One of my favorite author events ever—not only because Pierce Brown is as good a storyteller in person as he is on the page, but also because I went to this signing with my daughter (in middle school at the time). So fun to go together & have an opportunity to tell Brown how much we both love his books.

Today‘s #FavoriteSignedBooks is from BEA in 2017 (I think). Such a fun weekend, so many amazing authors. I cannot tell you how excited I was to say hello to Jason Reynolds, truly a wonderful, inspiring ambassador for young readers, and to have a chance to tell him not only how much I enjoyed his books but also, more importantly, how much students love his books. This one is a favorite!

Today‘s #FavoriteSignedBooks is one of my son‘s all time favorite books/series. Clearly an old man before his time 😂, my son started reading this series when he was twelve years old & he couldn‘t put it down. He was tongue tied when he met Scalzi in 2020 but thought he was very cool. My son is so protective of the book, he bought a digital copy so he doesn‘t have to carry this one around.
I‘d love to hear about your favorite signed books! 📖🖋
Feb. 2020 we went to C2E2 & were fortunate enough to get a copy of the tagged book a few days before it was released (the publisher was at the convention which is why I think they had it). Better yet, Rae Carson was there & I had her sign the book to my son & I since we are both big Star Wars fans & like to read the books. (The best is when we read & discuss books together!)
I‘d love to hear about your #FavoriteSignedBooks!
I first met Annalee at BEA when I saw a poster of their book Autonomous with blurbs from William Gibson & Neal Stephenson—recommendation enough for me! We chatted & then I later saw Annalee on tour, went out for drinks with them & Charlie Jane Anders & now I never miss Annalee when they are on tour. Sometimes those blurbs on the covers really do matter!

If you are a fan of science fiction and/or fantasy and ever have the chance to see Charlie Jane Anders in person, I highly recommend doing so. She is THE BEST—always has something interesting to say, wears the most fabulous dresses, and signs her books with exuberance. I see her whenever she‘s in town and this is the first book I ever had her sign (there have been more since).
Tell me about your favorite signed books!

Today‘s story—in college I helped at a book signing for Jean M. Auel. I asked her to sign a book for my then boyfriend (now husband). As she did, I told her I was going to graduate school to study archaeology—it seemed in line with her books (at least a little)—& for the next few minutes she told me why it was a terrible idea. She didn‘t change my mind, but she did make an impression!
I‘d love to hear your favorite stories!

@TracyReadsBooks this is my #FavoriteSignedReads book. A. Manette Ansay was one of my first "must buy" authors. And one time my mom and I went to hear her speak and I got this book signed (my favorite of hers) and her memoir, Limbo. It seems she hasn't written much since the late 90s. Possibly due to her health. I have an almost complete collection of her books that I treasure. ?
Following the lead of @TracyReadsBooks and sharing one of my favourite signed books. I stumbled across this copy of The Piano Man's Daughter 10+ years ago. A family member gave it to me and told me to just pass it along when I was done with it...she didn't even realize that having a signed copy was a big deal! Needless to say, I pulled a selfish on this one and did *not* just send it on down the line. #FavoriteSignedBooks #FavouriteSignedBooks
Kenneth Oppel, great MG/YA author, posted pictures of his favorite signed books on Twitter & asked people to share theirs. I love the idea & thought it would be perfect to do on Litsy!
This book was an unexpected, wonderful gift from my brother-in-law & it‘s my absolute favorite.😍
Want to share your stories? I‘ll try to post weekly & I‘d love to hear about your favorite signed books/author encounters!
