The frequently asked questions keep coming!

A lot of people, I suppose, see my little collection of signed books from Bookstagram and what not and always ask me where they can get their own. 

And honestly, if you really look, signed books are very easy to find. 

But of course, if you are reading this, perhaps you aren't sure where to get your favourite book signed by the author who changed your life or you want to get your bookish friend a give that will surprise them and also feel quite unique from the rest of them. 

So today, I'll tell you a handful of places to get signed books. 

Book Signings 

Of course, we should start with the obvious first and that is: book signings. Just like musicians and artists have tours after a new album, authors usually have book signings and book tours after the release of a new book. Depending on the popularity of the author, the book tours can either consist of you meeting the author or you attend a Q&A book event with the author. Regardless, you get to go home with a signed book -- which is also personalized! 

But, perhaps, lets say you can't make it to your favourite author's book signing and you're okay with your favourite author not writing your name in the book; there are other ways to get signed books. 

Your Local Bookstore 

Because I typically speak on behalf of my North American readers -- because I do live in Canada, I tend to always mention Barnes and Noble and Chapters/Coles/Indigo. 

Although, I'm sure if you live internationally, your big box bookstores are probably the same. And if not, you can order online from either companies. 

Both book retailers have a spot on their site where you can view books that are signed. Many popular authors such as Sarah Dessen, Sarah J Maas, John Green, Leigh Bardugo etc etc. have signed books on either sites. 

I noticed that the selection of signed books is bigger on the American side (through Barnes and Noble) than through the Canadian side. Perhaps because most authors are American. But both have quite an array to choose from.
