I am attempting to make this a
one
stop place to find book signings in the San Francisco Bay Area! I will
mostly focus on YA books, but I will also include some general fiction
if I think it will be of interest. I think this is an extensive list,
but there is always the possibility that I missed an event (Hey, I'm
human). If you think there is an event that I should include, please
leave me a note in the comments section. Thanks.
All graphics have links to GoodReads so you can check them out.
As always, it is a good idea to call the store a day or two before to confirm that the scheduled event is still on. I have learned that these events change constantly.
