So, I've been to a few great book events since I've gotten back to NYC for the new semester. The only problem is that I've been too lazy to post about most of them until now. So, here we go! Here are the highlights of the events:
Almost a month ago, towards the end of January, I went to Bluestockings for Kody Keplinger's reading and book signing.

the highlights:
- arriving before the event started (the last time I went to see Kody Keplinger, I was an hour late!)
- getting to hang out with Kody, Kody's agent, and my most lovely boss afterward!
Then, that next week, at the beginning of February, I headed on over to the Barnes & Noble on the Upper East Side for an event with Alecia Whitaker and Jennifer E. Smith.

the highlights:
- finally getting to go to an event for Alecia Whitaker, who reads so enthusiastically, you feel like you're part of the story!
- meeting to lovely Jennifer E. Smith
- getting my copies of The Queen of Kentucky and The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight signed
- seeing some of my favorite bookish people, including Rachel from Bookshelf Lust and Mitali from Alley of Books (even though she doesn't really blog there anymore), who I hadn't seen since the end of last summer
Then, the week after that, I went down to the Jefferson Market branch of the NYPL for February's Teen Author Reading Night, hosted by Barry Lyga and featuring authors Kate Ellison, Carley Moore, Madeleine George, Jennifer Hubbard, Maryrose Wood, Peter Lerangis, and Barnabas Miller.
