Meeting Authors: Amy Brecount White Book Launch Party (and Giveaway)

I was lucky enough to be invited to Amy Brecount White's book launch party for FORGET-HER-NOTS. I've met authors before at signings and conventions, but this was the first book launch party I've ever been to. It was a nice event located at a museum in DC. It was pretty fancy. Guests were able to wander through the floor and see the art exhibits. There were flowers placed on tables with a blurb about their meanings, in honor of the book. Amy signed books and read an excerpt. It was a wonderful event.



"Something - some new power - is blooming inside Laurel. She can use flowers to do things. Like bringing back lost memories. Or helping friends ace tests. Or making people fall in love.

Laurel suspects her newfound ability has something to do with a family secret, one that her mother meant to share with Laurel when the time was right. But then time ran out.

Clues and signs and secret messages seem to be all around Laurel at Avondale School, where her mother had also boarded as a student. Can Laurel piece together everything quickly enough to control her power, which is growing more potent everyday? Or will she set the stage for the most lovestruck, infamous prom in the history of the school?"
