Last night, my book club and I had the wonderful opportunity to meet Katherine Arden, author of The Winternight Trilogy.
Our book club had read The Bear and the Nightingale last year and we all absolutely loved it! When we saw that she was coming to Concord, a meet up was planned immediately.
Here are some photos from the event!
Meeting Katherine Arden @ Gibson’s Bookstore in Concord, NH
I met up with our book clubs organizer, Kendall, in the parking garage and we rushed over to the shop. It was wicked cold (good old January weather in New Hampshire), so we wanted to get inside as soon as possible!
When we arrived at Gibson’s Bookstore, I went to the register to snag The Winter of the Witch, which had just come out on January 8th, and then headed to the area where the event would be held. Our book club member, Tiffany, had gotten there early and saved us all seats in the front row. It was such a lovely and rather intimate event, as we were all sitting pretty close.
Here’s the photo of our club members that could make it to the event. From left to right, Leia, myself, Kendall, Tiffany, and Rich:

- January 12th- Concord, NH
How awesome! What a fun event!

Very awesome! Author events are so fun!
Right?! I hope more authors I know come to my area this summer! π
How fun is that? I'm going to be reading The Bear and the Nightingale this week. I'm really looking forward to it.
Wahoo!! Enjoy!
Sounds like so much fun!
Did she read part of her new book?

It was awesome! And no, but I'm glad she didn't! I still need to read the second book π
That's so awesome! What's even cooler is that your book club got to make a group event out of it!

π It was definitely a cool experience!!
I love author events! This one sounds like a lot of fun, and I like that she put the date when she signed your book. Good idea.

Me too! I don't go to them nearly as much as I wish I did. I've gotta keep a better eye on the schedule!
Sounds like such a great event and that you really enjoyed it. And yes, the purple definitely gets my attention and approval as well π

Sounds like a great event!
It sure was!
This is so so cool! I love what she mentioned about writing, too. So true. The most important thing is to work on your craft.

Oh wow, my book group would've loved to have met her. They've all read Nightingale and loved it. One of these days I'll get it read too π Glad you had a great time!

I know how much you love the series so it must have been so lovely to meet her and be able to discuss with her and the book club. Lovely photos too xx
