Hey all! Last night I was lucky enough to have Maggie Stiefvater come to my local library! Yay! It was really fun too. I left like 3 hours early, which was a little too early, but since Meg Cabot's signing was super packed I thought to leave earlier!
Maggie is very funny! She's very wild and crazy--in the good way, she is an author after all! She talked about her books a little, the writing process, getting published, that whole deal! Basically what authors discuss and it was fascinating! I love hearing their different stories about getting published! It's very inspiring for me!
She told us the story about when she heard that Linger made #1 on the NYT Bestseller's list and how she was on a very small plane that didn't allow any electronics on it, so she had to speak very quietly with her agent when she got the good news!
I was even one of the first people in line to get my books signed! Actually I was the first because I was totally prepared and was in the first line group! Oh yeah! Getting there 3 hours early has its payoff!
She also has an amazingly cool car!! And she did mention that after all her road-tripping she finally had some car troubles! Luckily she was still able to make it here on time!
And now for what you're all waiting for, the GIVEAWAY! In order to go in the signing line I had to buy a book so I bought one for one of my lucky followers. If you haven't read Maggie's books yet, here's your chance to start the Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy with a SIGNED copy of Shiver.
Of course if you have read the series you can still have a chance to get a SIGNED copy of Shiver! It's a win-win!!
EDIT: Also I will add in the flashdrive that I got, it has some This is Teen videos on it with Maggie, Meg Cabot and Libba Bray!!
