Book Haul - MCMBloggerBrunch 

You need to up your romantasy game it seems! Those books do indeed have the most beautiful covers. Thanks for sharing your Blogger Brunch experience as well. They sound like a lot of fun. Looking forward to catching up. Hope you're doing well. :)

I noted that the cover for “Evocation” stated it was a Tour 2024 edition. Which led me to wonder if the cover was just a special bonus over a regular book - I think you mentioned people were just buying the cover and you said it was over the regular blue cover - and therefore what happens if they don’t bring enough. Do you have to get to the merch stall promptly to get the limited special editions at events such as this? You asked about meeting authors and asking Q’s. I’m not really a meet the author/signed books type, but every now and then I’ll join a live show on BookTube. Even in the chat/comments section I still want to ask interesting Q’s, and the pressure is there to not ask the same Q’s they must get a majillion times. What I’ll often do is prepare a few Q’s in advance within Notes on my iPad so I can just paste them into the chat window as they become relevant. That way I can note them as them pop to mind, and maybe refine them ahead of time. So I’d definitely prepare in advance if ever I were at some event!

Awesome video! Glad you had a good time at the Con. I do struggle with coming up with questions to ask authors, yes. Service Model sounds like an interesting book.

Seems like a really cool signing! Really liked Children of Time so I'm eager to get to more Tchaikovsky as well.

I also feel like a bit of a stalker 😅 by the end of the year I will have seen Adrian Tchaikovsky 4 times! And yes, I struggle a lot to find things to say/ask to the authors when I go to get my books signed. No matter how many times I do it, it doesn’t get any less awkward! 🙈

Sounds like you had a great time. I’m curious about evocation.

Evocation sounds interesting 🤔

Out of interest, which fantasy book did Adrian recommend starting with?
