Maggie Stiefvater and David Levithan Signing Write Up

The day after Maggie Stiefvater's latest book The Raven Boys was released she did a book signing at Books of Wonder in New York City.  Back in August I read and reviewed "The Raven Boys." Unfortunately I couldn't go to the release party the day before in New Jersey because of work.  But I was happy because Jessica was able to come with me to the New York signing.

Jessica and I have both gone to book signings at Books of Wonder.  I'm pretty sure I've mentioned before how much I enjoy signings at smaller book stores as opposed to major chains.  Book signings at independent book stores and at libraries always feel more intimate and personal.  Plus there usually isn't a limit to the amount of books you can have signed.

Lazy Days of Summer Giveaway Hop

If you're here, I'm going to guess you like to sit outside and snuggle up to a good book. I know I do (except in this heat, it's a bit ridiculous). Here is a chance for one US winner and one INTERNATIONAL winner to win two books.
