Linger Book Signing

That "thing" in the middle is one of the many paper cranes that were made for the signing.. I found it on the floor! I DIDN'T STEAL IT.

Last week, I found out that Maggie Stiefvater was actually coming to California! This was an opportunity  that I couldn’t miss! Especially since she was coming ALL the way from Virginia.

I left around 5:30 hoping to get a seat upfront, but boy was I WRONG. There were so many people at Borders.. I was shocked. Luckily for me, I got a seat on the fourth row thanks to a kind lady.

Here's a picture of the signing from where I'm sitting! (Maggie is NOT hiding from the camera. She was fixing her hair!)

After talking about the series and sharing a few stories, she answered a few questions then judged the fan art contest. I guess you can call singing art, because someone wrote and sang a song! (She won second place, BTW.) After looking at the amazing art the fans created, we finally got to get our books signed!

Maggie talking to one of her fans!

Yes, that's me. But I'm not showing my face this time..

I was also surprised that I wasn’t the youngest Stiefvater fan at the event. There were girls that looked about 8 or 9 that were at the signing! Yeah, I didn’t think girls that age read YA books either.

So anyway, I had a great time finally meeting Maggie and finally getting my hands on Linger! (Now I don’t have to wait for my turn at the library!) I’m so glad that I went because if I haven’t, you would have seen me all mopey and sad on Twitter.

Also, special thanks to my Grandpa who took me to the event because if it weren’t for him, I couldn’t have gone.
