I love book signings. The volume of books signed to me shows just how vast my collection is. I enjoy the whole experience: meeting authors, talking with fellow readers and swapping book recommendations.

When I returned from Tennessee, I ventured to Pocket Books in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

Pocket Books ‘is an eclectic feminist bookstore owned & operated by three besties with a passion for great literature.’

It’s a beautiful spot with a great curation of books and merch.

Megan Becker was celebrating the release of her newest novel, Band Mates. She was in conversation with Lindsay Hameroff. They were great together and were so funny. I laughed a lot during their talk.

About Band Mates

By all appearances, Mia Montgomery has it all: a successful career in music, a great apartment in L.A., and Julie-her best friend since kindergarten. What Mia doesn't have is the man she's been in love with since they were teenagers: Julie's brother, Elliott.

Mia expects to spend a trip home writing new songs for her band and reconnecting with Julie. But then there's Elliott, shirtless in the kitchen of his parents' house on her first night back, and it doesn't take him long to suggest a mutually beneficial arrangement while Mia's in town.

Torn between a decades-old promise to Julie, a growing friendship with Elliott's daughter, and her own desires, Mia navigates the complexities of pursuing anything with Elliott-especially when they both seem all too willing to break the rules they've put in place.

Will Mia and Elliott finally drum up a romance?
Or will their well-orchestrated plans hit all the wrong notes?

After their talk, Megan and Lindsay were available to sign their books.
