If you read the title, and immediately thought of The Princess Bride, awesome! We are part of the same dorky/geek-ish tribe lol.
Bonus points if you heard Mandy Patinkin AKA Inigo Montoya saying the iconic lines ;).
Anyway, hello, everyone! I wanted to share some cool things with you guys.
I went to an author event almost 2 weeks ago, and it was a lot of fun—despite my awkward.
Yes, that’s me LOL! The name tag was given to us courtesy of the bookstore (which I love!) that hosted the event. The freaked out/hilarious expression? Well, that’s all me ha!
This is what happens when you put an introvert in a room full of authors (who mostly already know each other argh) and expect them to just talk to people/have fun/mingle. Le sigh.
My mom, who was my wingman for the night, pointed out this book because she’s 1) a smart aleck and 2) hilarious!
She also told me, in all seriousness, that I did a great job and am actually good at talking to talking to people (gah, I love her and her pretty lies lol!).
Oh and did you notice her sleeve? We accidentally twinned that day—which my mom claimed we were not doing…but which was of course pointed out by the lady at Starbucks, who right when we walked in asked if we’d “matched on purpose.” *mental headslap*
No, Starbucks lady. No we did not match on purpose. We just both really like plaid/gingham LOL!
Pre-event, we went to dinner, and our lovely server brought us complimentary champagne to celebrate my first book being in the bookstore <3. I don’t drink, but it was such a nice, kind and unexpected surprise!
Another awesome surprise was actually seeing ADORKABLE on the shelves!!!! <333 Yay!
We also got to see ADORKABLE on the shelves at Target for the first time ever, and that was just too much amazingness for one day!!!
Recently, I’ve been trying to outline my new book, yay, and emailing my cover designer about what will hopefully be my next release, hooray!
I’ll post more about that soon; there’s a lot to say lol, and I’m so excited (and nervous) to share! 🙂
I’ve also received some awesome messages from readers, and I just have to say: Thank you so much!!!! I absolutely love hearing from you! You have no idea how much your kind words and support means to me! It really lifts my spirits and pushes me to keep writing, so again: Thank you!!!
I hope you’re all well, bookworms, and have an awesome weekend!
Happy reading,
Cookie O’Gorman
