For Prime Video, Obsession Is In Session - at least, at the YA event called Obsessed Fest. Obsessed Fest is part of the streamer's larger Obsession Is In Session initiative, meant to highlight the studio's bold commitment to being the leading destination for young adult audiences" through shows like Off Campus, Every Year After, Elle, Sterling Point, The Last Sunrise, and The Love Hypothesis. 

Obsessed Fest is set to take place on June 27 in Los Angeles and will transform "online fandom into a live, participatory celebration where fans can connect, discover, and engage like never before," according to a press release from Prime Video. The event will include first looks at upcoming shows, "curated binges in a dedicated screening room," "exclusive merch drops," "food experiences inspired by on-screen moments," alongside appearances from cast and crew. 

If you're a YA book fan, you're in luck, because the event will also include a Book Club focusing on author signings, workshops, and "curated bookshelves," the latter of which I am genuinely curious about, because I'm not sure what that means. I understand some of my fellow book lovers keep their shelves at home meticulously organized and neat for their "shelfies," or pictures of one's bookshelf, so perhaps that's what "curated bookshelves" is referring to? All the power to them, though (my shelves are chaos).

Anyways, tickets for Obsessed Fest are on sale right now here. And more information about guests appearing at the show will be announced soon.
