen for her. Next week America gets to pick who goes home each week, so that’ll be fun. Left are Roz, Ty, Michelle Ballan, Chris Porter, and Josh Blue. I love Josh, would love to see him win. A Chris win would be fine by me, too.
Tune in tomorrow for some Dance and Project Runway MAC.
Happy Hump Day, y’all!
I did catch most of this last night and agreed with the winner. I thought he was by far the best of the three. Rebecca was NOT funny at all. Kristin was halfway funny but some of her set was a bit out there for a pg13 audience.
Kristen was off last night and Ty deservedly won. I didn’t think Rebecca was funny enough to be there from the start. I’ll miss Gabe but he was in the wrong and it was the right thing to send him home.
I did the virtual signing last time you mentioned and got The Naked Truth signed by you! I think that it is a neat idea. Are you coming to the big signing in Atlanta?
Hi Jennifer - I think it’s so cool that they do the virtual signing. I’m glad you took advantage of it! And no, unfortunately, I won’t be in Atlanta this summer. My son leaves for college right after that, so I chose to stay here and have some family time instead.
And yes, Barbara, I agree Kristen didn’t really read the crowd or situation right with her choice of material. I like her, but she really had an off night.
I think everyone is still scratching their heads wondering how Rebecca made the show over so many other far more talented comics. I’m just glad the final five are all, at least, decent comics in their own style, even if it’s not my preference.
i know no cell phones
I completely understand Donna and don’t blame ya for wanting to spend time with him!
Have fun at the signing Donna. Tell Nora hi for me….lol like she knows who I am. I am really anxious to get Angel Falls. I want to pick up a copy of The Kept Woman by Susan Donovan too. Wish I had some spending money…lol. They are both on my to be baught list though…so sooner or later I will get my copies. Oh and enjoy the food too.
Oooh, I’ll have to do the virtual again.
