It was absolutley amazing and I felt a desperate need to do a post about the events of the day. So if you're expecting a book review, I'm afraid that this isn't going to be one, sorry!
So I started the day by having my friend Hollie arrive at my house at 8 so that we could get the bus to Birmingham and get there reasonably early (because we knew that it would be popular I mean... It's Cassie).
We then got there at around 11:30 and went to see that there was a queue that had alrady started (that wasn't actually allowed until 3pm but oh well) so we joined the queue and met some new friends, one of whom had written malec fanfic during the wait. (And I met Ren who is just as obsessed with Malec and their offspring as I am and it makes me so, so happy, if you want to look her up, her youtube is renontheroad).
BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THAT, YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT CASSANDRA CLARE DON'T YOU?!
She was so lovely. She had about 800 people queued around all of the way to Moor Street station and wanted to get through them all and that was so nice of her to think about all 800 of us. They also gave us water in the line which was so consderate, thank you Waterstones. When we got there, we were told that she was signing Lady Midnight and then stamping two others, which we were all perfectly fine with because after all, it's cassie and she's queen. So I brought City of Bones and The Bane Chronicles.
When I met her, I told her about my love for her books and how they got me into reading and she said 'ahh I'm so happy that you've read them, thank you for reading them' and it's just made me so happy. Then she was like 'also I love your runes' because my friends and I had all dressed as shadowhunters and had runes everywhere. On the way out we then got an exclusive poster just for the tour atendees and it's so beautiful!
If you get the chance to go to one of her signings I would really recommend it and for anyone that is going to one...... GET. THERE. EARLY.
