Last Tuesday (yes, it took me a week, but HERE WE ARE!) Brandon Mull! Fantastic author and amazingly sweet guy came to our store to sign books and chat with people! Oh my werd, but he was so much fun!
Yes, that's right, I got a picture with him!
And so did Naomi and her friends!
The opportunity to have him kind of fell into our laps and we were so excited! A dad from a local school was working to get Brandon to come and speak at some of the schools. So he called the store and asked if we would want to have Brandon come in and do a signing.
We were not about to say no to an offer like that. We're kind of a small store, so we rarely have the opportunity to have a big name author come in.
If you don't know (and SHAME ON YOU) Brandon Mull is the author of the fabulous Fablehaven series and the standalone book The Candy Shop Wars and he's got a NEW series coming out, starting in March, called The Beyonders.
Here he is with his books and creatures!
You should totes go check out
his website to find out more!
Anyhoodles...
We had so much fun with Brandon in the store. And since I work there I got to hang around and
stalk hang out with him and my fellow co-workers. He was willing to sign as many books as the kids brought in and took a few minutes with each one, chatting with them and letting their parents take pictures. So. Nice. He would ask if the kids had any questions for him. One girl thought about it for a moment and then asked if he liked pie. He does (just so you know).
One kid said something about how many people there were waiting and Brandon said, "Well, that's good. It's always nice when you write a book to know that people want to read it."
Oh my werd, but it was just so much fun being there.
AND you guys totally benefit from it TOO! Because I asked him to sign books for YOU! Aren't you excited!?
