Yallfest Event Review/ Giveaway**

November 15, 2017 / 6 comments

Liezel’s Thoughts:
Yallfest 2017 is my 4th Yallfest Book Festival that I have attended and to me it seems to be getting bigger and brighter each year.
They’ve added numerous renowned authors to the list, gave out tons of swag items and 2018 ARCs, the attendee and panels lines are longer and the vendor tents and fun games and prizes become were more abundant this year.
Yesterday a friend asked me if it was too hectic running from one location to another. It does sound crazy but honestly, I absolutely love it! Besides providing a great opportunity to acknowledging the beauty of Charleston it …

Shameless Book Con Event Review/ Giveaway**

October 25, 2017 / 2 comments

Liezel’s Thoughts:
Weeks before the event, I was honestly feeling stressed. Considering the number of well-known authors attending, I thought there was no way I would be able to see everyone on my list but surprisingly I had plenty of time to make my rounds multiple times over. The way they worked out the Fast Passes was perfect.

As a matter of fact, the entire event was just PERFECT. The organizers paid attention to every single detail – from the ticketing, author list, swag …

RT Fan-tastic Day Review/ GIVEAWAY**

May 11, 2017 / 1 comment

Liezel’s Thoughts:
I’ve been to numerous signings in the past five years and this is by far the most exhausting! No matter how tired I was at the end, however, I would say it was worth every minute.
What made the experience worthwhile was connecting with so many other women with like interests. BOOKS. I would be in a line for a few minutes or (at times) even hours but every time I turned around I found …

Authors In The Bluegrass Event Review/ Signed Giveaway**

May 4, 2017 / 0 comments

Angie’s Thoughts:
I really hate to start off a review on a negative note but I have to say this first. My experience, as well as some of my friends, started out on a bad note. I felt like I was not important and was pushed to the side when asking questions but I didn’t let that get me down.

When I checked in on Friday to pre-register the girls at the desk were extremely nice and …

Apollycon 2017 Event Review/ Signed Giveaway**

March 30, 2017 / 1 comment

Liezel’s Thoughts:
Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better Stephanie Sandra Brown and Hannah McBride proved me wrong! Apollycon 2017 was such a well-organized affair. Definitely one of my favorite events to date.

The location and venue were great! I mean come on! Orlando? Perfect timing for the kids (and mommy) who were needing a vacation. The DoubleTree by Hilton ( near Universal) was terrific.
Any hotel with a bar situated across from a Starbuck’s is …

Rebels & Readers Event Review/ Giveaway**

November 10, 2016 / 0 comments

Angie’s Thoughts:

On Saturday, November 5, 2016, the Rebels and Readers Author Event was graced by my cheerful presence! Unbeknownst to them there was an unidentifiable blogger amongst them watching their every move. What I found was both alarming and much different than the last signing I went to.

Instead of disorganization, I found none. I found room to walk amongst peers. To chat with all the authors about their books freely without fear of being trampled …

July 13, 2016 / 0 comments

Micah’s Thoughts:
I attended the Sexy and Sassy Signing hosted by author Amy Marie and The Literary Gossip this past weekend on July 9, 2016, in Norfolk, Va. I live about an hour away from the event, so it was a short drive. I actually had the immense pleasure of starting the weekend early and got to attending the roving author dinner the night before. The host of the evening was BT Urruela. The authors would …

Angie’s Thoughts:
This was my first big signing I ever went to and while there were some issues it didn’t stop me from having the time of my life! The venue was absolutely gorgeous!

While waiting for it to open, the authors started coming out for their pictures to be taken and I was a total fangirl! I wanted to start yelling their names and waving like the stalker I am but obviously, nerves took over and …

Lovely Ladies & Naughty Books Event Review/ SIGNED Giveaway**

May 23, 2016 / 2 comments

Micah’s Thoughts:
I had the pleasure of attending the Lovely Ladies and Naughty Books author signing this past weekend, May 21, 2016, in Washington, D.C. It was held at the gorgeous Mayflower Hotel in downtown. The venue itself was breathtaking. I’d never been to the Mayflower before, but it was beautiful. Since I live only 2 hours from D.C., I don’t need to stay over in the city often.

There were three sessions for the event: blogger, …

Emerald City Author Event Review/ Signed Giveaway**

May 7, 2016 / 0 comments

Liezel’s Thoughts:
I never intended to go to this event but once 2 of my favorite authors were announced I couldn’t resist one-clicking a reservation to Seattle.
Truth is, not only has it been years since I’ve flown but I never flew to a book event EVER. I didn’t know what to expect. I was more anxious than excited as the date got closer. As soon as I got there and caught a glimpse of all these amazing authors in one room all that stress and …
