Big Deal = Big Post

My sister Elisha told me a while back that Stephanie Meyer was coming to Tempe May 13th for The Host book tour. [if you don't already know who she is you probably won't care for the rest of this post]. So my sister gave me the number to call and pre-order my copy of The Host and a ticket to meet Stephanie!I literally would have missed the whole thing because I totally forgot until the day of, luckily i remember last minute. On her website she has pictures of people from her previous book tours wearing homemade Twilight shirts. Ever since I have wanted to sport one to represent what a Twi-hard I am. So this is my last minute T-shirt.
Lets face it... It's the truth!
The auditorium was PACKED with Stephanie Meyer's readers.
They were everywhere!!!
They were serving CUPCAKES. Oh yah! Believe it-

I went with my Two sisters, Elisha and Carli and Baby K of course!Elisha might be a bigger fan than I but it's too close to tell.

I mean, I was the one wearing the shirt... jk
So after all the fans filtered in Stephanie Meyer gave a little speech and answered some of the fans questions. It was pretty casual and laid back which i liked. I really enjoyed hearing more about how she though up The Host and it's characters because that book is seriously "different". After she was done talking they started the line for autographs which was done alphabetically by the Letter on each ticket. Kingston hooked me up with a shortcut to the front of the line. No seriously. I was just holding him and someone asked me if I wanted to be escorted to the front of the line. "let me think... um Yes Please!!!" So when I was done I went and took pictures of Carli and Elisha waiting in line. Suckers... jk I waited with them.
The girl can autograph like no other. I'm guessing at least 3000 -4000 books that night but prob more.
She was really nice for the 2 seconds I talked to her. She said how cute Kingston was and complimented my shirt. More than I would expect for someone who has to sign there name a billion times in one night.
Kingston was so sad to leave... hehe
I managed to get 5 books signed while i was there with Carli's help {thanx Car}. It was SO much fun. If she comes back on tour for Breaking Dawn I HIGHLY recommend going.
ps. I will be selling Twilight shirts on my whippy blog now since I had a bunch of request last night. I will probably come up with a few other designs first though.

I'm still jealous and your shirt is cute. Don't forget to send the book and do you want me to mail the money or bring it with me?

Hi Becki sweetie! Love the blog, love the shirt, love you!! So for my Mothers Day present to myself, when we were at Costco last week, I bought the book (the Host) and a bag of Dove chocolates, I loved my gifts, really from LaVerl! I just finsihed the Host and I liked it, not as well as the Twilight series, but I enjoy reading just about anything! Sci-fi is right up my alley! See ya Memorial day!!
