Fablehaven

...is a book we've kept up on. Fantastic series, we recommend it to anyone who likes fantasy books. The fifth and final book came out about a week ago and we finished it a few days ago. We're kind of sad the series has ended, especially since we feel there was more he could have done with it. But we keep hoping that he will address the series again. Last night he was at the Lehi Costco signing copies. We waited in line for about ten minutes and then I decided to investigate just how long the line was...it was about an hour and a half long. We didn't have time to wait since we all hadn't had dinner and Craig needed to get to bed early for work the next morning. So we decided that just getting a glimpse of him would be good enough. Here are the spoils of our adventure:

And here's the man of the hour, Brandon Mull


Here's how the picture actually looked...
this was as close as we could get without feeling creepy...

We did NOT get to meet him, but hope to write a letter to or email him expressing our appreciation for his books...maybe we'll see him shopping in Costco or Walmart one of these days...wishful thinking...

omgosh - so I saw the author of fablehaven in a news story. Before the last book was released he found out about one of his biggest fans, an 11-ish year old boy who was at childrens hospital in Salt Lake. The little boy was very sick and his family and doctors didn't think he would live long enough for the release of the 5th book. SOOO (this is where my tears begin!) the author called him personally and told him what happened in the last book, and asked the boy to keep his secret. Happy ending - the boy defied the odds and lived to see the release of the 5th book. i love it!

So fun! Too bad you didn't get to meet him! Now that he lives where he does you just might! ;) Love the series too! Looking forward to reading the last of them!

And... more importantly... my grandson is sure adorable! ;)
