I am here today with my vlog for Book Bonanza 2023, a big book signing event held in Dallas, Texas! This was a 2-day signing event for romance book authors and readers to connect. I went a little early and extended the weekend to have fun with friends! I loved spending the weekend with bookish friends, getting books signed, and chatting with favorite authors! Let me know if you’ve been to any book signings or plan to this year! I’d love to chat in the comments.

Have all the authors signing a piece of city-related art is actually genius!
It is my favorite thing! A great way to see it all at a glance
Veryuseful event
As someone who has never gone to a signing, I absolutely love the videos taking us along! Feels like I got to tag along! So thank you for that! 💛
Awww yay I’m so glad! It’s fun to share 🥰💖
Oh my gosh! Victoria talks with her hands! ❤ It!!!! 🥰
Victoria is the best! 🥰
🎉perfect
Loved your video and also all the tips!❤
Awww yay thanks so much for watching! ❤️
Love all of you beauties! So nice to see the friendships you have all made!! ❤
Love that books have brought us all together and seeing them all in person is always the best 🥰🫶
Tiffany gets BEST hair!
You and Fiona Cole look like sisters.
Thank you for mountains at the end.
I moved a lot and all your tips were mine, too! Father esp taught me how to pack books for moving! We made little marks on all the packing boxes and wrote down what was inside, never lost anything. Your way is my way! And I learned to travel light for bringing back goodies, too. I love your weigh-er. My father would be so jealous!
Stayed at beautiful places. Loved that night show on the walls!
Starting to recognize faces...! Oh, my!
And that part at the end! I guess everything is bigger in Texas (except the size of the State (LOL))!
Thanks so much for watching! Yes I’ve traveled a ton and have it all down to a science at this point lol and Tiffany is the best, always fun seeing her! 💙
I’m obsessed with the city print idea.
It’s one of my favorite things! ❤️
I love how you organize. I also like making notes and lists. I have notebooks and post-its and tabs everywhere. So grreat that you bring along stuff for others too
Being organized is the best! Thanks so much for watching ❤️
Love your organizing and that city print where all the authors sign is so creative!
Thanks so much for watching! I love having the city prints ✨
Tiff’s hair is gorgeous! 😍
Soo beautiful!

I’m so glad I got to see you again too! Always so fun 🥰💖
Loved seeing your weekend! 💜
I’m so glad we ran into you there too! It was a whirlwind weekend lol
You are next level 😍 lol I hope I get to go to a book signing some time but I’m awful at keeping up with when they’re going to open up for tickets lolol
They’re a lot of fun! Mostly to see bookish friends and hang out in person lol and oh yeah, a lot you definitely have to be on top of when tickets go on sale cause they go so fast! Lol
I like the flow of your vlogs
Thanks so much!
I love your print idea. It’s brilliant.
My fav thing!
I feel like it was a BookTube family reunion!!! 🥰🥰🥰
It was!! Such a fun booktuber dinner 🥰
Fantastic video and great tips!
Thanks so much for watching! 🥰
Omg you are a pro at packing for book signings! I’m gonna have to level up my game 😅
Haha thank you! I definitely have a system for all the things 🤣💖
Girl I love you so much! 🫶👏👏👏 Also this makes me realize I need to curl the back of my hair too🤣👏🤣
🤣🤣🤣 you are funny! 🫶
I am notes girlie too!!! This is genuinely one of the most helpful book signing vlogs I've ever seen to help a newbie prep! I'm going to my first signing next year and literally wrote down all the accessories you recommended 😂Amazing job on this vlog! ☺
Oh yay I am so so glad it was helpful! Which signing are you going to? Hope you have the best time! 🥰💖
@@christireadsalot thanks so much 💞 I will be going to Apollycon! 😄
@@DaniArden that’s awesome, have a blast! 🥰🫶
Thanks so much for sharing this awesome event, Christi. My favorite part is seeing the closeup pics of my favorite authors, and when my favorite Tuber ladies get together to share meals, and the experience. ❤️
It was a fun time seeing so many bookish friends there and of course authors too, thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for including the links to your cart and other things you used. I’m going to a book signing in august so this is very helpful!
