To my fellow
Canadians, are you ready to mark your calendars? Here are some upcoming
YA bookish events to look forward to in April!
Nicholas Sparks
Nicholas Sparks will be in Toronto promoting his novel The Lucky One! The movie adaptation will be hitting theaters April 20th.
Canadian author Kelley Armstrong will be promoting The Calling, the second novel in the Darkness Rising series!
Penguin Canada is celebrating the launch of their new imprint RazOrbill (and their new online community) with an author tour!
I'll be attending the Kelley Armstrong event this Saturday at Indigo Yorkdale! I went to her signing last year when The Gathering was released, and it was super busy there. My advice if you're attending her event at Yorkdale this weekend, and want to get a decent spot in line, is to arrive there by around noon at least. And she'll sign any of her novels, so bring them all along if you wish!

I'm also hoping I can go to the RazOrbill event on the 19th, but I have an exam the next day, so I'm not quite sure if I'll be able to make it...
Will you be attending any of these events?
