austin book fest & vilma’s book blog

Are you attending the third annual Austin Book Fest? This is my first time to attend the event, and I’m super excited! I’ve been working on the reading list for a few months now and I’ve got my books ready to be signed.
Austin Book Fest is a large signing event with 40+ bestselling authors ready to meet, greet, and sign your favorite books. This event is organized by one of my favorite book bloggers, Vilma with Vilma’s Book Blog. If you love to read and aren’t following her, please sign up now so you don’t miss out on your bookish needs. Her blog is fabulous!
Event Details:
March 5, 2016 from 12:00-4:00 pm
Hyatt Regency Austin, TX (Texas Ballroom)
Tickets are already Sold Out for this year. I’ll be sure to inform you earlier next year so you can get yours early.
Free Meet and Greet at the Hyatt Regency Austin Bar with authors from 8:00-9:00 pm with music from Griffin Peterson
Griffin Peterson plays the songs for Colleen Hoover’s Maybe Someday, November 9, and Ugly Love. So good!
For a list of all of the authors attending click here. Some of my favorites include Colleen Hoover, Anna Todd, Caroline Kepnes, Heather Lyons, Jennifer L. Armentrout, K.A. Tucker, Molly McAdams, R.S. Grey, and R.K Lilley (to name a few).
Since this is my first time to attend, I have been studying the FAQ’s and the Tips for attending. Be sure to check these sections out before you attend, they have a lot of great information. From what I’ve heard, you need to be sure to have a plan and get there early. Study the seating chart. Also, some authors will require a bracelet for their signings so be sure and get your bracelets.
