*****

I'll be attending the event for James Dashner for sure, and depending on the exact location/time for the Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian event, I'll definitely be trying to make it to that one too!

*****

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?
