If you read my post about the Book Group Expo, then you know that Trish and I met Garth Stein, author of The Art of Racing in the Rain. In fact, we had dinner with him (and Joshua Henkin), not that I’m name dropping or gloating or anything like that. Okay, so maybe I am…but there’s a point to this story!
So, are you sitting down? Because this next part is so exciting (okay, it was exciting for Trish and me)…Garth Stein wrote a guest post for Book Club Girl about his experience at Book Group Expo. And he mentioned Trish and me. By name (I told you I answer to softdrink). With links to our blogs.
Dude, is that not the coolest thing? Ever?
And if that doesn’t convince you to attend the Book Group Expo next year, I don’t know what will.
that is so cool!!!! you are super sweet and nice, I agree
She forgot to mention how funny you are thoguh! Maybe you didn’t tell her any of your book jokes from the read-a-thon.
You are famous now!
I know! I read that the other day and it really made me regret not going. I’m still pouting.
Okay, so now you’re going to be nationally-recognized book blogger for the West Coast. Does that mean you’ll forget your Slow Travel constituency? Oh, well, the lure of the bright (book)lights is hard to resist.
When I read Garth’s guest post on BCG I was grinning ear-to-ear for you.
Is Book Group Expo in San Jose every year, or does the venue change?
I actually saw his guest post and your names! That is so exciting!
I don’t care how far away it is. I REALLY want to go to this one day!
