Little late posting this, but here we are.
On October 24th, Caitlyn and I had a little road trip to Des Moines for Hockey Romance Night with Shelf Love DSM and the Iowa Wild, which also happened to be the Iowa Wild’s Pride Night.
We rolled into Des Moines around eleven o’clock and headed straight to Shelf Love. We met Mallory Glass and I picked up the two Stone & Flame books for my friend who loves a manor house. Mallory was gracious with her time and patient with Caitlyn and my bantering. I also grabbed stickers for a couple friends and took some photos seen at the top of this post.
After checking out at Shelf Love, we headed over to Dough Co. where I was not prepared for how big the slices would be. You can find a picture of me collapsed at the table after witnessing the size of my slices. The restaurant had a reading challenge which seemed particularly apt.
Caitlyn and I then headed over to the Casey’s Arena for the author signing and hockey game. Attending authors included Chelsea Curto, Pru Schuyler, Stef C.R., Laurea Matthews, Jennifer Bonds, AJ Alexander, Piper Hale, Jo Brenner, Bal Khabra, and Peyton Corinne. I left with a couple of books by Stef C. R., two more by AJ ALexander, and one by Peyton Corinne. All the authors I met with were kind and generous with their time and it was nice to meet some IG mutuals for the first time and run into some local friends!
We took a break to read and re-hydrate, then it was time for the Iowa Wild game. Our friend Allison joined us at the game where I got a free cute book cover, bought a Pride Night shirt, and resisted the call of another cute tote bag.
