The other night I went to see the FIERCE READS authors here in Memphis at The Booksellers of Laurelwood. Let me tell you...it was so much fun! I even walked away with some blue nail polish just for asking a question.
(Jessica is 2nd from the left had every one laughing)
They all were a bunch of great ladies. I had to take my 6 yr old daughter with me and see thought Jessica Brody (UNREMEMBERED) was the cute one.
I wish I had gotten her picture with Jessica now that I think about it. Darn!
(Anna, second from the right, was going on about how hot her male lead character was)
Anna Banks (author of OF POSIDEN and OF TRITON) was a hoot in a very subdued way. I just adored her dry sense of humor.
(Leigh is on the right)
Leigh (SHADOW AND BONE and SIEGE AND STORM) got us all laughing when she talked about someone making her books into fanfic and apparently it is, how should I put this...more adult? Emmy tried to get her to tell us the name on said fanfic and poor Leigh got to blushing so bad.
(Emmy is one the left and was great to listen to.)
I think my favorite was Emmy (MONUMENT 14 and MONUMENT 14:SKY ON FIRE). She just seemed so down to earth and was so sweet. Unfortunately I think seeing my daughter, she got a little homesick for her son. :(
But I am really looking forward to reading her books
Ok, I have a bunch of signed swag to give out that each of the authors signed. So please fill out the rafflecopter and I will pick a winner next week. US addresses only please.
How fun!! I wish there were more author events near me! I would love to go! <3 Thanks for sharing your signed swag!!
ReplyDeleteI tried luring the Fierce Reads ladies with chocolate since I live near Hershey PA. Maybe in the Fall Tour. I've read that fanfic. Yeah adult.
ReplyDeleteOMG I know exactly what Leigh is talking about, in terms of Shadow and Bone and more adult. That was hilarious! Huge credit to the two authors of the fan fiction :D
ReplyDeleteYou looked like you had an awesome time! I wish the Fierce Reads tour stopped anywhere near me, but alas, I won't see these ladies. I did get to go to a YAGB workshop ((Erin Bowman, Susan Dennard, Kat Zhang, Sarah J. Maas, and guest star only at Baltimore's workshop, Jodi Meadows), and I'm giving away swag from that event.
Thank you so much for the giveaway!
who won?
ReplyDeleteI will be picking a winner this weekend sometime. I got to find the swag (been moving and it is somewhere in my apartment)
Deletebut I don't usually announce winners to my giveaways anymore.
