Yesterday, along with some fellow book bloggers, I had the pleasure of having lunch with visiting author Elana Johnson, and the ladies of Simon & Schuster’s marketing department. We met in midtown Manhattan at Bill’s Bar & Burger for lunch, and to chat about Elana’s upcoming dystopian YA novel, Possession
.
Possession has been on my Goodreads TBR list for ages, so I was totally excited to meet Elana and learn more about her book. The seven of us sampled milkshakes and appetizers (the toasted marshmallow milkshake is to die for! I’m not even a big milkshake fan, but I want another asap!) while we discussed Possession, Elana’s writing habits, upcoming events like BEA, and some of our favorite 2011 reads.
Everyone was so nice, and I’m so happy I was able to catch Elana while she was in town:
Elana and I with Possession!

When I left, I passed by ice skaters at Rockefeller Center. It was 60 degrees yesterday!
We had talked about The Strand at lunch too, so that led to me stopping by once again on my way home.
I’m reading Possession
now, and am already totally sucked in to Vi’s world after just a few pages! Hopefully I’ll have a review up sometime next week. : )
Thanks again to Simon & Schuster and Elana for the amazing lunch, and Possession ARC!
