I met Shannon Hale!! A couple Saturdays ago I found out she was in Indy and was going to do a book signing, so you'd better believe I was there along with a good friend and her daughter. Oh man was I giddy. I LOVE Shannon Hale's books. For those of you who are clueless as to what her books are, she's written Austenland, The Actor and a Housewife, Midnight in Austenland, The Goose Girl, The Princess Academy, and much more. I just love the way she writes. She's so funny.
I pretty much told her I loved her...like three times. She showed me some pictures on her laptop that she had taken while they were filming Austenland in England, because yes, they are making it into a movie! She wanted to hold Derrick, but he wasn't having it. He doesn't know how lucky he is. I was pretty jealous. haha. jk. kinda.
Anyways, I was pretty much on cloud nine that day, and the next. Still am. Can you tell I like her books? I really do feel like if she lived by me we could be good friends. :)
I got her to autograph my very worn Austenland, and then I bought Midnight in Austenland for her to sign for me, and The Goose Girl and The Princess Academy for her to sign for Megan, because I think all girls should read them.
What a great time.
We're looking at the pictures on her computer.
See? What'd I tell you...Best Friends!
