Thanks for posting!! It sounds like you guys had a great time, and I love reading about people who had the chance to see their favorite authors =)
What is very strange is that the more I read about MWT's reading interests, the more perplexed I am that I ever fell in love with her books. I mean, don't get me wrong--they're awesome and my favorite and Megan's awesome etc, etc, but aside from a love of Diana Wynne Jones, we have really different reading tastes. For example, she said she liked Lament and Ballad better than Shiver, but I loved Shiver and couldn't even get past 30 pages of Lament, I thought it was that bad. And then in a previous post many moons ago, she talked about how she didn't love fairy tales when she was younger, but I devoured those things. I suppose I shouldn't just assume that a favorite author madly loves the same books, but it's just a bit funny how things turn out. =)
