I found a huge collection of Calvin and Hobbes books. About 12 of them. I wanted to give them to Hannah and I was thinking about how awesome it was. I was hoping she wound just say thanks and blow them off.. After all, it’s Calvin and Hobbes, right?
So I walked in to her room and asked if she had any homework to do. She replied “no, why?” And I have them to her, and said, “they are Calvin and Hobbes.. ” and she replied incredulously “All of them??” And when I said yes she began crying a little. And so did I to be honest. It was really a pretty special exchange.

I just came across a note Hannah wrote me a little while ago.. I have been using it as a book mark, for obvious reasons.
heh.
That girl takes her books seriously.

Hannah and I drove out to Charleston this weekend for a neat event: The Charleston Young Adult Book Festival.
There were 40 authors there to sign their books! It was fun. The events were spread out on King street. You had to walk between the book store and the theater and the Charleston music hall. It was a bigger event than you would give a book fair credit for.
Hannah Took some books from her library to get signed. Here she is getting her “Hack the SAT” book signed by Eliot Schrefer
And here she is talking to “Pseudonymous Bosch” Author of “The name of this book is secret”. Hannah had this book since elementary school. Hannah requested that he wrote her name in morse code. He looked up at her, thought for a second and realized she was serious.. Smiled and knew he was bested, and said, “OK, how about if I write your name backward”.. It was a good interaction.
Here she is getting one of her books signed by Gitty Daneshavari. Gitty asked what Hannah was afraid of, and Hannah replied “snakes.. What? wait! I’m not afraid of snakes!, I WANT a snake! I’m afraid of fear!” And Gitty replied ” Ah yes! Phobophobia! Very nice. This was a good interaction too. Actually, they all were.
Here she is talking to Trenton Lee Stuart We had attended a forum with him and Pseudonymous earlier in he day.
Over all it was a good day! We stopped at Grandpa Bob’s house and had Dinner with Bob and Anne. Christine was there with the youngest cousin Ethan. Ethan was giving Hannah fits! Chasing her around and bugging her. We all thought it was hilarious, certainly because of the karma/payback factor.

An inquiring mind wanted to know some titles:

Hannah is going to get some undue attention on this blog for a little while, for obvious reasons.. I will try to transfer facebook stuff here as much as possible of Rockwell and Melinda.
Anyway.. we visited the library tonight. Here is the typical place I find Hannah if I leave her alone for any length of time. It’s a sign she is done harvesting books.
And here is the typical harvest. Now, I don’t know about you, but my normal visit to the library rarely nets more than a book or two. These are due the Sept 8th. History says half of them will be read by that time.

I took a picture of hannah’s Ahfgan just for posterity
Here is a picture of melinda’s too..
I wanted Rockwell to show off his new missing tooth. Rockwell wanted to show off one of the books we read tonight. If you cant see the title, here is a link.. hehehh. Book Cover
I think Cousin Erik has one of these books too unless he disposed of it. It is probably hidden up on a shelf somewhere… heheh.
If you would like one, or one like it.. you can find them at Little Democrats
