In the words of Kyle 1 - I'm Back!

I am back from Comic Con 2007! It was long trip. San Diego was warm and humid. I know this is my bookmobile blog, but I was on vacation and I have semi-library book things I can talk about. So, here it is.

There was a paranormal romance panel with six different authors: Laurell K. Hamilton, Jeanne Stein, Laura Anne Gilman, Carrie Vaughn, Marjorie Liu, and Samantha Sommersby.

I got my picture taken with Marjorie Liu! She is one of my favorite authors.

I also had books signed by Carrie Vaughn (We talked music) and Laura Anne Gilman (We talked tentacles). Laura Anne Gilman signing my book!

I came home with a huge bag of books. It was awesome! And I would like to thank the Luna/Gold Eagle/Silhouette (Harlequin) booth. They were super nice. And I found out from Mel Odom how to tell which Rogue Angel books are written by which author. (They are published under the pen name of Alex Archer, but are actually written by Mel Odom, and Victor Milan, and possibly someone else.) On the copyright page, Gold Eagle gives special thanks to the real author. So now you know. Grand Central Publishing was also really great. They were really interested in the library and talking with us. They even gave my coworker freebies to give away to her teen patrons.

Where to go next . . . I met the creators of Unshelved, library comics at their best. Maybe there will be more bookmobile stories?

On an unrelated note, Mori Chack, creator of Gloomy Bear, drew me a picture! I can make it related to books, just watch me! His designer toy has been featured in two books: Dot Dot Dash and I am Plastic.

And finally, I bought a tshirt befitting all library geeks: She blinded me with library science

Overall it was great, now I have to start reading and get back to bookmobile topics. Coming up a review of Books on Wheels and a tour of the vehicle.ps I am a librarian and I have pink hair!
