BEA (Book Expo America) or Bust


I am so excited about this weekend! I will be in NYC for BEA!! Last year was my first time going, and it was a blast! There was so much going on, and on top of that, it was my first time in NYC. Of course I had to mix in book fun with site seeing. I still don't know how I crammed in so much into the 5 days I was there. Check out last year's fun here.

This year will be a little bit more laid back, but still just as exciting. I'm so thrilled that this year I was approved for a Press Pass! I fly out tonight and will be at BEA for two full days on Friday and Saturday. I'm excited about some of the publisher events / meetings I will be going to. Bummed I couldn't go out earlier in the week to attend some exciting events that took place yesterday and today., but I've loved seeing everyone's pictures from the events. Once I'm there I'll be posting pictures from the events and from around BEA via twitter | instagram | tumblr facebook

On Saturday CASSANDRA CLARE will be there. If you're going to her signings, you'll see me there!!

A huge part of the fun of going to BEA is meeting publishers, authors and online book friends. If you're at BEA, I'd love to see you! I won't be blogging while there. I look forward to doing a write up about this weekend when I get back. Have a great weekend!


Armchair BEA


Can't make it to BEA? Attend Armchair BEA!!!

Book Expo of America, known as BEA, has kicked off this week! That means many bloggers will descend upon NYC for this week long book conference which includes publisher parties, author signings & much more. Plus, it's in NYC!!! Attending BEA is not an option for everyone, which is how Armchair BEA started!


I love this week long, international online blogger party. Since it started a few years ago, I have taken part in this every year until last year when I was able to attend BEA. I highly recommend this for those who are not able to be in NYC for BEA, to join this event. There are daily giveaways, chats and more. It's a really fun event to take part of. Plus it's fun to have the experience of BEA from the comforts of your own home. Join the fun HERE! Follow them on Twitter.