I’m so glad it was helpful!! I need to do a separate video of just tips too one of these days, cause after going to them often you pick up helpful things! Thanks for watching and have the best time at your signing! Which are you going to? 💖
It’s called Rockin’ Romance Readers in Knoxville, TN. It’s within driving distance for me. I’m excited because Jennifer Hartmann will be there! I don’t know many other authors, but it will be a fun time meeting them. 😄
@@Teenas_Booksandblankets oh that is nice it is semi-local and you can drive to it!
That’s looks so fun but I don’t/never fly lol and I don’t drive far I always get sleepy on long rides lol but maybe one day I’ll do something like this and I will say you have given me so many book ideas and I love organizing so much that I’m making basically a book wishlist in a notebook of books I want to read with a picture of them lol
There are so many book signings all over nowadays! Smaller ones are really nice to go to. Love that book wishlist idea to keep track of ones you want to read ❤️
@@christireadsalot yea I’ve thought it was a good way to remember what I want/read lol I saw a few books in your bookshelf tour that I was like “oh that sounds like a good book” or “I want to read that” then I look at my kindle lol and I’ve already got it or read it on kindle lol
love all your tips!! super helpful ❤
Yay I’m so glad! So glad I got to see you there for a bit 🥰
@@christireadsalot yes! im so glad i got to see you for a bit too! 🥰🫶🏼
I love how you talked about the preparation. When I was about to go to my fist signing that is exactly what I needed.
I need to do a separate one just for prep and tips one of these days! Cause you definitely learn more once you go to more ❤️
Yes please
Hello. Voted you best hair on my comment to Christi!
@@missjoshemmett awe. Thank you.
Loved watching this vlog!! 😍Your organisational skills? Pass some on to me please lol
Thanks so much! I love being organized 😅 so glad you enjoyed the vlog! 🥰
Listen, Tori and Jess’s outfit matched. Not sure if they met to do that. And Samantha is in her strawberry era!!! Caitlin and Ava are as gorgeous as ever.
Everyone was looking amazing! 💖
@@christireadsalot They were!
I love you so much Christi!!! It was amazing to get to spend time with you!💗
I’m so glad we got to see one another in person and spend the weekend together! Love youuuu 🫶💙
It was so fun reliving it all through your eyes! And you’re right, signings are so addictive. I want to attend another one asap!😆
They’re so addictive for sure! I’m so glad I got to see you there 🥰💖
You and I have the same mindset when it comes to organizing for a convention❤
What do you do about clothes and personal items?? I noticed 2 suitcases for books, but no clothes
They made guacamole right at the table VERY AWESOME
@@annmariesloan8406 I love table-side guacamole!
@@annmariesloan8406 I have 3 suitcases (2 checked and 1 carryon), so 1 checked and 1 carryon held books only. My 2nd checked had clothes, shoes, personal items, swag, my book cart folded down, anything extra.
Ah. Only saw the two with books, so was curious 😁
Oh, I looked up The King's Spinster Bride and the cover was not as cool as yours. However, the CDs are on sale and that cover is really pretty. Getting that, thank you.
Hope you enjoy!
Kerry!!! 😊
❤️❤️
it was so nice meeting youu❤❤❤
Same!!! I’m so glad we got to 🥰❤️
What’s the name of the Etsy shop that you got the canvas for the authors to sign it and also I love RUclips videos it gives me a lot more books to read. Would love to meet you at one of the book conventions.
ChalkAndLeaves 💖 and yay thanks so much for watching! 🥰 definitely say hi if you do come to a signing I’m at too!
I’ll be going to the Las Vegas one in October this year and thank you so much for letting me know the name of the Etsy shop and I would love to come visit Alaska is one of my wishes to come there, so do you know any good places
Ughhh. I miss you.
I miss you tooooo, Vegas can’t come soon enough! 🫶❤️
I want to go so badly, but it seems so overwhelming. Mainly, the wrist bands thing freak me out. Like what if you dont get any?
It is definitely a lot. Thankfully not all book signings are like this or even have wristbands, I’ve been to a handful now and this was my first signing with wristbands. There were people who didn’t make it the morning or wristbands being handed out and still saw authors they wanted to. They’d let people in if the lines weren’t super bad. Lots of waiting for sure.
What Etsy store did you use for the City art?
