Recently, I got the chance to see five authors. Tuesday, I went to Morgan Matson, Suzanne Young, and Siobhan Vivian's signing, and on Thursday, I met Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff again! Today, I am here to talk about my wonderful experience at the signings and I hope you enjoy.

Morgan Matson, Suzanne Young, and Siobhan Vivian

When Morgan announced that she was going to be touring, I immediately hoped that she would have a Northern California tour date, and she did! With Suzanne and Siobhan as well, which was awesome because I adored Suzanne's The Program trilogy, and I had only read one of Siobhan's book but enjoyed it! Even better, the location she was having her signing at was so close to me compared to other signings I have been to. So the event started at 7, and I left to go to the event at around 5:30. (Yes, that is how close the event as to me. Legit like half an hour.) On the way, I actually called the Target close by to the Barnes and Noble where the event was held out to figure out whether they would have the Target exclusive edition on their shelves because, well I really wanted the deleted scenes.

En route to the signing!

Turns out that they only sold that online, how did I find that out? Calling Target, being put on hold for a total of 15 minutes and going through three different Target associates while doing so. *pouts* Thanks Target.


So, we (Rin and I) arrived at the bookstore around 6 and immediately scrambled around the bookstore in search of the event area and finally found it in the children's section. Luckily, we there were no seats taken yet (getting there first to an event: my talent) so Rin and I snagged some front row seats, which really was no big deal because the event wasn't that big. Maybe about twenty people so there were only about two small rows of chairs, which is great because I do love events with less people. It makes it so much more intimate.

After putting my stuff down, I went ahead and bought my books (after struggling a while to find them) and immediately when to a discreet location to take pictures of the book because the last thing I needed was people judging me. Seeing as though we had a little time to spare before the event started, Rin and I went to go check out the DAISO next to Barnes and Noble. Now, if you don't know DAISO is like Asian dollar store, except better. Everything there basically costs $1.50 and they have pretty useful (and cute) stuff there! I picked up a few things and a box of Pocky due to my lack of food at the hour.

Finally got my copy of The Unexpected Everything!

We then returned back to the bookstore about 10 minutes before the event started and I was surprised to see Ardis right next to my seat! I haven't seen her since October when I went to see Leigh Bardugo and it was a really nice surprise because I really didn't expect to see her there. We chatted a little about things and it was so great to see her again because I do always love talking to bloggers and they always have such awesome things to say.

So, about 10 past 7, Morgan, Suzanne, and Siobhan finally came out and all three of them looked so stunning! All of them rocked such cute heels and had the cutest outfits. They started off the event by each reading a passage from their book and all three of them went with a theme for their passages. This time, it was when the protagonist first meets or talks about their love interest. It was really nice to hear from them and I loved hearing passages of their books being read by them.

After that, they asked each other questions, like how their writing process works. That was really interesting and I really enjoyed hearing about that. They then took some questions from the audience and duh! Yes, I did ask Morgan a Hamilton related question. How could I not? Then, Morgan did a raffle to give away some prizes! She handed everyone a raffle ticket and gave away two t-shirts and a mixtape CD. Did ya girl win any prizes? You bet she did!

After the raffle, they then moved to the signing table and set out all their swag and things. Since there weren't too many people at the signing, I decided to just wait in line, as it wasn't that bad. I finally got to the table and grabbed a few pins from Siobhan and they're so cute! Oh my lord the pin is just so beautiful. I finally got to Suzanne and basically struggled to get my books out of the bag. I mean, I had 4 of them and they were basically all hardcover. I talked to her a little about writing and told her I was excited to read The Epidemic. A little bummed I totally forgot to get a picture with her but I definitely will do that next time I see her.

After that, I waited a bit before getting my book signed my Morgan. This was my third time seeing her so at this point I had no idea what I was going to ask her. I told her that that was my third time seeing her and she remembered me! Which is awesome because *tries to calm* one of my favorite authors knows me and recognizes me! She then handed me my raffle prize, the mixtape CD, and we took some pictures together. She brought her Polaroid and took pictures with everyone, which was so awesome because I love Polaroids and getting to take one with her was so awesome. She signed it and it looked awesome.

Then after that, I said thank you and left! I am really happy I got the chance to meet these three wonderful authors and I look forward to meeting them again! It was also awesome seeing Ardis again.

Amie Kaufman, Jay Kristoff, and Tim Floreen

I had a fabulous time at the Barnes and Noble these two events were held at and I also had a great time at both events.
