I forgot to post the neat photos I have of the cool Atlanta Marriott Marquis atrium. The first one is what you see when you're sitting down and looking up. The second is the view from one of the lower floors. Now you know why my friends and I felt like we were in a whale's belly after a few glasses of wine! ;-)
My haul of books from Atlanta finally arrived and although it's not as huge as LEIHA's and SU's (who must have enough to start their own L and S Library!), I'm very happy to boast about it here because the books are all signed to Gennita!

It's been years since I came home with a huge RWA pile of books. I used to send up to three boxes full of wonderful romances but found that I was just adding on to my TBR mountain, so the last few years, I hadn't stood in line for the free books, mostly buying them at the Literacy. I've forgotten what mad fun it was! It is one of the bestest things about going to RWA--lots and lots of author signings!
Of course, now I have find time to read my wonderful haul before giving them away to readers later this year. I'm sure they won't mind that some of these books were signed to Gennita. Heh.
Been catching up on my latest favorite show, Rock Star: Supernoval, and this performance wowed me...really, really beautiful unplugged version of REM's Losing My Religion (remember to click on ARROW to stay on this page):

LOL, well I did finally practice some self resraint at the very last signing! Mainly cause I couldn't carry anymore, it was physically impossible to put anymore books in our room.
Argh! That was a lot of books. I'm officially Jealous of you Jenn. LOL Hope you have fun reading your load. Read most of them, but saw a few I haven't so now I'll have to go out looking for the ones I've yet to consume.

Leiha--first attendant syndrome ;-). Everyone always goes home with BOXES of books!!! Hope you'll attend another one. Oh wait, your NEW JOB SHOULD ENSURE THAT! Bwahahaha.
Athena,
There were so many more that I could have stood in line for, but it would simply take the whole day! I love the books I get from RWA and really enjoy talking to all the authors, published and unpublished.
I only sent A box of books home but could have easily sent 3 large boxes like Su because there were so many FAB authors there! I have been trying to get my TBR Mountain under control so that gave me some restraint but barely! Now if I could just figure out which one to read first (decisions, decisions)and then find the time to read them all--life would be soooo good! "-)
Read Megan's Mark first. First book I ever read that contained sex scenes like this. Very Intense! Hero is very alpha as you would expect. Enjoy!

Oh, Virginia Kantra is my new author to watch. I loved Close-Up (which I got at last years RWA) and I just finished her new book, Home Before Midnight, over the weekend. That woman can write. Phew.
Enjoy your haul!
