Things I Learned at Wicked Book Weekend Giveaway

03/15/2014

Things I Learned at Wicked Book Weekend

Over 50 authors and over 300 fans gathered in Ft. Lauderdale for the 2nd annual Wicked Book Weekend. No matter if you came alone or in a group, everyone came away with new friends and amazing memories.
Print
Here are a few of the things I learned:
1) No matter how much I deal with them, I am still blown away when authors actually speak to me. But in my room? Holy shit. I’m still tongue tied when it comes to one-on-one conversation and keep chanting in my head “I’m not worthy!” over and over.
tumblr_mdluflwNYd1roo8c32
1969271_363509420458955_398334271_n
(Harper Sloan, Tessa Teevan, me, Melanie Codina IN MY ROOM, just the first of many!)

2) Authors look nothing like their photos. Next time, stalk their pages beforehand so you know who the fuck you are talking to.

hello_my_name_is_huh I got no idea!

3) An event is only as good as the volunteers, and I had an amazing group of them! There is no way any of this would have happened without them.  I had 2, Tara and Kerriann show up out of the blue, and they worked their asses off with all of the other awesome volunteers. And Lori Stern. Damn, that girl is a machine!

volunteers

4) Joanne Christenson
I’d marry her if I could.

1890410_698655253519711_248153727_o

5) This is the only place in the world I ever get to be Mistress Ana. And Fuck Book Friends will be my bitches, whores, subs, kitties and sluts, we even get sashes and tiaras.

IMG_3964

…and they grab my boob…

boobgrab

6) A hotel bar CAN run out of booze. Girls away from their husbands and kids for the weekend can sure party! And party a LOT.

7) If you yell ‘Penis & Vagina’ over a loud speaker on a booze cruise with 120 women (and 5 men), nobody will hear you, except the 15 year old you didn’t know was there.

8) Women are hungry, dammit. You need to serve FASTER!

9) Apparently Megan is OK with me riding her.

1891201_364280520381845_1878292741_n

10) Next time remember to get an author (all of them) and a volunteer picture, because both groups were amazing.

11) Expect the line for the half naked cover model to be a bit longer than the rest.

1959879_10203281564065586_551788396_n

12) Ask someone to show their boobs to win a prize, and they will. Ask someone to find a guy with a tattoo, and they will grab any strange guy, even an author’s husband, throw them over their shoulder and run on to the stage.

1964970_10203369842915480_1987765980_n

13) I should try to remember to get my own books signed at my events, there should be one perk, right? Or should have sent one of my whores around with it.

14) 8 Vibrators racing down a track can be loud, much slower than I thought, but still entertaining, especially when yelled over a megaphone.

15) Meeting the friends you have been talking to for months online in person and liking them just as much as you thought is awesome.

16) Everyone loves a strap-on goat.

1890993_10202893314801129_326706639_n

17) Vodka soaked gummy worms and gummy bears from Dawn Robertson are sticky, slippery little fuckers, yet 200 women and men will eat them off the same fork with no hesitation.

1544548_10201662445704486_962918614_nIMG_3985

 

18) If you don’t point out the gorgeous candy table to a bunch of drunk fuckers, they won’t even notice it.

IMG_3999

19) When the po po come to your room and find 50 drunk screaming women, they don’t know what to say. When you try to bribe them and ask them to take off their uniform and join the fun with a tiara on your head, they may not take your very seriously.

popo

20) When the room crawl moves to the pool, my husband will race around like a loon to make a gigantic jug of Sangria so that the 50 thirsty whores (who have 500 shots) won’t get rowdy. It didn’t work.

1932453_10203325711489244_1127917407_n

21) Harper Sloan is my soul mate. She just doesn’t know it.

22) Penny Reid is Superwoman. Seriously. She has the suit and everything. And she made a meme of me, so I have no choice but to love her.

1622313_226926930838057_1158540400_o-1

23) SM Donaldson has blackmail video of everything. Watch out for her.

24) There are too many pretty authors. I didn’t know we’d have more female cover models than male!

25) If you bring a coloring book of vaginas, make sure you have more flesh colored crayons, and for God’s sake, NEVER play Brown Eyed Girl!

Screen Shot 2014-03-15 at 1.37.23 AM

26) “Dawn Robertson’s Tits” and “Cooch Juice” can be the words of the night anywhere we go.

IMG_4018

27) Smuffins are pretty awesome. And authors know how to have fun and be silly. The more fun they were, the more we want to read them!

Screen Shot 2014-03-15 at 10.46.20 AM

28) NEVER tag people in photos from Wicked Book Weekend, and never, ever look at photos of yourself.

29) Never leave out any of the items from Wicked Book Weekend for your kids to find, especially the stuff from Harper Sloan.

