tenoraddict Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I went to a "Meet the Author" event on Saturday night, hosted by our local independent bookstore. The author was Marisa de los Santos, who wrote Love Walked In, Belong to Me, and Falling Together, along with a book of poetry. The event was fun; Marisa was gracious, funny, and personable; the food was delicious. All in all, a lovely adult evening. But the really funny part happened on my way out the door of my house. As I was saying good-bye to my boys, one asked where I was going (asked and answered 4 times already). "To meet an author," I replied for the 5th time. "Oh," says DS14 confidently, "Susan Wise Bauer." Not a question, a statement. "No, actually, it's a different author," said I, thinking, "I need to get out more." DS9 chimes in, even more confidently, "Well, yeah, that's because you've already met Susan Wise Bauer." Apparently I have unconciously conditioned my children to believe that either I only read SWB, or SWB has written every book known to man. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs_JWM Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 You may need to get out more, but hey! Maybe SWB will BE there! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenoraddict Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Well, I do have to say that SWB's "events" are highly entertaining as well as instructional. I've done more book discussion/analysis with her than with any other author. So maybe my boys are right after all! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
