Janet Evanovich
>> Tuesday, July 27, 2010
I got to meet Janet Evanovich.
Jealous? No need to be, don't even know who she is.
Except that my Dad desperately needed me to go meet her and get her latest book signed.
He was cashing in on his Father's Day present.
So I go.
Meet a crazy older lady (while waiting for Janet Evanovich to sign my book) who finds it necessary to tell me her entire life story.
Nope, not kidding.
Facts I have learned about a complete stranger.
(While I wait to get a book signed from an author I don't know at all.)
1. She's met Nicholas Sparks 20 million times.
2. The signings for Nicholas Sparks are different from Janet Evanovich.
3. She took her Mom to see a Nicholas Sparks movie.
4. She took her Mom to see another Nicholas Sparks movie.
5. She especially liked Nights in Rodanthe (by Nicholas Sparks, of course.)
6. Her Mom passed away before she could see the latest Nicholas Sparks movie.
("The Last Song", the one with Miley Cyrus in it..so she reminded me.)
7. Janet Evanovich does things differently at her book signings.
8. Nicholas Sparks personalizes at his book signings.
9. She's met Nicholas Sparks at a book signing.
So, see the pattern?
Yep, she repeated herself that much during our 3 hour wait in line.
Ya know what she suckered me into doing?
Taking her book up with me to get signed.
because..
10. She has arthritis.
11. Her knee hurts.
12. She can't take her pain meds yet.
13. My number in line is better than hers.
Mine: 110
Hers: 543,345,456 (obviously not exaggerating)
