Release-Day Party at 57th Street Books!

Here are some photos from my release-day party at 57th Street Books in Chicago—2 blocks from my home. It was a packed event (er, it turns out I have a lot of friends), and so much fun!

Mermaid, whale, and heart cookies by my daughter, Lydia.
Cupcakes (vanilla) of mermaids diving, also by Lydia
Graveyard cupcakes (chocolate), also by Lydia.
All book signings should be stacked with happy friends.
This is what pub day feels like, right there.
Standing room only. (Maybe because of the champagne and that beer keg?)
Reading.
Food by La Petite Folie.
More food!
Signing. (The bookstore sold 55 copies of MB.)
Three bloggers showed up and MADE MY DAY. This is Sarah A!

  1. What a bash! I was so glad to be there on your big day, Beth. Monstrous Beauty is well and truly launched.

  2. I'd say these photos pretty accurately represent what went down. Had a totally awesome time -- hope the tour's fun!

    1. Your eyes are peeking out in one of those photos, Alice! Thanks so much for making the trip down, and for your hilarious wrap-up of the party, which everyone should read here.
