Ok...They were among the first authors I thought of! Okay, honestly Dan Jones was but I knew I could not write a post JUST about him or he really is going to get an Internet restraining order, because I am sure that's a thing.<br /><br />But seriously, even Shakespeare, I was reading all of them by 6th grade (not that I totally understood Shakespeare in 6th grade, but I fell in love with his plays and I read and read and asked questions until I understood).<br /><br />Bernie is awesome. Just as awesome in person as he is in every video or interview you have ever seen. The venue was so packed that tons of people had to be turned away at the door, so being Bernie, he went outside FIRST and talked to all of those who could not get in. Such a genuine, caring guy. We are lucky to have him, and I am at least comforted that he has not given up on us!<br /><br />Also, yes, Dan Jones is fantastic. Not sure of your location, but his show about castles that I mentioned is on Netflix - both seasons. And as I am sure he is not reading the comments on my post here, he is super hot. It is very easy to get lost in his books and read them within a short period of time. The Plantagenets is my favorite, but all are so well-done and well-researched and I just can go on and on so I better stop now :)Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-8874604076521424572017-03-28T22:07:45.286-05:002017-03-28T22:07:45.286-05:00Also, good call on Roald Dahl.

I did not think we would even get into the venue, but not only did we make it in, we literally got the last open place next to the railing and the door he walked through to get to the stage. So we were the first people he saw when he came in, and the last he talked to walking out. I still can't believe it happened. Even now my daughter talks about it and says, "I was a little shy, but we got to meet Bernie!" And I love that she KNOWS who he is. Seeing her eyes as he walked toward us, she was in awe too!Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-80264652306667438982017-03-28T22:04:16.311-05:002017-03-28T22:04:16.311-05:00Yes!

I think it would be perfectly acceptable for you to have your own Anne adventures now, or perhaps when your kiddo(s?) are a little older and then they can play too and it will look like you are just acting out the book for them but really, it is for you, haha :)<br /><br />I about died. Never did I imagine I would get to meet Bernie Sanders. And then I called him Bernie instead of Senator Sanders and told him we loved him and how much we wished he was the nominee. Such a great moment in my life, even while I was ugly-crying :)Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-1016078704351291692017-03-28T22:00:39.597-05:002017-03-28T22:00:39.597-05:00RIGHT??!!

Once he got over the culture shock of the mockery that is being made of the English language today, he would be bombarded with so many questions, the poor guy wouldn't know what to think.<br /><br />And Bernie is the best :)Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-81873504850630292992017-03-28T21:59:33.466-05:002017-03-28T21:59:33.466-05:00It was seriously the second greatest day of my lif...It was seriously the second greatest day of my life (the first being of course when my daughter was born). We lucked out because we arrived kind of late to get in line and I was worried we would not get in, as it was all general admission and standing-only. But luckily we did and we got the last spot by the railing, right where he walked in. I about died. It was so amazing to hear him in person, and to hear that passion in his voice for yourself. I truly believe that he would have won had he been the nominee. The DNC has no one to blame but themselves. Time and again they were shown how unpopular Clinton was among Independents. Those people were crucial and she did nothing to earn their trust or their votes and it is so beyond frustrating because this "administration" is truly dangerous.<br /><br />I am glad you approve of the mixing possible and not-possible authors. I just loved Montgomery and Alcott so much as a child, those books are among the most dear to me now.<br /><br />I really hope I do get to meet Dan Jones some day! I am keeping a watch for his Templars book tour and if he is anywhere within a 500 miles radius, I'M THERE! :)Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-52562371342567906072017-03-28T21:53:57.351-05:002017-03-28T21:53:57.351-05:00I LOVE HER!

And then we could settle that darn debate over WHO he really is (I will always believe he is who we have thought all along, and not a member of the nobility in disguise.)
