On Saturday July 23 I
had the chance to attend the biggest pop culture convention in the United States,
Comic con at San Diego convention center. I was super excited because the only
time I attended before was in 2008, and the following years I couldn’t get a
ticket until this year! The first time I attended I was looking for anime
related stuff, but this year I looked for books related stuff. I made my
schedule with the signings I wanted to attend, fewer that the ones I actually
got.
When I entered the exhibit hall the first thing I did was
to go to the Fierce Reads booth for
the signing of Marissa Meyer at 9:45 am. Few minutes before it started, the
staff made us line up, I was the fourth person and we went with her in pairs.
Marissa Meyer was super kind, she signed all my books of The Lunar Chronicles, the staff took me a pic with her, and she gave
me a signed poster and sampler of Wiresand Nerve. Because I said I was from Mexico and I brought all my books,
they told the staff to give me extra bookmarks because I was a “big fan”. I was afraid she wouldn’t sign
all my books; I had read on internet that sometimes there is a limit of one or
two books per person.
