Hi everyone!
On Friday, September 16th, Wanda and I visited The Voracious Reader in Larchmont, NY because author Rachel Hawkins would be there talking about her series, Hex Hall. I am huge fan and just recently Wanda read and loved Hex Hall. It's a really good series and I think everyone of all ages can read it.
Rachel talked about her home town, writing the series, her characters and what she is working on next. Afterward she signed a couple of books and took some pictures. Rachel is working on a spin off series with some new characters. I am really excited to read it. After meeting Rachel, I can honestly say that her main character Sophie, is exactly like her. She was so funny and had all of us cracking up in our seats. I am really happy we got the chance to meet her. The Voracious Reader is always having great events and what I like best about it is, the events are not rushed and you get personal time with the authors. They also have a great staff and the owner always has some kind of goodies to go along with the event. If you're ever in Larchmont or even New Rochelle, stop by The Voracious Reader. We love that bookstore!
Here are a couple of photos from the event...
Cell phone photos don't really come out great, but I never learn lol.
Wanda, Rachel Hawkins and I
Even though I am holding SPELL BOUND in my hands, it really was just the cover on HEX HALL. LOL I wish I had Spell Bound! lolWanda and I chipped in together and got a copy of Hex Hall, and a Demon Glass bag to giveaway to one lucky follower. They are both signed by Rachel Hawkins.

Sounds like it was a great event! I always end up using my cell phone at events, I think it's a lesson we never learn.
ReplyDeleteOne power....well I think I'd really want to fly on a broom. I don't think that qualifies as a power but it sure sounds fun. :D

If I could have a witch power it would be to transfigure things into other things. I would be really convenient at times when you really need a pair of scissors but all you have are your car keys to open something.
ReplyDeleteGreat Giveaway! I really hope to win!

If I was a witch, I would choose the power to heal. It's cliche but there's so much going on in the world today, having a disease should be one less thing to worry about.
P.S. I don't know if you've gotten my tweets but I received (Anna Dressed in Blood) last week.
I want to fly. I've wanted to fly since I was a little girl. I used to think that everyone secretly could, and all I had to do was figure out how. By the way, awesome giveaway! I love Rachel Hawkins! I'm from Alabama too. :)

If I was a witch, I'd want to be able to compel people. I would only use it for good of course! And maybe if I wanted a certain thing from a store but I didn't have money... Lol! (I mean, seriously, if you had the power to compel people, you're really telling me you wouldn't compel someone to give you a brand new computer or a car or something?)

Oh wow, only one power.... hmmm.... I guess it depends on if I live in danger. If so, I'd want to be able to have a defensive power like throwing fire balls or something. But if I live in peace, then I would want to be able to be able to borrow any other witches power. That sounds like fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway.

ReplyDeleteIf you could be a witch, but only have one power, what power would you choose and why?
As a procrastinator who does her best work last minute, even though she hates the stress and tries to do it earlier, I'd love the power to freeze or stop time... just for a few seconds. I've been watching Charmed a lot recently and I LOVE that power. Just imagine the anxiety it would spare you!

that is so very cool that you got to meet her. I don't know how you guys do it all the time...all the giveaways. I'd be so broke :( This is an awesome giveaway. I like low key book stores too. Very personal unlike B&N and so forth. If I had one power as a witch it would be mind control or maybe just be able to fly. I think mind control speaks for itself but I'd try not to use it doing bad things. To be able to fly...that would be awesome too. No more traffic ;) Thanks so much for the contest.
