These young'uns... don't know they're born.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obiyoda Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 this sounds pretty good, hope that Showmasters can get some other authors as well, Terry Brooks? Jonathan Maberry (he writes comics as well so double whammy). Shaun hutson perhaps? Thomas Emson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prophecygirl Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Can't wait for this. I'm guessing we just need to buy LFCC tickets as normal, or will it be a whole separate thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Can't wait for this. I'm guessing we just need to buy LFCC tickets as normal, or will it be a whole separate thing?

Starbuck17 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Rainbow Rowell is a HUGE guest. She is dominating YA at the moment and the quality of her writing is amazeing. SO EXCITED! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naurarwen_fangorn Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Everyone I suggest you go and see Lucy Saxon. She's amazing! Her new book Take Back the Skies is out 5th June! So get it bought and signed by her at the event :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clairefun Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Wow - what a list! I can only go on the Saturday (my mum's 75th the next day!) but I'm terribly excited. Charlie HIgson! Darren Shan! Derek Landy! (my 10 year old is terribly excited) Patrick Ness! Rainbow Rowell! Sarah Crossan! I mean...blimey. *runs away to re-read 'Breathe'* Â I've been coming to LFCC since 2004?2005? Not sure (it all gets a bit of a blur when you're my age! ) and I lovelovelove that it changes and evolves, and now to have something as lovely as this added too - I hope it's such an amazing success it happens every year. NOW I have to weigh up what money to save for autos and what money to save for books. What a *terrible* choice to have to make! Â (PS I choose both) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6712943dan Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 will the authors (e.g. andrew lane - young sherlock holmes) be signing copies of their books if i bring them along? and will it be free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted April 28, 2014 Moderators Share Posted April 28, 2014 A full schedule of events will be posted before the event. These details haven't been confirmed yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joany@CravingPages Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 This is awesome! I'm a Dutch Bookblogger/Booktuber, and we rarely get author visits over here in the Netherlands. That's why I've summoned several other Dutch bookbloggers and we are heading over to #YALC this year as sort of a field trip. We're extremely excited to meet some of our favourite authors and I can hardly wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogsoldierspoon Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Question though! I know authors usually sign for free, but will they sign multiple books? My sister's not attending LFCC and would like me to get some of her books signed. Would the authors have a problem signing two books? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wondermoose Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I havent heard of basicly anyone of theese, Ive actually bought Scullduggery Pleasant cause of this, cause I would like to see how that is. Â I would love some recomendations from people, I like urban fantasy like Dresden Files, Harry Potter is awesome. Not that into vampires really... horror if its like Lovecraft. Steampunk is also nice. Â Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steampunk is also nice. Â Thanks in advance. Â II'm planning to read some of these myself out of sheer curiosity as well. My sister's an avid reader of these young adult novels. Out of the bunch she says The Enemy (from Charlie Higson) is really good and brutal (it's more zombie themed). As well as Sally Green's Half Bad. I'm reading my first of the bunch now: the Elites by Natasha Ngan. It's pretty entertaining so far but it reminds me of Divergent a bit. Can't help you much more though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marston Cutler Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I've started reading a few of these authors out of curiosity since they've been announced and really enjoyed everything so far. Charlie Higson - Young Bond novels are good fun and I've really enjoyed the first of his zombie ones. I read all the Darren Shan vampire ones when they first came out, if you want to save time then the first 3 were filmed as The Vampire's Assistant. The books are better than the film but that'll give you a taste. I've just finished Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell which was a really sweet and heartbreaking love story. The Skulduggery Pleasant series by Derek Landy are wonderful. Decent adventure, likeable heroine, fantastic action. Really hope they make a movie from them. Tried my first Malorie Blackman book last week. Boys Don't Cry. I don't usually read more serious themed books but this was totally engaging, will definitely read more of hers. Anthony McGowan writes fantastic stuff too, my favourite of his is one of his earlier ones called Henry Tumour. Serious issue, original idea, dark humour. Next up I'll be trying More Than This by Patrick Ness, have heard lots of good reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jola Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Can I just say on behalf of my "Not so Mini Me" that this was a totally awesome feature of LFCC and in her words, the best thing ever! Huge congratulations to Malorie Blackman and of course Gemma for organising this all - I know I spoke to many a happy blogger and YA book fan. So.... question is - when's the next one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapfairy Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Despite all the problems with the con, have to say YALC was the best bit for me! Loved the free swag stand, the beanbag area surrounded by books, the Waterstones stand, the book bloggers... Since it was so busy I only got one autograph from Patrick Ness but he was lovely, and I caught the last half of the fantasy talk which was fun and interesting.
