Earlier today, Beautiful Creatures stars, Zoey Deutch & Thomas Mann made their way to a place that I’ve frequented since 2004, Cherry Hill Mall in NJ.

The event was fantastic! It was very well organized, the talent was so sweet, and since I was first in line, I got everything that I wanted signed (and took photos of course). So all in all, my first meet & greet of the year was a success!

I brought Beautiful Creatures by Margaret Stohl & Kami Garcia as well as Beautiful Creatures: The Official Illustrated Movie Companion to get signed (Deutch & Mann hadn’t seen the latter until now) and upon arrival, received a Beautiful Creatures chain and the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Music by thenewno2). I cannot wait to listen to the soundtrack!

Other swag included BC themed stickers, posters, phone screen cleaners…oh and advanced screening tickets! Woot! How exciting! Aside from the swag, getting my books signed, and meeting two very talented actors, the event started on time and the event staff was so friendly! It’s not often both of these things happen, so bravo. Everything about this event was wonderful. Thanks to Deutch and Mann, Macy’s, Wired 96.5, The CW Philly, AMC Loews Theater, and of course The WB for making this event so memorable! I had a blast and I cannot wait to see Beautiful Creatures come to life on the big screen (as well as see Deutch act alongside her mom on an upcoming episode of ABC Family’s Switched At Birth). There are still a few mall tour dates, though the tour is very limited (one week only) so be sure to check dates here.
