I managed to find the time to attend the May 19th stop on the Summer Lovin' tour, and I'm so glad that I did! The lovely Zoe from Zoe's Book Review's was moderating, and there's was a nicely sized group readers in attendance (including Nancy of Ravenous Readers, Katie of Twirly Reads, and likely other people I didn't get a chance to talk to since I was in a rush).
I managed to get a few clips of each author speaking. But, my camera is getting a bit old, so there's some extra noise and the image quality is only decent (I'm sorry it isn't better!):
Accidentally cut off Morgan Matson...
All six authors!
The book signing begins...
Fun Facts I Didn't Catch On Camera
* Sarah Ockler uses tarot cards quite a lot. Also, she's apparently a total master at using spreadsheets to plan her books.* Jessi Kirby was arrested in the middle of class during high school by a police officer (who happened to be her uncle). Her mom put him up to it, though.
* Author Stacey Jay stopped by, and she was rocking some killer boots (my battery died, so I couldn't snap a pic)
And honestly, I probably forgot all of the other fun stuff, Sunday was a crazy day for me. If you live near the last two tour stops, you should definitely visit these ladies! I wish I could have stuck around for a bit longer, it was a great event!
You are so lucky you got to see the Summer Lovin' Tour. How fun! I would have loved to see Kimberly Derting, Jessi Kirby, Morgan Matson, and Sarah Ockler all in the same room! Too bad I live in PA. Thanks for sharing this with us!
ReplyDeleteI was definitely lucky that they ended up stopping at Copperfield's - it was an easy trip to go see them.
DeleteHope you get see all of the authors at some point in the future! :)
Fun. I love reports like this.
ReplyDeleteIt's always amazing to meet an author and learn something cool offbeat and new about them.
Thanks for sharing.
I'm always a fan of recaps too. I rarely go to book signings, so it's nice to be able to read or see small snippets from other bloggers!
DeleteI was so sad to miss this one, but I had a million things going on that day!! It would have been great to meet you!
ReplyDeleteAw! That's too bad that you were not able make it! Hopefully we'll get to meet up at a future event :)
DeleteAhhh! So jealous! I love Suzanne Young so I really wish I could have gone to this tour. That Jessi Kirby getting arrested story is hilarious. lol
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Jessi-Kirby-getting-arrested story really was hilarious. I wish my camera hadn't of shut off while she was telling it!
