First, the winner of a signed copy of DRAMARAMA by E. Lockhart is JESSICA LOVE.
Next, better late than never and with apologies for my (typical) lack of picture-taking, here are a few "Guiness Book" experiences from BEA 2011:1. Heaviest Arc - WHY WE BROKE UP by Daniel Handler (aka that Lemony dude) & Maira Kalman (aka awesome artist chic). Boy that paper is fancy or maybe it's DH's signature that makes it so weighty! Look out for a giveaway of this one, soon!
2. Best Invented Word - "Kick-assery" with credit to Teen Author Carnival panelist/Angelfire author Courtney Allison Moulton.
3. Ultimate Swag Bags - a two-way tie:
 |
| Cutest-adopted by Batman as a bunny accessory |
 |
| Most colorful |
4. Fangirliest (perhaps inventing my own word here) Moment - meeting romance author Anna DeStefano whose lecture on revision at the Surrey International Writers Conference (CA) a few years back was A HUGE HELP to me as I was writing/revising Audition. You seriously would not believe how much (or how long) I gushed. BTW, she was super-nice!
5. Yummiest Fun - Dinner with fellow Bookanistas Michelle Hodkin, Matt Blackstone, Kirsten Hubbard, Shana Silver and Gretchen McNeil. (Sadly, they are ALL younger than me. Sighs.)