30) If you work your ass off and don’t sleep for 6 months, it’s worth it to give so many people an amazing weekend.

 Screen Shot 2014-03-15 at 10.26.05 AM

Wicked Book Weekend was something I swore I’d never take on again. But after hearing so many people have an amazing time…I am looking at dates for the next one!

“Note to self: When you’re lucky enough to sit “Note to self: When you’re lucky enough to sit next to a very attractive woman on a long bus ride, maybe don’t bring up your mother so much, and probably don’t give an extremely detailed overview of why you’re a bad date.”

The first two books in this series by @carabastone were at the top of my 2021 Favorite list. Seatmate will be on the list for 2022. This made-for-audio book is best experienced with headphones. I really felt like I was eavesdropping on a real conversation, and it just made Seatmate by Cara Bastone another 5 star favorite.

Much Ado About You by Samantha Young is a booklove Much Ado About You by Samantha Young is a booklover’s fantasy romance. It was light, a little cheesy and predictable, but I still enjoyed listening to every word. Samantha did a fabulous job of transporting us to this little English town and falling for the townspeople and the bookstore. If you’re looking for a light and easy read that will keep you smiling, I think this would be a good one.

“You may think you’re dark,” I told him. “ “You may think you’re dark,” I told him. “And I’m finding you are. Dark like this.” I indicated the room with a sweep of my flute. “Edged in gossamer and crystal. Lit with fire. A beautiful cocoon where I feel safe, truly safe, for the first time in my life.”

Though it took me a long time to finally try, The Fantasyland Series by Kristen Ashley is one of my all-time favorite series. So I can’t tell you how excited I was to hear that Kit wrote another book in the series! I think Gossamer in the Darkness by @kristenashleybooks is enough to pull in the last holdouts who think they don’t want to read fantasy.

Meghan Quinn has always been a top 5 author for me Meghan Quinn has always been a top 5 author for me. But The Reunion was about 3 siblings fighting with each other while finding love. There were SIX narrators. I enjoyed the stories but the switching was a bit too much for me.

When I was 37, my 7 year old begged me daily for a When I was 37, my 7 year old begged me daily for a little brother (or sister). We obliged, but because of my age and I had lupus, the pregnancy was high-risk. At 17 weeks I had an amniocentesis. 2 weeks later we got the devastating news that our baby, the sibling my son was begging for, had some major genetic abnormalities, plus heart problems. If she survived the birth she would need multiple surgeries & would likely never leave the hospital. 

We made the most devastating decision to end the pregnancy. The baby we made FOR my son would just crush him. It would take me away from him. He would watch her suffer and be in pain. And how would we pay for it all?

Four months after, I became pregnant again with my wonderful son who is now 16.  Despite 8 years difference, he and his brother are best friends. They have both had a great life with a mom who was fully present for both of them.

I thank Roe v Wade every day that I was able to make that CHOICE. It was the most devastating, horrible decision we ever had to make. But it was the RIGHT CHOICE, both for that baby & my family. Plus, my son wouldn’t be here today if I hadn’t made that CHOICE. These decisions are NEVER easy. They are deeply personal and usually horrific. 

Until the government can pay to keep all these babies fed, clothed and homed. Until they can pay for medical bills and the parents to leave work, until they can provide for the needs of the babies women are forced to have, they need to stay out of our bodies. I’m scared for the future of all of our rights.

“It’s called hot flashes, Dean. Don’t judge “It’s called hot flashes, Dean. Don’t judge me.” 
“Oh, I’ll give you hot flashes.”

Nobody else but Tara Sivec can make me literally laugh out loud and bawl my eyes out at the same time. I look for books with older couples, so I’ve read a good number of them, but this portrayal actually felt the most real of any to me.
With This Flirt by @authortarasivec is my first 5++ star book of 2022!

When the author of your all-time favorite series r When the author of your all-time favorite series releases the first book from the male POV, you run to read it and hope it doesn’t ruin it for you. I’m happy to say @jfrostauthor just made me love Cat and Bones more. 

If you are a fan of Cat and Bones, or you just want to start a new series, I 100% recommend The Other Half of the Grave by Jeaniene Frost.

It was SO GREAT going back to Kristen Ashley’s F It was SO GREAT going back to Kristen Ashley’s Fantasyland world again! I tried to read as slow as possible because I just didn’t want to leave. Though the whole Fantasyland series is best read in order, Gossamer in the Darkness easily stands alone. You don’t have to like fantasy or regency to love this, you just have to love romance. I am so happy to have this as a new addition to one of my favorite series, and now I may have to go and listen to the entire series again.

@catherinecowlesauthor has a way of blending steamy romance, angst, suspense, family, found family, friendship, kids, and a whodunnit into something completely unique and special. Falling Embers may be my favorite yet.
