Indianapolis Books A Million: Crazy Faces and Super Fun Fans

Our first event of the day was amazeballs! Indy fans, you were amazing sports, taking crazy face photos with us and generally being totally cool. Lots of amazing hair passed through our line today, too. Is there something in the water in Indiana that makes you have killer tresses?

At any rate, the crowd was big. Like 185 people big.

The crowd at @booksamillion in Indy is hugggeeee. Thanks for coming out today, guys!! #FallInLoveTour #Indianapolis pic.twitter.com/jJpqWQIzyx

Twas a blast. Can't wait for more fun tonight in Chicago. See ya'll there, 7PM sharp!

P.S. Have you seen our official sponsor's blog post today? Amber at Me, My Shelf and I asked our authors a pretty crazy question, and the answers will make you belly laugh. It's a doozy!

Dayton, Ohio and the case of the protruding tree

Sunday, September 7th. 1:00PM. We arrive at Books & Co in Dayton, Ohio, ready and raring to get our video interview on. But a tree adjacent to our designated bus parking spot has other ideas...

It wants to scratch the wrap off our bus. We persevere nonetheless, and look good doing it.

Ted, the videographer, comes on board and Jamie, Abbi and Colleen look cute answering his questions. Video TK!

And finally, the pièce de résistance, the actual event! Great questions from some of our most dedicated fans, more fun fan-made tees, and lots and lots of books to sign.

#Dayton, you're beautiful!! Biggest crowd yet. Now let's get to the Q&A? pic.twitter.com/s6ujM1x0o0

Three hours later, we finally got on the road to Indianapolis, Indiana. We made it safe and sound, and even got to sample the "local cuisine" at P.F. Chang's, apparently Colleen Hoover's fave.

So that was our day! Hope you Dayton fans had a blast, Indy and Chicago, see you later!!

Episode 1.5 -- halfway through our second day on the bus!

First of all -- have you seen this really fun interview with our official sponsor today over at Romancing the Book? Find out more about the inspiration behind Abbi, Jamie and Colleen's newest books, what they find attractive in the opposite sex, and some other fun and zany questions...http://romancing-the-book.com/2014/09/anniversary-interview-contest-jamie-mcguire-colleen-hoover-abbi-glines.html

Secondly, how fun were you, Rochester? We had a really amazing visit at the Barnes and Noble in Pittsford Plaza. Awesome fans, lots of t-shirts, really wonderful questions and a whole ton of laughter. Check out some of the highlights.

Abbi Glines, Jamie McGuire and Colleen Hoover looking gorgeous, as usual.

This awesome fan painted book specific pieces for each of these ladies! How cool is that?! (And how sweet is her hair?!)

Fall In Love Tour Tattoos are ready for you!! (Temporary, of course. Couldn't handle the heart attack this year...)

Last but not least, Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs is tonight! MS is always super duper fun, and this year should be just as exciting. See you there at 7:30PM for a revealing Q&A followed by a signing with our lovely ladies.
