Left some extra copies if anyone local is looking 😊. Also, they let me keep the sign. I might put it on my wall, just because. Afterward, my husband and I went out for chocolate milkshakes in honor of Jenny 🥤. #barnesandnoblesigning #authorsigning #yourlifehasbeendelayed

So, here's a thing you might not know about me--I So, here's a thing you might not know about me--I love vampire stories, and it started way before Twilight or even Buffy (although I am the proud owner of the Buffy box set in this picture). But even I am not as much of a vampire aficionado as Victoria and her dad in VAMPIRES, HEARTS & OTHER DEAD THINGS by @margiefuston.  I loved how this story took a new and frankly heartbreaking approach to vampires. In this world, vampires have revealed themselves as real but then went into hiding, after which many people believe the reveal was a hoax. But Victoria and her dad still believe, which becomes even more important when her dad's cancer becomes terminal. A vampire may be her only hope to save him. She travels to New Orleans to find one, accompanied by her estranged best friend, Henry, and finds Nicholas, who gives her a series of tasks to prove she loves life in order to earn the chance to become a vampire herself. There are so many gorgeous layers to this story as Victoria struggles to perform the tasks that force her to live when she's facing the imminent loss of her father. Plus, there is some major baggage with Henry, who is more than her best friend, and serious romantic tension with Nicholas too. I was already intrigued by the setup of this story, and it gave me so much more than I anticipated. It's both an emotional journey and a touristy jaunt through historic New Orleans. I highly recommend you pick up this gorgeous debut young adult novel!
