When I took Eliza and Luke to the library for story time last week, I happened to notice that one of Cat's favorite authors, Jessica Day George, was coming to do a book discussion & signing later in the week. When I asked if tickets were available, they still had plenty, so I got two for Cat and me, and two for Cat's friend and her mom.
The event was a promo for the 3rd book in one of JDG's series, Thursdays with the Crown. Cat has been eagerly awaiting the arrival of this book, and when she finally got it she read it in less than 48 hours.
We had a great time listening to JDG talk about her experiences as an author and listening to her answer questions. Cat asked her what she likes to do for fun and she said she loves to go to the movies and eat popcorn with M&Ms mixed in. Later, when Cat got her book signed, she asked JDG if she thought any of her books would be turned into movies and JDG said one studio has approached her but nothing has come of it. Fingers crossed.
What an experience! Cat is so blessed to have such a good mom. Who knows, Cat may grow up to be a famous author herself.
ReplyDeletei love that Cat is having these experiences and learning to share them with friends. That's how we gather around us those people who can inspire us and uplift us when the daily grind becomes too routine. A good friend and a good conversation about a book is terrific medicine.
