I don't even know where they all are, and I started having the authors sign something vague without my name, so I could give them to friends and family!</p> <p>Actually, that's what I enjoy most, I guess---I've given my nieces and nephews lots of signed children's books. And got my mom one from Judy Blume, which she loved. So spreading the author-signing love around is cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-any-signed-books#post-707754 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 11:43:32 +0000 rachiecakes 707754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few Jodi Piccoult's (my friend brought me to a few readings), Francesca Lia Block, Irvine Welsh, and Lauren Conrad (wanted to meet her, don't judge, haha). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-any-signed-books#post-707664 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 11:14:49 +0000 Freckles 707664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I love Bill Simmons!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-any-signed-books#post-706896 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 07:46:43 +0000 Bookish 706896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just one!
