Janet Evanovich was in Las Vegas this Friday doing a book signing for 12 Sharp at the Reading Room at Mandalay Bay. I'd been really pumped about this. I even asked for that afternoon off b/c it started at 3:30 and I wanted to get there early! Low and behold I look at my calendar and I realize that I'm a complete dork! I'd scheduled an origami program for Friday afternoon @ my library so I wouldn't #1 be able to take the afternoon off and #2 wouldn't be able to get to Mandalay Bay until around 6. I was completely bummed! I'd been talking about going for weeks. So I called the Reading Room and reserved my books, and they told me I could pick them up after 6, as there was a huge line and they didn't think she'd be finished until then. So after work and an amazing origami class (20 kids, 3 different designs the cat/dog, the jumping frog, and a cute angelfish), I went to pick up my books. Amazingly enough Janet was still hard at work signing books. She doesn't stop till the last fan is satisfied. There were still at least a two hundred people still in line! So I picked up my books and stood in line myself. I had a great time chatting with a nice lady named Chris and other fans. Alex, Janet's daughter was working the line, passing out I (heart) Morelli and I (heart) Ranger, being gracious and kind. I was greedy and took 2 of each, as one of my good friends in Omaha, is also a die hard fan. I personally am a Ranger girl myself, but hey souvenirs are a good thing! I got in line at 5:45, my books were signed by 7:30, and there were still about 35-50 people in line, late-comers like me :) I could tell that Janet's hand was really bothering her, I'm sure her arm was put on ice as soon as she finished! I thought it was really cool of her to continue on. Thanks so much Janet! You rock!
