Same again!! When I got home, I was texting my partner and my friend with so many exclamation points!! 😊

(Only downside is I forgot my mask at home—of course, not long after I cleaned out the old mask clutter from my car, so no extras. Reminder to self to throw a backup pack in the car!)

And I had such a wonderful time chatting with three other fans of Seanan’s work—I think it was 10pm by the time we finally left the sidewalk outside the store. ❤️ @alwaysbeyondhope.bsky.social @lurker123.bsky.social @slightlymadcrafter.bsky.social it was great to meet you!!

And shoutout to Towne Book Center—it’s not local to me alas, but their events look super cool (including the SFF book club)!

(And thanks to them for letting me buy a ticket just for the signing, since I’d already bought S&L elsewhere—making a mental note to buy a book from them in the future!)

And thank you for your generosity in signing so many books, and giving me the SNM/TIS pins (which I didn’t think I’d be able to get anymore!) and the adorable sticker sheet *and* sticker sheets to send to two Toby fans who got Silver and Lead from stores that weren’t doing the pre-order bonus.

I’m heading there after work, I’m so excited!

I only got the e-book of Silver & Lead (and plan to get the paperback), but I saw the stickers and I love them so much.

Will it be possible to buy just the stickers at the signing event, or are they only for folks who bought the hardcover?
