This is more so I can perhaps give the bookstores some sense of what to expect/order/etc than for my own self-aggrandizement. Regardless, I didn't put a "no" option on the 'are you attending' because I didn't figure that'd be very helpful, since most of my 600+ friends list do not live in Seattle and Fairbanks. :)

buy books there

stand fifteen feet away for an hour, then chicken out and run off before introducing myself

If I'm buying books, I hope:

the first book in any given series will be available

3(10.3%)

the most recent book in any given series will be available

1(3.4%)

all the books in all the series will be available

1(3.4%)

let's get real. it's a bookstore. If I'm missing any of Catie's books I'll probably buy them, but I'll be lucky to get out of the store without buying five other books too.

17(58.6%)

I am glad there's a ticky box option even if I'm not going to either of the signings:

I'd be there if I wasn't washing my hair that day...on the other side of the world....

Hope you get to enjoy it lots.

I just had a bottle of wine. I take no responsibility for my answers. :)

I just finished a coffee, and I still take no responsibility for my answer. :)

I think you're both completely responsible for your answers, and silly. :)

When your ego ebbs at some point, Miss Catie, please take note of these people begging you to come see them because you're going to be on the same continent. I think that's pretty darned cool. :)

I've noticed that. It's a little surreal. :)

If I weren't on the other side of the stinking continent. I should just mail you bookplates to sign.

I will amend my answers to clarify that by "me" I really mean my mom (which is why it's only Maybe and not a OMFGYES!) since she lives in Fairbanks. I have also sent her copies of your books with orders to read them (mission: Make her a fangirl), and asked her nicely to buy Walking Dead for the signing. :) So she may just buy the one, or may show up with a stack so long as you are cool with it. Also, just to note, she ranks seriously high up on the awesome mom list.

If she wishes to haul a whole pile over, I don't mind at all. I can't imagine there'll be so many people that everybody can't get whatever they bring signed. I'm not, after all, Neil Gaiman. :)

And Neil Gaiman is not you! (I love you both.)

Well, yes, but the point was I'm not likely to pull 500 people and have to limit them to one signed item apiece. :)

I know, and MY point was that you may not now (who knows) but you WILL. So THERE. :)

You = Amazing

I will let her know, thanks very much!

*snarfle* That's awesome that you recognize and acknowledge this tendency.

Bookstore accident!

Well, humans are silly creatures who do things like that. :)
