I was so excited to go to the Jenny Hand and Morgan Matson signing! I love both their books and I literally haven't been to a signing at a bookstore in a really long time. This signing was held at Once Upon a Time in the Glendale area.
While we waited for the author to get there (their plane was delayed a little bit) the shop girls did a raffle a To All the Boys I've Loved Before journal and two ARCs of some books that they had in the store. So they drew three names and the first one was mine and the third one was my mom! So I basically won the journal and one of the ARCs! So we were definitely having a good time!
When the authors finally arrived they jumped right into the conversation with the audience and they both read from their books. Jenny read the letter that Lara Jean wrote to Peter and she also told us that To All the Boys I've Loved Before is semi-autobiographical because she used to write letters to boys she likes as a way to get over them except they were never sent. Morgan wrote Since You've Been Gone off of her childhood best friend because she actually sent Morgan a list of things to do while she was in France one summer.
I always enjoy listening to all the questions that the audience asks because I would never think to ask some of the questions that they come up with but I love listening to all the answers and gaining a little bit of insight into the authors and their book that I would not have gotten otherwise.
The authors got right into the signing and were just so so nice. It always shocks me that even though I haven't seen them in over a year they always recognize my face and ask if they've seen me before. And they totally complimented my kitty shoes and asked me where I got them! I just had such a good time! And that's Thuy talking to Morgan Matson!
Now I can't wait to go to my next signing even though I don't know when that is. I had such a great time and I love any chance I get to see Thuy, Kimberly and Alethea! Love my blogger friends!
