Yesterday I was lucky enough to attend Mary E. Pearson's event at Hicklebee's – an adorable independent bookshop in the heart of the city – for Mary's second stop in The Beauty of Darkness tour. We were lucky enough to have Veronica Rossi – author of the Under the Never Sky trilogy – at the event as well. I absolutely adore both the Under the Never Sky trilogy and The Remnant Chronicles, so to say that I was excited is an understatement!
I was also lucky enough to meet Hannah (A Clockwork Reader) who was there to interview Mary. We both participated in a Hamilton lip-sync a while ago, so it was really nice to actually meet her in person. I really wish I would have thought for us to take a picture together, but oh well, maybe next time.
Also, the bookstore's walls and pillars are covered in authors' signatures and doodles – including J.K. Rowling's which I will most definitely go back to find one day – and I loved walking around looking through them and seeing which authors have visited the store before.
