R.A. Salvatore Book Signing

This Friday (yesterday, the 17th) in Pasadena, R.A. Salvatore hit up Southern California on his book tour for his two latest books: The Pirate King and The Stowaway. The Pirate King is the second book in the latest Drizzt trilogy (Transitions) and The Stowaway is a Young Adult book that R.A. Salvatore (on right) co-authored with his son Geno Salvatore (on left). As both of these books came out this month, I haven't had a chance to read/review them so you can look forward to that. But the book singing was great. Bob (R.A.) and Geno did a great intro and talked about their work together on this project and what they have upcoming. Then they opened up for a few questions (which was interesting to hear what people asked) and then finished up with the book signing. I brought 3 books to be signed and Amanda let me buy The Stowaway there to be signed as well (thanks love for your support). Since Amanda doesn't blog, she sometimes will put input into my comments or posts, so to her: Thank you for the love and support! She went out to the book signing with me and sat around with me and listened and took the great picture above. Thanks! Anyways, this is another official Nerd Alert brought to you by Scott H. Thanks for reading!
This was originally only for DVDs. Again, thank you Amanda for putting up with my Bibliophilia.

I love when movies get replaced by books. Now it's time to go buy a big cd case and throw away the DVD covers. Then you will have more room for books...

First of all I want to take full credit to introducing Scott to the wonders of R.A. Salvatore. I remember when he read his first book Sojourn.

Second I want to say that I am jealous of your picture with R.A. Salvatore. That is VERY cool man and I love IT!!!!!!!!!!!

Great bookshelf. Mama like, mama like.

I have to make a correction. It was Homeland that you read first, not Sojourn. Sorry bro

Scott H. said...

Thanks Chris, I was going to correct you as soon as I got a chance, but it's all good...Thanks for introducing me, he definitely is my favorite author.
TJ, I definitely like the "more books" idea, but Amanda probably wouldn't be too welcoming to that, she didn't want these here in the first place.
Jodi, I always give Amanda huge hugs and kisses so done and done...
