I’m so happy to announce that I’m attending BEA this year! What’s BEA you ask? BEA, or Book Expo America, is the biggest, most ginormously fun book conference on the planet!
BEA is THE conference to attend in the book industry; everyone and anyone who likes books is there. So you’ll have book bloggers, book sellers, librarians, authors, book publishers, book illustrators, coffee (goes with books), reporters, and more from all over the world to discuss books. I went last year and had the time of my life. As you’ll see from the collage below, there isn’t anything I didn’t do, except sleep much!
I’d like to thank Thien-Kim of I’m Not the Nanny and Rachee of Say it Rah Shay for tolerating me last year. Kim and Rachee and I are in the From Left To Write, an online book club so we knew each other going into the trip. Rachee and I are in the Philly area and I stalk see her as much as I can. Fun fact #1: Rachee is a real live librarian who works in a library! Fun fact #2: I’m a certified librarian, but I work in a bookstore!
So anyway, you can see from the collage that the three of us met everyone, took every book, and met every challenge that was presented to us!
I expect this year to be no different: I’ve got a full agenda lined up and I hope to meet some new book blogging friends, learn about some new books, and maybe make some new connections.
My dance card is filling up so if you want to get next to me while I’m in New York, leave a message down below, I love making new friends!
