The Smart Chicks tour report: Their stop in Cincinnati on Friday was awesome. I got to meet up with some book bloggers and friends before the event - Bri from Bri Meets Books, Susan from Wastepaper Prose, Chelsea from The Page Flipper, Lauren Shooting Star Mag, fellow Ohio authors Mara Purnhagen, Carey Corp, and more. At the event, I got to finally meet fellow TFC sister, Alyson Noel, and met/got books signed by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, Jeri Smith-ready, Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, Melissa Marr, and Kelley Armstrong. Saturday I was able to have a lovely lunch with Kay Cassidy, Kristina McBride, Rae Carson, Sara Wealer and Susan Robertson. Perfect!
