I love reader conventions.
The initial draw of reader conventions is the chance to meet your favorite authors. This is always such a blast, especially as many authors aren’t able to do book tours. Meeting them in person and getting a book signed is a treat, but at conventions centered on authors interacting with readers you get the opportunity to actually hang out with them.
The first time I attended a book convention, I thought that’s what I would enjoy most. And while I loved it, I think the absolute best part is being surrounded by people who love books as much as you do. No one at a book convention is going to judge you for having overflowing bookshelves or buying three new books when you already have a hundred on your Kindle that you haven’t read.
Basically book conventions = my people.
So, I was really excited when my friend Casey said she was going to put on a new book convention—Reading Until Dawn Con—in Denver. I always feel like I’m flying to the coasts for conventions, and a Denver trip is going to be delightful. RUDC even has it’s own twist: it’s all about the games. We’re even working an Alpha Showdown-related game. Seriously. Straight-up shenanigans and lovin’ on the book boyfriends for a weekend in Colorado. Not a bad deal, right?
Reading Until Dawn Con is Oct. 8-11, 2015, and featured authors include Darynda Jones, Jess Haines, Jeffe Kennedy, Megan Hart, Tessa Bailey and more. Registration for the convention just opened and is only $75 today. The price goes to $85 starting Nov. 15. (If you’ve been to any conventions, you know that’s a steal.)
I’m planning to attend, and you should, too. Hit the comments and let me know which conventions are your favorites.
Ha, I have family in the area! I will totally be there 🙂
ALPHA SHOWDOWN GAME? Oh hell yes! *points to self* TEAM VLAD, BABY!
