Recap: Summer Lovin' Tour Stop at Copperfield's Books


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!

  1. 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!

  2. Fun. I love reports like this.
    It's always amazing to meet an author and learn something cool offbeat and new about them.
    Thanks for sharing.

    1. 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!
