Scholastic Brunch

I thought I wasn't going to this event because the Breakfast event from 7-9 was sold out and the brunch started at 10:30, when Quick Picks meetings were supposed to meet. However, we blazed through the agenda on Saturday, and Gregory Lum allowed that we could start late in order to attend the Brunch (I think he wanted to go too!). It was so lovely that it was being held at our hotel, where we also hold the QP meetings, so we had an easy time of getting there and to the meeting on time. We were served Tea, water, salad, and a sun dried tomato quiche with a danish and a cupcake for dessert. Sadly, we had to leave before the presentation started, which was a salute to their Chicken House Imprint, which has been around for 10 years now. We were able to pick up some nice SWAG, which Scholastic is always generous to provide. It was a complete teaser, as the bag was a Mockingjay bag, which everyone is anticipating being released. No ARC's on this one. I've already got mine pre-ordered from Amazon. I was relieved to hear that my friend, Lalitha, who attended the early morning breakfast,did not receive Mockingjay either. If she had, I might have committed a crime, or at least locked her in the bathroom of our hotel room, and stayed up all night reading.
