Maggie Stiefvater Signing (featuring Brenna Yovanoff and Tessa Gratton) (Monday July 28th, 2014)

Hey Everyone!!

So last Monday, I went to another awesome book event!!

I got the amazing opportunity to meet Maggie Stiefvater!!






It was another crazy fun night at The Grove in Los Angeles last Monday evening.

Maggie Stiefvater was HILARIOUS!!  There is honestly no other way to describe her!  I was pretty kneeling over from laughter the entire time!  Unfortunately we weren't allowed to record so I wasn't able to do an actual recording of the entire discussion like I try to do at all the signings I go to.

But instead I can show you the many faces of Maggie Stiefvater... :)








She told some of the funniest stories about her life!


Anyway, after the discussion about her book Sinner, as well as some of the inspiration from her previous novels, it Q&A time! And while I know we weren't allowed to record, I did sneak a recording of my question to Maggie and her answer...I swear that is all I recorded!!!


After the Q&A was signing time of course!!


I got my author pic with Maggie luckily! :)


And then of course my books signed...






PLUS Maggie has two guest star authors along with her on this stop!

Brenna Yovanoff, the author of Paper Valentine, AND Tessa Gratton, the author of The Lost Sun (The United States of Asgard)!

The cute little blonde sitting is Tessa Gratton :)

And sitting next to Maggie is Brenna Yovanoff!


I had both sign their bookmarks :)



I had also three sign my Kindle Cover:


Maggie said it was an honor to sign under Laurie Halse Anderson :).

So my overall haul for the evening...



OH and I almost forgot, my friend and I got limited edition Book jackets for Sinner!!!!

Which she ended up giving me hers too, so guess what??? One of these lovely babies can belong to you, because it's GIVEAWAY TIME!!!

Marriage Vacation by Pauline Turner Brooks (aka Jo Piazza)

Hey Everyone! I finished another book!  I bought this one along with Shrill , when I found an Amazon Books store in NYC last week! I cannot believe I already finished both in less than a week, when I hadn't finished a single book since last July! From Goodreads : In season four of Darren Star's hit TV Land series Younger , the editors of Empirical Press are shocked and deeply moved when they read Marriage Vacation , an autobiographical novel by the publisher's estranged wife, Pauline Turner Brooks.  Knowing the book will cause a sensation, they decide they must publish it.  Now you can read what the hype is about. To find herself...she might lose everything. By all appearances, Kate Carmichael had the perfect life: two adorable daughters, a pre-war town house on the Upper East Side, and a husband who ran one of the most successful publishing companies in New York.  But when Kate attends the wedding of two of her oldest friends, and reconnect...

The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick

I saw the movie Hugo (directed by Martin Scorsese) right before the New Year.  Let me back track, and let you know that usually I am NOT a fan of Oscar movies.  If I'm being honest, I find them to be boring.  However, this year has seemed to bring quite a few more exceptions than normal.  Among those are: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 , The Help , and Hugo.   I fell in love with Hugo .  I thought it so beautifully done.  The music, the characters, the story.  I found myself crying even at points that wouldn't necessarily make you cry.  I honestly, didn't know the movie was based on a book; but when I found out at the end, I knew I had to read it. The winner of the Children's Caldecott Award, The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick is nothing like anything I've ever read.  Normally, when I read I imagine the story that I am reading  unfolding in my head like a movie; but with The Invention of Hugo ...

The Hunger Games Should be BANNED!!

Okay, let me begin by saying, you may find my title misleading...but guess what? It got you to read this post! :) PLEASE CONTINUE READING!! I really think something needs to be known!  The Hunger Games should NOT be allowed in elementary schools!!  In fact, I don't even think it should be allowed in middle school either! This is the whole point to this post! I read the series last year, and enjoyed them.  I thought the story was definitely very original.  I am going to be making a few lists in this post, and here is my first... Pros about The Hunger Games : -original story -great characters -details were great...sometimes a bit too much actually -metaphorically speaking, the message I got out of this book is people are selfish and that they would do anything to survive, and while this isn't a great message, I think it is true about people (at least quite a bit around the world...NOT all!! but quite a few) Cons about The Hunger Games : -I think my #1 c...
