Author Event/Signing with Paula Hawkins --- The Girl on the Train

Paula Hawkins Reading Her Novel

Happy news for me! I attended my first author event/signing of 2015. Paula Hawkins, the best-selling author of The Girl on the Train came to Towne Center Books in Pleasanton, California on Friday, February 6, 2015. 

The festivities began at 7pm with Ms. Hawkins reading a bit from her new novel, The Girl on the Train, followed by a Q & A session, where the audience members were able to ask Ms. Hawkins questions and lastly, Ms. Hawkins signed copies of her novel for those who had purchased it.

Quite a large crowd of people showed up for this author event... No surprise! I really enjoyed attending it. I haven't read The Girl on the Train yet, but it sounds awesome from the plot summary and reviews I've read about it online. So, I was excited to have my hardback copy of The Girl on the Train signed by the author at the end of the evening.

I thought Paula Hawkins was an interesting person to hear speak... She's funny and engaging. I liked her answers to many of the questions that various audience members asked for her. She gave some really thoughtful answers and seems like a pretty cool person.

At the end of the evening, she signed novels. I can't believe that I forgot to have my picture taken with her while she was signing my copy of The Girl on the Train!!
