Cute and Quirky GoodFunTime

I was talking with Basically Amazing Ashley the other day about Magic Under Glass (after I was talking with Jaclyn Dolamore, but that's another story, and I am a tease, so I'm not going to tell you about that yet...).  Anywhoodle, it made me want to reread Magic Under Glass.  And, um, relate a silly little story with you.

Ahem.
In June, when I was at ALA, my friend Evie and I were weaving our way through the crowds of ravenous readers, and I just happened to glimpse a familiar face.  Jaclyn Dolamore*.  So I abruptly left Evie (sorry, Evie!), turned around, completely interrupted the conversation Jacklyn was in, tapped her on the shoulder and said "Magic Under Glass."  Not a question, just a Capt. Obvious statement to the author of said book.  She just looked at me for a second and nodded.  I said "High five!" and proceeded to do said thing.  I think all of the people that were around her (including Maggie Stiefvater, who gave me a look and laughed) thought I was crazy, but I just felt the need to share a high-five with her.  Her book made me happy, ya know?
And that was it.  I came, I high-fived, I went back to the abandoned Evie and went on with ALAing.

Thinking about that little scenario was part of what made me want to reread the book; just being back in that mindframe, just shortly after I'd read it, and feeling the need to high-five the author.  Like a total dork.

*If you've read my review of Magic Under Glass, you'll know why that face was familiar...

Anyway, I don't have the luxury of a quick reread at the moment, but that doesn't mean I can't share this CutenQuirkyGoodFunTime book trailer with you. And it doesn't mean you  can't go pick up a copy and let me live vicariously through you...
