The Pioneer Woman "Black Heels to Tractor Wheels"

I just got my copy

PW will be signing copies

on Valentine's Day

here in Dallas

@ the Borders

@ Preston/Royal

I'm still trying to decide if I will go

I have already requested off

because the key is

getting your wristband

early

I learned my lesson after I

went to her

 cookbook signing

Throwdown with Bobby Flay

Bobby Flay is in Dallas!

I am so excited!

He will be signing "Throwdown"  @ Borders today @ 5pm

"Throwdown" is one of my favorite Food Network shows

A while back I mentioned a place I've been dying to go to in Austin 

 Flip Happy Crepes

The throwdown between them and Bobby is in the book!

&

I just happen to be going

to Austin this weekend

for SITS Bloggy Bootcamp

&

I finally get to check this place out

I cannot say it enough

I'm totally pumped

This is my 2nd book signing

I learned my lesson back in December

when I attended

The Pioneer Woman's book signing

I remember getting there a little before 6pm thinking

wow, this is a breeze!

I got my book and wristband

No line at all

Only to learn

that

people had been getting wristbands

since 10am

and

I was like #400

so

6 and a half hours later..

well...

not this time...

I was at Borders by 9am today

I was one of the first 10 to get a green wristband

Bobby is supposed to start signing at 5pm

I

can

not

wait!!!

Charlaine Harris Book Signing

After going to my first book signing, The Pioneer Woman Cooks

I am inspired to attend more.

Dallas is usually on most author's tours, and I am an avid reader.

Taking my lessons learned from PW's book signing, I am excited.

If you are not familiar with Charlaine Harris, she is the author of the Sookie Stackhouse series.  True Blood on HBO is loosely based on her novels.

Well, it's a little early, but mark your calendars.

The latest book in the Sookie Stackhouse series, "Dead in the Family" will be released on May 4, 2010.

Charlaine will be at Borders @ 10720 Preston Road, Dallas, TX on May 15, 2010 @ 2pm.

I plan on being there! 

Stay tuned as I gather more information.

Like..

1) Can we bring our own copy of the book or do we have to purchase it there ?

2) Do we have to get a bracelet or some kind of # ? If so, how early can we get it?

(I'm serious.. I'm going to do -like join a fan club to get any early scoop. I will draw the line at camping out overnight.)

Twilighters...

I have found a new awesome series. A friend loaned me "City of Bones" by Cassandra Clarke like 6 months ago. I put it aside as a "book I will read when I have nothing else to read". So, I picked it up this weekend, and when I saw that the main character was 15 years old, I almost put it down (just like I almost did with "Twilight") - but once I started reading it - LOVED IT... just like "Twilight". I couldn't wait to get the next book "City of Ashes". I looked at Half Price Books first, but they didn't have it. I felt a little weird looking in the young adults section, but oh well. I found it at Borders - in the young adult section. I almost picked up the third book "City of Glass" but it was hardback ($$), and I figured that was too much to spend on books - because we all know that I didn't leave Half Price Books empty handed!
