I tend to get completely tongue-tied if I don’t have something to say planned in advance and it’s really heart-warming to feel like you’ve complemented the author in a way that let them know how much you appreciated their book.

I treasure signed books the most when I meet the author, but just being able to get a signed book is exciting too!

It always make me happy when I feel like an author is enjoying meeting their fans as much as I’m enjoying meeting them

Having something prepared in advance is just my best tactic so far for dealing with that

I was really happy that both of them were better at taking pictures than I was. I’m just not used to having a smart phone yet!
