Making the trip down to the Barnes & Noble in Huntington Beach, California for another exciting author event always gets me excited being a booknerd and all...haha! When I found out that Becca Fitzpatrick and Christina Lauren was scheduled for an event near enough for me to make the drive out...AND I was not scheduled to work, I was all too excited that I was finally going to meet Becca Fitzpatrick! Although I haven't read her books yet (yes, her books are on my TBR pile), I was excited to learn and get to know this popular author. Several friends have recommended her books to me, so I just had to meet her!

As for Christina Lauren, the amazing writing duo of Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings, I had met them at a previous event with Melissa dela Cruz! That was also so much fun! Check out the event video, HERE! But this time, with Becca Fitzpatrick, Christina Lauren discusses and signs their latest release Sublime, a young adult paranormal romance. Yes, this time, their latest book is YA, not Adult. It's funny, Christina and Lauren even stated that this was their first YA event...and it was totally different from their adult events...They said that their adult events are more...rowdy...haha!!

On this Wednesday night, October 8th, I met up with other booknerd/fangirl friends for this exciting author event! These events are always a great way for booknerd/fangirl friends to get together, have a good time, have a lot of fun, and catch up with each other. Coming from various parts of Southern California, sometimes, getting together can be difficult to do. But on this night, it was as if not a lot of time has passed. There was a lot of fun and laughs to be had that night. And, what a turn out it was! It was great!
Check out the event video and relive the fun we had as Becca Fitzpatrick and Christina Lauren discuss and sign their latest releases, Black Ice and Sublime, respectively!
After the exciting Q&A with the fans, these amazing authors took the time to sign and take photos with everyone! After all the signing and photo ops, I was able to take home some Sublime swag that I will give away! Just keep scrolling to the bottom of the post for the rafflecopter!
