Pitch Dark, an online community from HarperCollins Publishing, is hosting 9 authors for their Dark Days book tour which takes place in the next couple of months. For the first leg of the tour, the first four authors will be visiting 4 bookstores in: Huntington Beach, CA, Decatur, GA, Cary, NC, and Cambridge, MA.
The Cambridge, Massachusetts tour stop is next month, February 7th. Since I live in Rhode Island, I’m usually not able to visit book signings or author meet and greets, so when I researched the bookstore it is being held at, The Coop, I arranged a way to attend (with multiple forms of transportation :O ).
The four authors who will be present are Veronica Rossi, author of Under the Never Sky and Through the Ever Night, Tahereh Mafi, author of Shatter Me and Unravel Me (out Feb. 5), and Cynthia Hand, author of Unearthly, Hallowed, and Unbound, and Brodi Ashton, author of Everneath and Everbound.
As I had only read the works of Rossi and Mafi, I figured I would try Hand's and Ashton’s books so I could participate and enjoy the entire event, not just specifically half of the authors present. Over the next few days, I am going to post reviews of some of these authors work as I prepare myself for the event.
I plan on reviewing these books in no particular order:
I have already reviewed Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi and Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi which you can check out here and here.
Please bare with me as there are only a handful of days left under the tour and I plan on having everything read so I don't overhear any spoilers at the event, so if my reviews are a little rushed and wonky, I will do my best to revise them...although they might just come out stream of conscious style. :)

Happy Reading!

ReplyDeleteUnless it's over that is....
DeleteIt doesn't start until February, so you're safe! I hope you can make it, I know I'm beyond excited to go :)
DeleteUm...you just blew my mind! There going to Decatur GA!!! Seriously this is like a fantasy panel :) I cannot wait! Becca is obsessed with Cynthia Hand's trilogy so you should definitely check it out. Angels aren't my thing though. I enjoyed Everneath but I wasn't running out for Everbound anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteAnd you know how much I love Rossi :D
DeleteWell I'm just glad that I enjoyed Everneath and Unearthly... now I can meet 4 authors that I like instead of just Rossi and Tahereh.
DeleteI ended up buying Everbound because (as you can read in my review tomorrow), I wanted more from Everneath and I'm hoping Brodi Ashton brought more to the table with the second installment. And I'm kind of obsessed with Cole and what his plans are... I love a bad boy!
And even though angels aren't your thing, I didn't think they were my thing either until I read Hand's Unearthly. As you can read in my review on Wednesday, it was like a contemporary with a little magic/lore and it had excellent chemistry with all the elements of a story!
Thanks for stopping by!!
I'm super excited to see your reviews! Especially for Everneath. I thought it was a good story, but like you I wanted more from it.
DeleteBecca also keeps telling me to read Unearthly too! Now that's two votes in favor of the series, so I may end up doing it :)
