September 28th, 2010 22:12

September 28th, 2010 22:53

September 29th, 2010 00:10
You sir, are marvelous. I was all geared up to drive out to Dallas but instead you’re just the next town over–barely a twenty minute drive!
September 29th, 2010 00:18
Is Sunday the only day you will be at NYCC?
That’s the one day I may not be able to go. :/ My luck!
Well, I hope I can make it.
September 29th, 2010 00:41
Pittsburgh! I can’t wait to see you Scott! I saw you last year in DC and was prepared to come see you in Raleigh. I’ve told my parents that I’m dropping out to stalk you. JUST KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I will follow you everywhere!
September 29th, 2010 01:59

September 29th, 2010 02:31

September 29th, 2010 02:36
Minnesota is so neglected =(
September 29th, 2010 02:56
Why do you never come to the awesome state with all of these beautiful mountains??????
Random facts of the day:
Before WWII there were 22 Hitlers in the phonebook and 0 afterwords.
The electric chair was invented by a dentist.
Bird watching is considered a hazardous hobby.
Hippomontrosesquipedaliphobia is the fear of long words.
Whatcha think?????
September 29th, 2010 03:06

September 29th, 2010 03:29

September 29th, 2010 04:08

September 29th, 2010 04:27
THANK YOU FOR GOING TO RALEIGH ON THE 22ND! i know you don’t exactly choose, but i’d thought i’d thank you anyway!
i can’t wait!!!
September 29th, 2010 04:33
i have google mapped the bookstore so i already know how long it takes to get there from my house! did i ever tell you nothing happens in Raleigh?
September 29th, 2010 04:52
No California still…
September 29th, 2010 05:45
It was previously posted a Birmingham stop on Oct. 19, has that been canceled?
September 29th, 2010 06:36
I am soooo dissapointed that you aren’t coming to the land of mountains and hiking. (Colorado)
I am sooo excited for Behemoth though, I have it on hold at my library. Guess what?????? I have the only hold on it, I’m such a nerd.
September 29th, 2010 07:02
I’m with Lizzy; wish you were coming SOMEWHERE near California. Sigh.
But you get to go to France??? Fun!
And thank you @Bookworm for the facts!
September 29th, 2010 07:03
Wohoo, the earlier version of the list said that you were going to Raleigh that Saturday and I already had plans for that day but I think I can make the Friday visit (and bring some friends along too)
September 29th, 2010 07:56
No Wisconsin is right! You’re going to Naperville AGAIN?! You were just there earlier this year! Who organizes your schedules?? I want a word with them!
On a serious note (though that was semi-serious), what the hell is in Pennsylvania that you’re THERE three times?
Gotta drop a Texas trip and go to good ol’ Wisconsin. Wisconsin: We care.
September 29th, 2010 18:06
Scott, I’ve already told Natalie that she’ll get to see you for her birthday. And her school librarian wanted to come down to Birmingham, too! And I would tell all my writer friends in Birmingham to show up, too! Please don’t diss Alabama! I’m begging you!
September 29th, 2010 19:44
holy crap, you’re actually coming to michigan!!! too bad it’s pretty much on the other side of the state from me…if i can somehow figure out how to go, you will see me there!!!!
September 29th, 2010 20:36
It looks like there WILL be a Birmingham, AL thing of some kind!
Your pleas have been heard.
September 29th, 2010 22:07
BOO! I’m completely bummed you’re not coming to California, specifically southern….
but have a wonderful trip and enjoy meeting new fans!
I’ll just read behemoth and keep it safe until you can visit us and sign it
September 30th, 2010 00:56
Paris ? really ? When ? (The book-festival of Montreuil is in December right ? Is there another festival or it’s just for the plaisure to come in France ? =D
September 30th, 2010 03:00
Ahhhhh! Noooooo! There is an unacceptable lack of Tennessee on that list!
September 30th, 2010 03:03
Specifically Nashville, TN. Where the only interesting people are in the music industry.
September 30th, 2010 03:43
You need to come to NE
wait nm no one ever wants to come to NE i live here and i dont even want to be here!!!!!!!!!!!
September 30th, 2010 04:17
Hurray! You’re coming to Houston!
September 30th, 2010 04:41
D: No Philadelphia!
September 30th, 2010 04:41
Random facts of the day:
Jimmy Carter was the first president born in a hospital.
There are more fatal car accidents in July than in any other month.
