Hello Unforgettable Bloggers and Readers!!!
L'Shana Tova to my fellow Jews!
I hope everyone is enjoying their life at the moment.
My life is semi-awesome right now. I just received my first speaking role in a play at my high school and I am busy with senior year of high school activities. I am so excited to finally act in a play, but that means I will not be able to blog as often and comment on amazing blog posts as much as I would like for the next few months. I hope to still blog and comment sporadically. (I love you guys.)
I hope to go back to blogging more often once Thanksgiving comes along.

Thanks Brigid for a marvelous Launch Party and the following sweet autograph!
I cannot wait for her autograph in my copy Spirit.
I hope to go back to blogging more often once Thanksgiving comes along.

I had a blast this Saturday going to Brigid Kemmerer's marvelous Spark Launch Party in Ellicot City, Maryland. I was pleasantly surprised when I learned that Brigid remembered me from her Storm Launch Party back in April. There were two girls behind me who made fabulous elemental related T-shirts, a fantastic reading by Brigid on the scene where Gabriel rescues the little girl from a fire and Brigid's witty replies to the fantastic questions that were asked. I am so glad to share that my favorite character from Storm, Casper, has a huge role in Spirit!!!

Congratulations in getting a role in your high school play! That's just awesome! And yay for meeting Brigid at Spark launch party! How I wish I live there in US so I can meet all these amazing authors. Haha! Good luck with the play, Rachel! Have fun! :)
ReplyDeleteOhhh, sometimes I wish I lived on your continent! I love that you got to enjoy yourself, I'm sure Brigid is just as fun as her books are. And yaaay for inside info on Spirit, we should send you to these things more often!
ReplyDeleteYou met Brigid! :D I've heard that she's such a wonderful person and I love seeing her interact with readers on GoodReads as well as she's just phenomenal, so I can't imagine how exciting it must have been to meet her! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're so lucky you're a senior, by the way, Rachel! I'm a junior at the moment and struggling to find time to study for SATs in between blogging and my AP Classes, but congratulation of your role in your school play and best of luck on those college applications! :D

Congrats on the speaking roll Rachel, that's so exciting! And what an amazing event to go to, I would love to meet Brigid in person, that series is quickly becoming one of my very favorites. I love Gabriel something fierce:) I'm definitely with you on wishing Spirit would appear out of thin air, it's going to be a long wait for that one!
ReplyDeleteI clearly live in the wrong part of the world! It sounds like it was a great event! Brigid has fast become on of my favourite authors now and I can't wait to get my hands on Spirit. I hope there will be early copies on NetGalley again!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Rachel. :)
Oh wow that is so awesome that you got to meet Brigid Rachel! I too agree with Sam that I should move to the U.S already as you have the best author events there! Thanks for the link up hun and congrats on the speaking role! Hope school doesn't get too chaotic and you still get the chance to tackle some great books! :)
ReplyDeleteSo cool! Wish I could have gone to that. Ellicott City used to my my old home town!
ReplyDeleteEEEEEEEEE! You got to meet Brigid! So maybe I'm just a *teensy* bit jealous :D I'm SO glad you had fun! And congrats on the role in the play! I LOVED being involved in our school productions, and eeee! I hope you have fun! ♥
ReplyDeleteOmg, so I sat right next to you?! I had no idea!
ReplyDeleteAw, how fun that you got to see Brigid again and attend the launch party! She is such a hoot and I just love her books, too. :)
ReplyDeleteWe miss seeing you around as much, Rachel, but we'll be here when you have more time to blog again. Cheers!

Shana Tova Umetukah, Rachel. :) I didn't know you were Jewish- we share another thing in common, then. :)
ReplyDeleteI really should read Spark, since so many readers adore it! And it must have been really fun to see Brigid at the launch party. I would love to see those awesome- sounding t-shirts too, haha. ;)
We will miss you whenever you're on one of your sporadic hiatuses, darling. :)
Yay, what a great event! I have Spark but still am yet to read it ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting on my blog! Since I'm still trying to understand this blog world it meant a lot to me. And the Brigid Spark launch was amazing glad you liked it as well. Oh, and congrats on your first speaking role!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Rachel! I love meeting authors and going to events! You always get more insight into the book and characters. Nice that she remembered you. Thanks for referencing The Readers Den for the reviews! :)
ReplyDeleteYOU MET BRIGID KEMMERER!! I'm a little disappointed you didn't try to extract her brain or at least steal her laptop for the manuscript of Spirit, HOWEVER, I am so happy for you! It sounds like you had a blast and OF COURSE she'd remember you, you're kinda awesome :D
ReplyDeleteAnd huge congrats on your role in your high school play!! You're going to ROCK the part :D
