I participate in your blog every week, over here sometimes and other places every once in a while :-) <br /><br />As for book signings; I've never seen an author at a bookstore. Of course because I live in a small town, the only bookstore I would go in was our Christian one & that closed two summers ago. I did go to our county fair a few years ago and there was an author sitting at a table. She looked so lonely so I went over to talk to her. Now mind you, she wrote in secular fantasy books, which is not my genre. BUT, I did have a nice time talking to her. Even though she wrote books I would never read, she seemed very friendly and outgoing. I asked her a little bit about her writing and a few questions that she was happy to answer. It was really fun & I hope I brought a smile to her face at least. <br /><br />I had to laugh at some of your observations, like this for example: "Did you know there were some customers who never turned their head as they walked by, totally absorbed by a stand of dictionaries to their left?"....haha!! And food, yeah, food always draws folks...even if they aren't there to talk to you :-) <br /><br />Thanks for the fun post & recipe. I'll have to copy this one down for myself and make one time. I like cookies!!! Thank you also for the gift card giveaway. <br /><br />Blessings Patricia!Trixi https://www.blogger.com/profile/03116805265841796307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641599238951031625.post-30350857609350621562017-10-11T18:18:41.572-07:002017-10-11T18:18:41.572-07:00Mary, that's a really good idea...and I have d...Mary, that's a really good idea...and I have done that at library signings.
