Author Event: Lauren Kate (Passion Tour)

Last week, I got together with most (sans Vanessa *boo*) of my favorite MIA book crew to attend the Passion Release Tour with Lauren Kate, author of Fallen, Torment and Passion at the Books & Books in Coral Gables, FL.
Lauren really was as cute as she could be!  She was soft-spoken but genuinely witty and sweet...oh, and was rockin' the most fabulous red shoes!  Shoe Sista Power!

   

She started off the evening with a reading from Passion which sounds to be one of the most intensely romantic and moving books of the series.

She then had a Q&A session with us.  She was probably one of the most patient authors we've met and answered a whole lotta questions :)

She briefly touched upon the release and grand finale of The Fallen series with the final installment, "Rapture" to be released in 2012. 


She really was incredibly patient with her signing.  After such a crazy travel schedule and an event that started at 8 pm, by the time my crew made it to the front of the line it was past 10 pm and she was still going strong!  We even got some nice nail polish as swag :) Woot!  Last but never least, the MIA Book Crew
