Last week I was invited to a fantastic event at Barnes & Noble at the Grove with YA authors, Tahereh Mafi, Anna Carey, Ransom Riggs & Lauren Kate. The event was SO much fun! Authors Robyn Schneider (The Knightly Academy) & Kaleb Nation (Bran Hambrick) came to hang out, and Robyn fielded questions and gave away BEAUTIFUL CREATURES tees and RAPTURE posters. Lita & Amanda from B&N put on a great YA event, so you should stop by if you’re in their neck of the woods. There were lots of people taking pictures, but here are a few of mine and some from Elena Raines, of Caster Girls & Boys.
