This week I went to two author events! (I love Phoenix!!)

Tuesday night was Daniel H. Wilson where I picked up Robopocalypse (Robopocalypse, #1) by Daniel H. Wilson Robogenesis (Robopocalypse, #2) by Daniel H. Wilson The Clockwork Dynasty by Daniel H. Wilson

This event was at my local bookstore about 5 minutes away and there were only 7 people there. I was last in line so I ended up sticking around after and hung out with Daniel and the staff while he talked about his best friends (Ernest Cline was one) and books, and the upcoming movie of his book Robopocalypse going into preproduction soon and being directed by Michael Bay. It was so surreal!! Someone pinch me!

And last night I went to see The Lady Janies, Cynthia Hand, Jodi Meadows, and Brodi Ashton and picked up My Plain Jane (The Lady Janies, #2) by Cynthia Hand . They were such a hoot and knew who I was from my bookstagram acct! 😳 😂

I'm putting the link to the instagram post I did which includes a short video of the ladies doing a reading and acting as their characters. Hilarious!!

I had preordered Catwoman and also got a CatWoman PopSocket for my phone with my preorder! Love it :)

So far, I'm liking the Silent Corner. I like Jane Hawk a lot already. And while this feels like more crime and investigation, parts of it do have the mysterious "Koontz" vibe!
