I can totally relate to the giddy rock star-esque feeling of meeting a favorite author and I love hearing them read their own words aloud. I have to say, meeting Andre Dubus III at Porter Square books will forever be a highlight - he was SO warm and welcoming, taking time to speak with everyone...and then hugging almost everyone as they left his table. Junot Diaz was a touch disappointing to me when I saw him a few years back, unfortunately. I still love the man's writing (and will eventually read his newest) but he struck me as a bit arrogant and "holier than thou" when talking with the audience at Brattle Theater...and that always rubs me the wrong way. Finally, I LOVE that you're doing book titles as your tables. How fun! Wishing you a great, wonderful wedding day and a fabulous honeymoon! This might be one of my favorite posts you’ve ever written.

All have been pretty much exactly as I expected them to be from their writing. So far my only disappointment has been in my own awkwardness. I never know what to say when it's my turn to go up at a signing!
