1st book signing

Yesterday I went to my first book signing and it was with an author I LOVE!!! It was so much fun to get some insight into the author and where her ideas for her books came from. I just loved it!!! She is so adorable and had such a great personality. The author is Carrie Ryan who writes The Forest of Hand and Teeth, The Dead Tossed-Waves and The Dark and Hollow Places. Even though I did like all the books, The Dead-Tossed Waves was my most favorite book!!! I think its a must read!! But you do have to read all the books to really appreciate the story. The books are about the acopolyse of zombies and each book is told from a different persons point of view but they are all intertwined, so good!!!

After we were able to get our books signed and I even asked for a picture with her because she is awesome :)

Me and Carrie Ryan with her most recent book

I also had her sign my nook... cause I read books on it!!! and James Dashner of the mazerunner trilogy was also there (he live in Utah, didn't know that) and I had him sign my nook too (too bad its smearing). I haven't read the mazerunner books yet and I felt stupid telling him that but my friend is dropping off the books so that when I see him again I will have them read... ha ha!!

My Love of reading is continually growing. I never thought that I would turn into a book worm but I totally have. After meeting some amazing authors reading intrigues me even more. I look forward to many more book signings in the future!!!!

Palm Springs...

This last week I went to Palm Springs with my cousins Chelsey and Lacey to visit my grandparents. Its not like me to not take pictures but for some reason this trip I didn't take pictures. I mostly just enjoyed the break in life. All I did was lay out by the pool in the beautiful 80 degree weather. I didn't have a worry in the world... Every night I would go out to dinner with the grandparents to yummy fabulous places!!! I went to the new Apple store on El Paseo 3 times!!! and even spent a morning window shopping there :) I ate at yummy Panera Bread (which just opened there) went on a golf cart ride... Got some fresh Lemons (instead of Grapefruit) and enjoyed the company of my grandparents and cousins. Life was great and Im sad to be home :( Palm Springs in probably my most favorite place in the world!!!!!!!


I did get one picture in the pool that Chelsey took with her phone


Oh and the best part, we ran into Trace Adkins in the Palm Springs airport!!!!!!!!!!!! I was super excited and of course I had to get a picture then :) He was in a rush but was nice enough to pose with us and talk for a minute!!! So fun :) You should all be jealous!!
