Swag bag contained: Graham Moore's ARC of
The Sherlockian, Laurie R. King's
Locked Rooms, Rita Lakin's
Getting Old is Tres Dangereux and Meg Gardiner's
The Memory Collector. Plus magazines - RT Book Review, Mystery Scene, The Strand, Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery magazine, Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, and the Baker Street Journal. And oodles of bookmarks. And volunteers (worked a couple hours in registration and had a blast) received an ARC of Dennis Lehane's
Moonlight Mile.
After attending panels with some of these authors, headed right down to the book room and purchased their books. Sasscer Hill walked up while I was looking at books, fixed a book so it displayed better on the shelf and handed me her card. Of course, I just had to buy her book. :) I picked up Cara Black's first novel "Murder in the Marais" while exploring Book Passages at the Port of San Francisco.
Wow! Look at that swag bag -- how cool is that? And all those great books and magazines.
ReplyDeleteGreat goodies! I think it's so fun to meet authors and to be around people that love to read and talk books!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you had this great literary experience. I heard of the awards announced at Bouchercon and I thought, "Hey, I know someone who's there." I'll bet it was fun to be around all those book peeople.
