I think one of my favorite things about signed books is that, generally, I get to meet the author when I get the books signed. I talked about autographed books back in, like, 2015, but I thought it would be fun to highlight them again, particularly the authors' signatures.

I think it's also interesting to see if authors' signatures change any. Observe below, in the case of my hardcover copy of The Start of Me and You, which was signed in June 2015, and my paperback copy, which was signed in September 2016.

The "Live Your Life" part looks pretty much the same (except for how she wrote "Live" and the r in "Your"), but the main difference I notice is that she only signed her first name in the most recent copy. She also only signed her first name in my copy of When We Collided. Interesting, isn't it?

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go practice my author signature.
