Readers and Ritas Event

Hello, my fellow readers! I am sorry it's been so long since I last posted. Things have been crazy the past few weeks with the 'Readers and Ritas' event and then of course Thanksgiving. I hope you all had a nice holiday with your family and the ones you love!

The 'Readers and Ritas' event was a blast!! I had such a great time meeting the authors. They were all very friendly and fun to be around. I especially enjoyed meeting Michele Bardsley, Louisa Edwards, Kristen Painter, Roxanne St. Claire, Nikki Duncan, and Marie Bostwick (to name a few). I spent a lot of my time with Marie Bostwick knitting. I met her Friday night and mentioned I was reading her novel "A Single Thread", which is about quilting however told her it inspired me to learn to knit and how I contacted my Grandma to teach me over the holiday. Marie pulled out a knitting project she had in her purse and taught me right then and there. The next day I sat down with her and she had an extra set of knitting needles and some yarn. It completely blew me away how thoughtful that was. So I spent most of the weekend knitting and hanging out with Marie Bostwick! It was an absolute treat and something I will never forget. I now have the knitting bug and have since knitted a complete scarf for myself and I'm working on one for my husband. I am having such a fun time with it!!

Fresh Fiction knows how to put on a party and I'm looking forward to next year's event!!

Stay tuned...
