Wow! My school would never do that lol. I once attended a Zoom session with Sudha Murty, where she talked about her new book and answered our questions, but that's the closest I've been to meeting an author.

I met an author of a children's picture book in year 6? I was daydreaming the whole time though 😂

I've also seen Laini Taylor a lot cuz she lives in my city. I still have yet to read any of her books but I'll just be at a book signing in my city and look over and she's right there next to me.
