Thanks, Lisa!
Books + cupcakes + lisa_schroeder = a fun evening at Vroman's Bookstore in Pasadena.
As if finally meeting Lisa (and new Facebook friend Alyson Beecher) last night wasn't enough, the owner of a local bakery, Polkatots (www.PolkatotsCupcakes.com), put up a white cupcake tier that looked a lot like the one on the cover of Lisa's MG novel, It's Raining Cupcakes. 15 yummy different flavors. I tried a chocolate one, of course, and then strawberry (well, they were small).
Lisa talked about her journey to becoming a published author, read a page from her book, and answered everyone's questions. She also had a trivia contest and awarded three prizes, including a cupcake necklace (to a girl) and cupcake earrings (to a young boy...gift for Mom, perhaps).
So it was a good start to July. And tomorrow's the annual Independence Day parade, quite possibly my favorite event of the year.
Happy 4th, everyone!
