Book Signing with Lenore Appelhans, Megan Shepherd, Victoria Schwab, Beth Revis & Meagan Spooner

Hello, dear readers! I've been teasing you with this post for almost a week now. I promised a giveaway, and it's at the end of this post. On Saturday, I drove three and a half hours up to Asheville, NC from my home in Atlanta to attend this signing. Why did I go so far? Because Lenore and I are besties and she totally made me, or something like that. Anyway, it was well worth it, even though it was snowing on Sunday morning, which freaked out my poor Georgia peach self with images of black ice and impassable mountains.

Their books, so that you can go check out their delightful debuts (or, in Beth Revis' case, third book).

• The Madman's Daughter (The Madman's Daughter #1) - Megan Shepherd (my review)
• The Archived (The Archived #1) - Victoria Schwab (my review)
• Level 2 (The Memory Chronicles #1) - Lenore Appelhans (my review)
• Shades of Earth (Across the Universe #3) - Beth Revis (my review)
• Skylark (Skylark #1) - Meagan Spooner

I failed to be a good blogger and take notes, so I'm pretty much just going to show you pictures accompanied by the occasional factoid. Be aware that I'm not Lenore's stalker, but she was the only one that I could take photos of easily from my seat, so I sort of became her personal paparazzi.

Megan Shepherd explains The Madman's Daughter. During question and answer later on, she shared that the most difficult aspect of turning The Island of Dr. Moreau into a YA novel wasn't adding a female character, but trying to achieve classic-feeling language that isn't dense and boring.

Obviously, I failed at getting a photo of Victoria Schwab's reading. But she's making a great face here, so there's that.

Unlike the others, Beth Revis declined to read from the start of Shades of Earth, partly because it's the third in a trilogy and spoilers would happen, but also because she doesn't like doing readings. She did read a page, though: the blank one. She's a funny lady, Beth Revis is.

The signing line, because I also failed to get a non-blurry photo of Meagan Spooner's reading. I should have brought my nicer camera. Lesson learned too late. Here are all of the ladies as the signing line goes by!

Victoria Schwab, author of The Archived, talking about the crazy faces she always ends up making when people take her photos.

Alright, to balance out that last photo, here's one of Victoria looking unquestionably adorable while Megan Shepherd, author of The Madman's Daughter, looks on.

Another cute photo of them!

Lenore grinning. The reason for this innocent-looking smile: she just made a ridiculous face for a photo a friend was taking. This is her deceptively evil grin of triumph.

And there's Meagan Spooner signing Skylark!

All five authors! Beth Revis, Meagan Spooner, Lenore Appelhans, Victoria Schwab, and Megan Shepherd.
