Stephanie Perkins
Gayle Forman
Nina LaCour
Jess Rothenberg
The fearsome foursome started out the evening with a Q&A where they talked about their books, their life experiences, writing, and the future. All were charming and friendly. After the Q&A, we lined up to get our books signed.
-Love the shoes. Especially Stephanie’s boots.
I was lucky enough to be first in line for Stephanie and Gayle, so I got to chat with them, get my copies of If I Stay, Where She Went, Anna and the French Kiss, and Lola and the Boy Next Door signed and got my picture taken.
-Gayle, me, and Stephanie
Then I headed over to Nina and Jess. I haven’t read any of their books yet, but I definitely want to do so now.
-Jess, Me, and Nina
Just as fun as meeting the authors was spending the night with my blogging friend Julie of My 5 Monkeys. We had a lovely 90 minute drive each way (from Sacramento to Oakland) to the signing full of book talking, the best kind of conversation.
Ok, I may be just a little jealous! What an opportunity. I would LOVE to meet Gayle and Stephanie some day.
ReplyDeleteIt was a blast with you and meeting those authors

I'm so jealous!! Thanks for posting this :-) New follower...AGAIN! LOL. My first Feature & Follow was two weeks ago and I hit the GFC follow button then, but apparently the button had other ideas. I feel horrible now because it looked like I was crashing your meme. Anyway, problem fixed. So NOW I'm a new follower ;-)

ReplyDeleteOh yay, I was hoping you would post pictures! (Sorry for the very late comment on this post, btw). Gah, I'm super jealous that you got to meet all these ladies. What I wouldn't give to have authors stop by my neck of the woods...
