Today I want to Barnes and Noble.

Let's have a picture/video post, shall we?

First, here is me stalking Eyes Like Stars by Lisa Mantchev:




After I filmed that, I played Spot the Debs, which is exactly what it sounds like.

Here is TMI by Sarah Quigley, face out and wonderful:



Here is Secrets of Truth and Beauty by Megan Frazer. I bought this one- so excited to read it!


Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler on the shelves (there were more in the front display):


Here is The Demon's Lexicon by Sarah Rees Brennan among MANY AWESOME BOOKS.


Here is an extremely blurry picture where you can see Eyes Like Stars by Lisa Mantchev and Prada and Prejudice by Mandy Hubbard.



Here is Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler, Wings by Aprilynne Pike, The Forests of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan.


Fairy Tale by Cyn Balog had PRIME placement. It was near books by a bunch of awesome people (and some bestselling authors :o), and this little display is right next to the beginning of the Teen section and on the archway to the kids/middle grade section. PRIME PLACEMENT, I tell you.


I also played the game "Before and After" with a couple Debs books.

Here is Prada and Prejudice by Mandy Hubbard before:


And here it is after:


Here is Fairy Tale by Cyn Balog before:


And here it is after:




After I played Before and After, I played "Spot the Other Awesome People!"


Here is a bad picture of Lovestruck Summer by Melissa Walker:


Here are Nothing but Ghosts by Beth Kephart AND The Dust of 100 Dogs by AS King. Oh, and DAVID LEVITHAN books on the bottom shelf.



Here's the Canterwood Crest books by Jessica Burkhart.


And here is a fabulous Geek shelf containing Geek High, Band Geek Love, Geektasic, The Geek Girl's Guide to Cheerleading (DEB BOOK!), Art Geeks and Prom Queens, The Queen Geek Social Club, and Geek Magnet.


As you can tell from the above picture, my B&N is very cool, despite its huge Twilight displays.

And here is a picture of Flowers in the Attic on the "What's Hot" display near the register.

I like to think that Taren and Steph had a small role in making VC Andrews hot again.

Today at the bookstore I bought:
  • Fairy Tale by Cyn Balog
  • Eyes Like Stars by Lisa Mantchev
  • Secrets of Truth and Beauty by Megan Frazer
  • Blue Moon by Alyson Noel (I am QUOTED in this one!!!! ZOMG EXCITING.)
  • Behind the Bit by Jessica Burkhart
  • Killer by Sara Shepard
  • Dairy Queen by Catherine Gilbert Murdock
I was supposed to talk about author websites today (HEY KAREN KINCY!) but I will tomorrow instead. xD I was too lazy to do that today, but I'm working on that post now.

  7. Dear Frenetic Reader:

    That would be the first time I've seen (almost) NBG in a store.

    Thank you for the thrill!

  8. Wow, that's a lot of bookspotting!

    I see ALONG FOR THE RIDE in about half of those pictures. Guess they have many copies and can spread them out all over the place. :)

  10. OMG! OMG! OMG!
    Thank you SO much for this! Geek Girl's Guide's pub date was moved up from July to May to be included in a "geek promotion" but no one was ever able to tell us what the promo was and we never heard anything more about it until yesterday. And then today you have a picture. Yay!

  11. Fun!
    A while back I mentioned that the first person to see my book in the wild, I would send a copy to -- and this means you win. Since you already bought it, I can send you something else or if you want a 2nd copy for a giveaway or something -- just let me know! Email me at megan @ meganfrazer.com.
