Unfortunately, I couldn’t attend this year *pout*, but we have fellow readers (and an author) in attendance and they are happy to keep us updated with the fun stuff!!
Author Caroline Hanson (of theΒ Valerie Dearborn Series) sent me these pics:



and fellow reader Sarah Flowers sent me this email a few days ago:
“Maryse,Β My sister and I are attending the RT Convention in Chicago this Saturday and I am nervous, anxious, excited & if I had a tail it would be wagging!!”
and lucky lucky me, it’s almost as if I’m there too, because she’s been sending pictures and updates all day!! Lots of great stuff here!! *squeeeeeee*

Then I received this very excited message: “Eeeek! In line to meet Anne Rice!! My heart is thumping away!”

When I asked if J.R. Ward was there, Sarah said “Yes, but I didn’t get to meet her π “. And when I asked who had the longest lines, she immediately replied “J.R. Ward!” (LOL!! Why doesn’t that surprise me!! π )


and one more that I HAD to put up ’cause we love cover models too!

There are tons more photos and updates where these came from and I will be continuing to add them right here in the discussion forum. If you were also at the event, and have your own photos and commentary you’d like to upload, join in, right here:Β https://talk.maryse.net/threads/rt-booklovers-convention-in-chicago.95/
