✨ I ran out of time, especially because I had to step out for a bit to change shoes. I was also hoping to see the following authors and narrators! Since I was unable to snap a photo with them, I’m leaving you with a recommendation instead!

📖 @harperashleywrites (Recommend No Place to Hide … I hear we’re getting another book 👀 PS I love you babe!

📖 @authorlucysmoke (Recommend Burn with Me … PS I did manage to get a random video of complete nonesense video wise since I didn’t know it was recording, but the sound is basically us yelling compliments at eachother from across the room 😅)

🎧 @angelinaroccareads (Recommend listening to Between Never and Forever by Brit Benson)

🎧 @_erin_spencer (Ava Erickson and I recommend listening to Dark Notes by Pam Godwin. PS I was today years old when I realized she also writes her own books)

📖 @authorcmstunich I actually managed to see, but I didn’t have time for a pic! (There’s so many I could recommend but I think HAVOC series is still a favorite of mine)
