An evening with Maggie Stiefvater
Nov. 15th, 2017 09:49 pmA few weeks back, I saw on Tumblr that Maggie Stiefvater was out on a book tour, so I checked the list of locations. I was surprised to find that she would be stopping by the library in the next town over; we're not exactly a popular destination for authors.
So tonight was the night! I checked her Tumblr for any last minute announcements, and felt pretty lucky it was still on after seeing that she had had to cancel her previous stop due to illness. The venue had posted an announcement that people wanting signatures had to buy a book on the premises, so I planned to get there a little early to pick up a copy. Then I was running late (which is the story of my life), and literally got to watch the person ahead of me buy the last two books. *SIGH*
Her talk was really lively and entertaining, and with the ease of her delivery, I'm guessing that it's her standard talk. ( Whereupon I try to recall details ) Next time, I will definitely bring my own things to get signed.
