Hi! It’s been a
while since my last post, this time I’ll talk about my experience at comic con
this year.

I only attended one day, Sunday, the last day when everything is cheaper
but there are less signings and the con ends earlier. Several days before the
con, I made a budget and listed the book related events I wanted to attend.
I did not attend any panels because as I only had one day to enjoy the
con, I wanted to explore the exhibit hall as much as possible, but I would
attend some post-panel signings.
I arrived exactly at 9:00 am and picked up my con bag, left a backpack
with wells in the coat check with some books inside, and started my adventure
in the exhibit hall.

The first signing I had planned was Sarah Khun, author of Heroine Complex. The signing would be
held at the exhibit hall from 10:30 am to 11:30 am. When the time arrived I got
lost and couldn’t find the booth, when I finally did I noticed they were only
selling a special box that contained the second book, and other bookish things,
but the price was $60, so I went to a bookstore booth named Mysterious Galaxy to buy the book, but
turned out Mysterious Galaxy had
signed copies of the book, all the copies they had were signed so I thought I could
postpone buying it to buy another book and buy it signed later in their store.
The second signing I planned to attend to was Pierce Brown’s (Red Rising trilogy), that would be held
at Del Rey booth from 11:30 am to 12:30
pm. It was a ticketed event, first come first serve. I got a ticket and waited
in line for half an hour but the line didn’t move, I only moved 2 people, so I left
because other signing was approaching.
