The second book event I attended during my big trip in February was the Lovestruck Tour featuring Robin Constantine (The Promise of Amazing), Megan Miranda (Fracture), Megan Shepherd (The Madman's Daughter), and Kasie West (Pivot Point). I attended the tour stop at the Little Shop of Stories in Decatur (aka Atlanta), Georgia, which means I also got to see Lauren Morrill (Being Sloane Jacobs), who I met at last year's Dark Days of Winter Tour, and I also got to finally meet one of my favorite blogger friends, Aly of My Heart Hearts Books!
I was a little late to the signing because I had an eye appointment in Knoxville, TN, at 2, and this thing started at 7. ZERO extra time, but luckily my appointment went quickly, and traffic was good. I did allow myself a 5 minute stop at the Chattanooga McKays, but I was kind of disappointed that the books were so much more expensive than the Knoxville one. I understand why new fiction is worth more, but I'm sorry. It's a used bookstore; I'm not paying $18 for a used book, even if it's brand-new and in good condition. But I digress.The traffic gods were with me, and I made it about 5 minutes after they started so it was right into the Q&A after I ran upstairs (I seriously didn't miss anything. I could hear them blurbing their books as I bought a few downstairs). As such, I was a little less organized than usual, but I had already created the document on my tablet to take notes. However, as you'll notice, I did not keep track of the order everyone answered, which I usually do. Instead, I listed the authors alphabetically. Please don't stone me. :P As I was formatting this post, I was able to piece some of them together in the correct order based on the authors' answers.
me with Aly!
