Dark Days of Supernatural - Part 2, plus In My Mailbox

This week I decided to combine Part 2 of the Dark Days of Supernatural with In My Mailbox.  

In Part One, I posted lots of pictures of the authors at Dark Days. You can see that HERE. In Part Two, I want to show you the signed books and the little things the authors handed out. 


Here's this weeks vlog with the Dark Days stuff and In My Mailbox:



Here are the signatures and things I got at Dark Days of Supernatural:

 Bracelet from Tara Hudson that says Haunted Love. I love it! :)

Tara Hudson's signature. It says Happy Hauntings.

Ellen Schreiber's signature.
After much deciphering, I've discovered it says Many Fangs.

Veronica Roth's signature

Really awesome Divergent tattoos. One for each faction.

Aprilynne Pike's signature. One says Achieve, and the other says Strive.

 Plus, 2 tattoos that say Team David and Team Tamani


Amy Plum's signature. it says Walk with Revenants

Bookmarks! The dark days ones are signed


Here is my actual IMM:
I know I usually post the covers much bigger, but I want to include pictures of the books I got signed too, so they are going to be small this week. You can click on the picture to make it bigger, as always.

Hereafter | Tara Hudson
Once in a Full Moon
Goodreads | Amazon
Blood Wyne | Yasmine Galenorn
Goodreads | Amazon
I won this one from Kristina at My World of Books. She threw in the next two books as well! She rocks. :)

Witchling | Yasmine Galenorn
Garden Spells | Sarah Addison Allen

Blue Moon (the Immotrals #2) | Alyson Noel
Goodreads | Amazon
After reading the first one, I had to get the second one ASAP.

Everlasting (The Immortals #6) | Alyson Noel
Goodreads | Amazon
I don't even have books 4 and 5, but since it's the final book in the series, I bought it to get signed.

Whew! So, I included a little bit about Alyson Noel's signing too in the vlog, but I still have a ton of photos and a video to share with you all too. I'll be posting that this week!

Dark Days of Supernatural - Part One

I was extremely lucky to be able to go to Dark Days of Supernatural in Oregon this week. It was awesome! 

Click on the pictures to see them bigger.


I got there pretty early, around 5:00p.m., and the front row was already taken. I was still able to get seating in the second row! Score! That's way better than my last signing, where I was stuck way behind the massive crowd (you can read about that signing here). It was at the Barnes and Noble in Clackamas:

They were up on the second story, right in front of the windows in the middle

The ladies that were at my stop of the tour were so sweet, fun, and totally entertaining! I got to see Tara Hudson, Ellen Schreiber, Aprilynne Pike, Amy Plum, and Veronica Roth!! I have lots of pictures to share with you!


 They were announced and then they told us about their books. After that, the audience asked questions. I had a heck of a time trying to take pictures with that super bright window behind them! I could give you all the technical mumbo jumbo, but I know you just want to see the pictures. :)

All five of the wonderful authors
There were lots of great questions, but I don't really remember them all. Honestly, almost everything that was asked can be found on the author's blogs and websites, so I didn't take notes or anything.

 Amy Plum and Tara Hudson

Amy Plum answering a question

They Talked and answered questions for about 45 minutes or so, and then they started signing! 
They each had cute things they gave to us, too! Amy gave out yummy chocolate from France, Tara gave out bracelets, Aprilynne and Veronica gave out tattoos, and Ellen gave out little 3 musketeers and bookmark. I'll show you some of the stuff in part two of Dark Days - all except the chocolate. I ate that. :)
Getting ready and Amy talking to a fan

Ellen Schreiber

Amy signing. You can see the plate of chocolate! Yum.

Ellen Schreiber and Veronica Roth signing nooks

I think the authors all had a good time too!
Plus, I was able to meet Kristina, from My World of Books! It was awesome to finally meet her. We've been talking about this for months. She drove down from Washington:


I totally forgot to say hi to Vy and to Candace! I don't know how I let that slip my mind. Boo. :(

Overall, it was so fun. It was worth it to be super early and get a good seat. Plus, we got our books signed by row, so we didn't have to wait long at all.

I have more to show you! I'll try and have the pictures of the signatures and fun goodies I got in Part Two!

All pictures belong to me. Do not steal them. If you are an author or publisher, all you have to do is ask, and I will give you images without watermarks. :)

I'm reading Die For Me at the moment, and Divergent is up next! I've heard great things about it, so I am stoked to read it.

I feel like a giant advertisement for this tour! Really though, I am just really excited to get the chance to meet such an amazing group of authors!
