I purchased this book at #Wordstock a couple weeks ago after having it on my to-read list for what seemed like forever. Really beautiful gems live within. The perfect book to get me out of my slump.

So I actually managed to come away from #Wordstock this Sat with LESS books than I got signed (I was VERY restrained...we also ran out of time and energy to spend too long in #Powells). The bottom 2 are signed by authors there, April Henry and Amber Keyser, and check it out, I got one of those ARCs USED in the store; it hasn‘t been released yet! Next time, me and @Acgamble88 must do the whole day in #Powells. Anyone else for a #Portland roadtrip?

That-Bookish-Hiker I have found a lot of arcs in the Powell‘s in downtown. I forgot my April Henry book at home so I couldn‘t get it signed. 😩 7y
kamoorephoto @That-Bookish-Hiker I couldn‘t make it to her talk, but I tried...I was racing around, although I had her other book with me. I picked the other one up in the store (I think she went in there and signed them all)... 7y
Acgamble88 I could camp out in Powell‘s for a week and still want more! 7y

kamoorephoto I just met Rene Denfeld at #Wordstock and she was very humble about the success of her novel as well as the obvious popularity on Goodreads! She seemed surprised at how well her novel was being received. Very nice lady 🙌 7y

This Mortal Coil | Emily Suvada

Meeting the author of one of my favorite books so far this year, Emily Suvada, was one of the highlights of #Wordstock #PDXBookfest and it was fabulous to have her recognize me from my unabashed ‘fangirling‘ (although she kindly called it support) on Twitter. I finished her book last night and can NOT wait until #2! I‘ll say it again: read this book! *Note how I‘m already looking tired at this point! I was up at 5am...🤔

Cinfhen Ha! Awesome ☺️ 7y

Just one of the amazing authors I met today, Julie C. Dao; the panel she was on with Emily Suvada and Fonda Lee was excellent, plus Julie graciously signed not one but THREE copies of her book for me. One for me, plus two for friends. She spoke about her writing process extensively, says she‘s a Hufflepuff and is keeping mum about the title of her 2nd book (although I know what it is) #Wordstock #PDXBookfest #Portland

That-Bookish-Hiker That was you in front of me in line waiting for Nina LaCour! Dang it! I should have said hi but I wasn‘t sure. 7y
kamoorephoto @That-Bookish-Hiker Nooo!! 7y

I went to #Wordstock and all I got was this incredible collection of poetry, important questions to consider from talented writers, meaningful conversations about Privilege with strangers, and random free things. Ugh! 💚 #PDXBookFest

My son Roman has had trouble believing that #LemonySnicket exists as a real person so this was the first photo that had to be taken today at #Wordstock #PDXBookfest... He was having fun with this one! PS. His real name is Daniel Handler, by the way, and he‘s hilarious.

bookloo My childhood favorite author!!! Lucky you! 7y

robinb @kamoorephoto the expression on BOTH your faces is spot-on...priceless. 7y
That-Bookish-Hiker I love this! I was the first in line to have him sign and I should have gotten something like this. 7y
kamoorephoto @robinb Isn‘t it great?! He was so funny... 7y
Alicia Great photo!!! Also he went to my high school!! 😱😱😱 7y
HiddenGemBooks You met Lemony Snicket in-person!? 😍 I‘m still not convinced he‘s a real human.. I‘m shell shocked. He‘s incredibly funny in books and looks like it in real life too. 7y

So THIS is the stack of books I am taking to #Wordstock tomorrow that I will be attempting to get signed (and that‘s not including ones I might buy 🙀)! I even bought a little cheapo hand dolly because I can‘t carry them all (I have MS and I know it will kill me to do so). The bottom 3 include 2 for friends. I hope I get to see everyone! Getting up to drive down at 6am because we couldn‘t go as planned tonight 😫 #Portland

robinb Good luck and safe travels! 7y
Texreader Good luck!!!! Let us know your progress! Hope it‘s 100%!! 7y

That-Bookish-Hiker @kamoorephoto I wanted to get Forest of a Thousand Laterns but wasn‘t sure I‘d like it. Have you read it? 7y
kamoorephoto @That-Bookish-Hiker I have started it, but I think it‘s a book to savor, so I decided not to rush it before the festival... the language is very rich and filled with imagery. I need to take more time with it after the festival. @Clwojick Yes! Our first stop!! Yes. We our hoping so.... 7y

This Mortal Coil | Emily Suvada

You guys! I can‘t put this down now I‘ve started it. I breezed through 105 pages that I insanely decided to start at about 1am in the morning, and since the author #EmilySuvada (who responded to my email just to send in my preorder receipt) will be at #Wordstock on Saturday, I have become just TOO excited. She used to be a data scientist and it shows. This is in the #YA section but it‘s not ‘fluffy‘, it‘s cerebral. And look at that cover!

GondorGirl I'm excited that you're enjoying this one... It's on my watch list. 7y
kamoorephoto @GondorGirl and anyone else... JUST finished this!!! SO SO SO SO good!! There‘s going to be a number 2... wow. Couldn‘t put it down. 7y
