Saturday I was invited to The Southern California Independent Booksellers Association (SCIBA) Authors Fest and I had a ball!!! It was like Christmas and my birthday all wrapped into one.
At 5pm-ish James (the owner of Esowon Bookstore), Jill (friend of James) and I showed up at the amazing Queen Mary in Long Beach, Ca. The ship was decked out for Halloween and on the fourth floor deck was the a room full of books and a dinning room where we had a great dinner. The event was like a mini BEA and there were free books everywhere. The authors were there to sign some of them too! And of course I have a few that I added to my e-bookshelf. So many books!!

I also got a few bags to haul all of these goodies to James' car with. Happily, I made everything fit into 3 bags! James had 4 and Jill just one. And can you believe I have more to tell you about? I was wondering around iTunes and came across a free audiobook. Yes Free! Now how many free audiobooks do you think are on iTunes? I know that is why I snatched it up.

And my window shopping on iTunes turned into window shopping in iBooks. And yes I picked up a few free books from there too.
