This is a special haul from the
2015 Miami Book Fair!!
2015 Miami Book Fair!!
The Miami Book Fair is held in Miami, Florida, USA, every year, in the month of November. It lasts for an entire week, ending with a street fair. Author events run through the entire week, too.
This year, the fair began on Sunday, November 15th, and ended on Sunday, November 22nd. I went to the street fair last Saturday, November 21st. Although I was only able to stay a few hours, I did have a great time!
I attended one of the author events, in which YA authors Melissa de la Cruz and Ridley Pearson talked about their books, their individual writing processes, and answered questions from the audience packed into the small auditorium.
I bought de la Cruz's latest title, The Isle of the Lost, which is the first book in her new Descendants series. After the event, I stood in line outside the auditorium, and got my book signed by the author! Another attendee was kind enough to take my picture as I stood right next to the author.

De la Cruz is well-known for several YA best-selling series, such as the Blue Bloods paranormal series.
Pearson is well-known for his equally best-selling YA Kingdom Keepers fantasy series, and he's also written mysteries and thrillers for adults.

WANTED so badly to buy books!!!
I am already looking forward to next year's fair! Hopefully I will be able to spend an entire day there! If so, then I will plan to attend at least three author events. These are not only interesting, but also make me feel like I'm a college student again!
