I am going to one author event this month but it doesn't have to do with any YA authors or anything. My  mother always been obsessed with the old TV series called the Walton's. A lot of people might not know it because it was out during the 1970s. As a matter of fact, I was named from one of the characters on the show. My name is Olivia and so was the mother on the show. I was say her obsession with it is probably how my obsession with Vampire Diaries works. Lol. Well one of the actresses wrote a book and she is going to be doing a book signing close to us and my mom and I are going to be attending!

NYT Bestselling Author Libba Bray discusses and signs The Diviners

 

Evie O'Neill has been exiled from her boring old hometown and shipped off to the bustling streets of New York City--and she is pos-i-toot-ly thrilled. New York is the city of speakeasies, shopping, and movie palaces! Soon enough, Evie is running with glamorous Ziegfield girls and rakish pickpockets. The only catch is Evie has to live with her Uncle Will, curator of The Museum of American Folklore, Superstition, and the Occult--also known as "The Museum of the Creepy Crawlies." When a rash of occult-based murders comes to light, Evie and her uncle are right in the thick of the investigation. And through it all, Evie has a secret: a mysterious power that could help catch the killer--if he doesn't catch her first.