You are more likely to get attacked by a cow, than a shark.
September 30th, 2010 04:51
Blisters, haha! Wish you would come to California at one point, (preferably the Bay Area*cough*) but I know you have a busy schedule. Maybe I’ll catch you for the Goliath tour, eh?
September 30th, 2010 05:25
Ahhh…. you’re going to be in NOLA…. so close to me!! But I can’t get there in 30 minutes…. I teach until 3:30 then have duties….. and I am a longterm sub, so I can’t get a sub for a sub….. Awww…. I’m a bit bummed by this, seeing as you will be so close…. Alas. I am glad you get to come to our neck of the woods anyway! Enjoy your time down here! (=
September 30th, 2010 05:28
What happened to Chicago? I have to take a TRAIN to get to Naperville, and the Metra isn’t covered by my UPass, so I probably won’t be able to go since I can’t drive.
Next time, go to Barbara’s Books! 
Nice little indie bookstore (not hipster, independent lol).
September 30th, 2010 06:25
YES!!! THANK YOU!!! And I thought everything in my life has started sucking…
September 30th, 2010 06:27
Basically, you coming makes it suck less. Word things I sometimes can’t.
OH YEAH BHAM’S BACK BABY!
September 30th, 2010 08:13
I am SO excited to see you’re coming somewhere relatively close to me. I hope I can make it this Tuesday to Exton.
I have a a question that I hope you or someone who’s been to one of these tours can answer for me. What goes on at these tours? I’ve never been to one but I hope I can this time. Do you generally just talk about your books? Do you do autographs? Can we buy things?
September 30th, 2010 09:19
Please come to San Francisco, CA! You have tons of fans here!
September 30th, 2010 10:25
@Susan I’ve never been to one of Scott-la’s tours stops (grr!) but I’ve been to a few others. Usually the author talks a bit about his or her newest book (the one the tour is for), sometimes they do a reading from it, and they answer questions from the audience. Then they sign stuff- sometimes specifically books, sometimes anything- depends on them.
This is a basic book signing, but sometimes authors will do other things, too- like John Green and David Levithan did a reader’s theatre, etc.
Hope this helps- and I hope you enjoy meeting Scott-la! I’m so jealous!!!
September 30th, 2010 17:22
Happy Dance!!!
October 1st, 2010 00:58
Yay, thank you Kailey-wa. So my friend and I might be coming and this will honestly make my life.
October 1st, 2010 06:46
Georgia!!! Awesome!
October 1st, 2010 21:45
Just to second Maddy’s request, SF would love to see you on this tour. Borderlands would be a great fit.
October 1st, 2010 23:34
Aw, no California. I’m in Sacramento, but I’m willing to second (third, forth?) the plea for San Francisco!
In any case, I’m super-excited for Behemoth. Good luck on your tours!
October 2nd, 2010 00:32
Woah, Cincinnati?!?!? I’m SO going down there!!!! You HAVE to come to the Great Lakes area some day! I’d be SO stoked to see you!! Behemoth is gonna be beast (No pun intended.) Good luck!
October 2nd, 2010 05:01
I’m so excited that you’re coming to Provo. It’s awesome because we almost never get any non-local authors visiting here, let alone YA authors. It’s a little sad though because the libraries here finally decided to be awesome by doing special events for teens when I’m no longer a teen. I really would have loved something like this 5 years ago when I was 16.
Anyway, I’m still going since adults can come as well. I hear teens get priority seating though so I might have to bring a friend who’s 19 along so I can say I was their ride and snag a good seat myself. Muahaha.
October 2nd, 2010 20:10
Just so you know Quail Ridge is an amazing bookstore. My mom used to take me there on my birthday. I love that place and have so many great memories there. I sorta wish I could be there but oh well I’m sure that Carnegie Library is great too!!!
October 4th, 2010 03:22
@Smizily-
I’m in Sacramento too, I just figured we would have a better chance with San Francisco!
October 5th, 2010 08:26
If this works, I am the first person (maybe) to make up a fake website and email. WHERE IS WASHINGTON ON THAT LIST? Oh well, maybe when Goliath comes out.
October 5th, 2010 08:28
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! IT WORKED!!!
November 22nd, 2010 00:18
This made me smile and hopefully after your last post it will do the same for you:
Multitasking means screwing up several things at once.
