Meeting your favorite Authors
« on: October 25, 2011, 10:11:55 pm »
hi girls, I thought I'd start a new thread regarding the meet and greet with our favorite Authors! ;) I'd been lucky enough to meet and talk to Richelle Mead when she went on tour for the last VA book. You can check my story on meeting her here: http://aleng21.blogspot.com/2010/12/meeting-richelle-mead.html Then I read in the Goodread blog that Lauren Oliver (Before I Fall) is having a book signing near our place, I'm thinking if I should go or not. http://laurenoliverbooks.blogspot.com/2011/10/hey-philly-and-chi-town.html

I've also read the Nicholas Sparks will be in Manila on October 28. I read some details in Daphne Orsena's blog: http://daphne.ph/meet-nicholas-sparks

Care to share any meet and greet with other authors? Post schedules if you know about it!

i really envy you, i really wanted to meet Richelle Mead and get my books signed.

I don't know if I can go to Nicholas Sparks' book signing, not a very big fan, but I also like some of his books.

^Sana nga mag-international tour naman sya (Richelle Mead), which is hindi na malayong mangyari kasi madami namang international best seller authors ang nagpupunta na sa'tin. Naisip ko, kung si Judith McNaught siguro yung nag-book signing, maleta dala ko.

Lucky naman fans of Nicholas Sparks. But unfortunately, I don't read any of his books.

When Neil Gaiman was here, my sister was able to meet him and ask for his autograph.

It's also my dream to meet my favorite authors. No experience yet :( Same with previous experience/s with favorite celebrities, gustong-gusto ko yung Meet and Greet, dala-dala mo yung CDs or posters tapos nakapila kayo. Then photo-op. Hay.

I just met Nicholas Sparks a while ago at the Podium. Posed for a picture with him, got my book signed with his autograph, and gave him a card (inviting him to my wedding!) Haha! Pangarap lang kaya ko siya ininvite  ;D

I had one of my books signed by Nicholas Sparks too. I have been his big fan since The Notebook.

It would be nice if we have literary/graphic novel conventions in manila rin like they have comicon and stuff like that. Been actually to one literary for phil publishers..okay lang din. Pero there was no signup of authors or whatever.

hello everyone, i came across Richelle Mead's FB page yesterday and she posted a booklovers' convention in April 2012. sobrang swerte ko naman na dito sa Chicago! you can check it here:
http://www.rtconvention.com/teen-day

Authors that will be participating are Richelle Mead, Melissa Dela Cruz, Stephanie Perkins (yes!), Cynthia Hand, Rachel Caine, Alison Noel, Aprilynne Pike and sooo much more! Problema ko, kelangan ng YA (below 20) to register for that, wala ko kilala na mahilig din magbasa! They're accepting volunteers din and syempre I volunteered for the weekend. Sana matanggap akong volunteer!

I would love to meet Neil Gaiman (kahit ilan beses na siya pumunta dito) and JK Rowling  :)
Swerte niyo naman at na meet niyo na ang fave authors niyo.
Still hoping I'll get that chance.
