Event Recap: Elise Kova and Danielle L. Jensen Signing @ Chapters Metrotown

 

As some of you may already know, I'm a big fan of Elise Kova (author of the Air Awakens series) and Danielle L. Jensen (author of The Malediction Trilogy). Last Saturday they were in Vancouver and did a joint signing at Chapters Metrotown. It was such a surreal experience meeting them!

 

Elise and Danielle at Chapters Metrotown!

 

I was about 20 mins early and they were still setting up so I stood off to the side. And yep, I was the creepy girl who was staring and grinning at them lol. My hubby said they probably don't recognize me but they smiled when they saw me so I took that as a good sign (or they're just being friendly) :P



I was first in line and after some (internal) squealing followed by speechlessness from me, they started signing my books. I couldn't believe they were right in front of my eyes O.O Anyways I backed off after they were done to let others meet them but I told them I'd be back lol...

 

I'm fangirling!

 

After the initial group of people, I got back in line with my cousin who got her books signed and I got some more books signed ;) It was so much fun talking to Elise and Danielle about their books~ They were so generous and down-to-earth (and read and right in front of me!)!



Chatting with Elise and Danielle~

I also got all the hugs!!!! Extra ones for Melissa too <3

HUGS! *squeals*

After I got everything I brought signed, I stuck around and chatted with Elise, Danielle and a couple other readers. We were basically hogging Elise and Danielle's attention #sorrynotsrry Elise drew me a scene from Crystal Crowned! It's very spoilery so I won't share it here but if you want to see, let me know ;)

Goodreads Summary:

A library apprentice, a sorcerer prince, and an unbreakable magic bond...

The Solaris Empire is one conquest away from uniting the continent, and the rare elemental magic sleeping in seventeen-year-old library apprentice Vhalla Yarl could shift the tides of war.

Vhalla has always been taught to fear the Tower of Sorcerers, a mysterious magic society, and has been happy in her quiet world of books. But after she unknowingly saves the life of one of the most powerful sorcerers of them all—the Crown Prince Aldrik—she finds herself enticed into his world. Now she must decide her future: Embrace her sorcery and leave the life she’s known, or eradicate her magic and remain as she’s always been. And with powerful forces lurking in the shadows, Vhalla’s indecision could cost her more than she ever imagined.
