The Queen of Kentucky Book Signing!

On Friday the 13th (Duh duh Duhhhhh!), a local Indie bookstore hosted a signing. I have never been to a signing before, mostly because their aren't many in Kentucky (close to where I live). I was so excited when Alecia, author of The Queen of Kentucky, told me that she would be stoping by at Carmichael's Bookstore! I just knew I would have to go! I really liked her book and I love to support debut authors. So begging my mom and some other family members, I convinced them to go!


The day of the signing it pretty much snowed, lightly, all day. It was freezing cold and windy. But I was still ecstatic to go! Some of the other people with me not so much, they HATE the cold. We still went, and I am so glad we did. We got there early, because we are awesome like that! :P So we had front row seats! Alecia is so nice, and she is very sweet! And I loved her cowgirl boots! Should have worn mine. :) Here are some pictures from the signing.

Love that SIGN! :D




 Alecia is so nice! All during the signing I was laughing so hard! one of my favorite quotes of the night; "Ricki Joe will not go around stabbing vampires in the heart with tobacco sticks!" :) I really had a lot of fun! And I hope I get to meet Alecia again. It's nice to have an author showing some love for Kentucky! 


Do you remember your first signing event? What happened? Who was the author? Let me know!

  1. Very cool! :) I'm pretty sure my friend Brent also went to this event as well. I actually can't remember what the first signing I attended was. It could have been the midnight release party with Suzanne Collins, but I'm not 100% sure.

  2. I've yet to go to any YA signings, I went a author signing for a MG book when I was really young, but I can't remember the name of it. It looks like you had a lot of fun though. :) Glad you got the chance to go.

Revealing Eden by Victoria Foyt




When I read Dystopian books, I either love them or hate them. Most of the time I just can not connect with the characters, and sometimes it's the setting. But with Revealing Eden I was completely captivated with the world Victoria created.

Steel by Carrie Vaughn




Time travel and pirates. These are two words that I love to hear! I have always love time travel, and pirates have always interested me. So finding this book was like finding a buried treasure! ( why yes, that was super cheesy, but I couldn't resist!) In fact a book I am writing now has to do with time travel. :D hehe!

The Queen of Kentucky by Alecia Witaker




The Queen of Kentucky is a book that I, as a Kentucky native myself, could relate to. Being able to relate to the characters and the surroundings really made me enjoy this book. The Queen of Kentucky is one of those books that has such a great message.

Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi




As soon as I got this book I tore into it! I could not wait to read it! And once I started Under the Never Sky it never let my hand. :) This is by far one of my favorite dystopian novels that I have read this year! Veronica really surprised me with her debut! Think of Under the Never Sky as awesome as Angelfire, and if you know me at all then you know that this novel blew my socks off! it!
