BEA16 Day 1
And so today was my first day at my first EVER live BEA – instead of ArmchairBEA – which is very nice too!
It was really neat to meet face to face book blogger sI have followed for a while or recently, for instance
-
Leslie at Under My Apple Tree
-
Deb at Readerbuzz
-
Kim at Caffeinated Book Reviewer
-
Lexie at UnConventional Book Views
-
Loretta at Still Dreaming of Manderley
-
Jennifer at The Reader’s Room
-
Cindy at Thoughts on This ‘n That
-
Christine at Makanaka’s World
-
and many more!
Today, I exclusively stayed with the Bloggers Conference.
I’ll do later a post on the keynote, the two morning panels, and what I learned at the 3 table talks I participated in after noon.
The crowd is mostly young (one of our panelists was 17), but there are a few other white hair here and there.
Most of the giveaways today were aimed at YA, which I do not read too much, so I didn’t get these.
There will be plenty of ARCs to grab tomorrow and Friday, and I plan to be very picky and not to bring back home 200 books.
But I did get a cool tote-bag. Can you guess which title I just wrote on it??
I love your post.
So fun seeing who you met.
Have a wonderful time. I agree on being selective with choosing books.
Looking forward to more of your posts. Love the tote.

LOL…oh yes.
I hope someone told you to bring a suitcase that you can check.
I didn’t know you were going or I would have made sure you knew.

I knew, but I live in a Chicago suburb, so no need really. and that’s why I was there, could never afford BEA in NY

Great you are in a Chicago suburb.
I always stay with my son in NY so that saves a lot. 🙂
Great you knew about the suitcase. I was worried since you said ti was bad on your back.
Night, safe travels if you aren’t home yet.

I live in the suburb, just 20 mn from downtown by train. I didn’t go to Book Con, the expense was enough for me for 3 days

Very nice.
I never went to Book Con either.

it sounds like pure madness, but there seems to be a lot of interesting panels (more than at BEA)
