Overall BEA Recap

If you're from BEA and are checking out WORD for the first time since I met you, welcome! Feel free to explore around and what have you.

Note: There IS a vlog and a picture slideshow. Apparently, you can only see them if you view the entire post. Blogger's being ridiculous today. *annoyed face*



That was it. The end of BookExpo America 2010.

... I'm already planning for 2011.



I met a whole bunch of awesome authors and bloggers - those are just the best pictures from the day. All of the authors can be found below the cut; they're the books that are autographed. (Bree Despain being the exception to this rule; she and Susan were waiting on line for Rise of Renegade X and I joined them.) Like I said in the vlog and in the pictures, I met Carol and Kristi and Erica and Susan and Mitali and Chelsea and they're all really nice. I had such a fun time with them. And it was awesome to introduce myself to some of the authors and have them go, "Oh, I read your blog!"

Yeah. I had fun. Mind you, I'm writing this post with barely any sleep and having run purely on adrenaline for the past few days, so I'm not going to go into a deep summary or anything. Y'all get the gist.



The full list of books I got is under the cut. Eep. o.o

I'm working on the entire list link-wise. The pile is HUGE, and I wanted to get this post up. They're in alphabetical order by title, just like I arrange my reviews.

All links go to Goodreads. And you can click the photo to make it bigger.

  1. Do you get those books for free? Also, did you spend your time mostly in the book blogger convention?

  2. Lisa - Once you walk into BEA, everything is free with the exception of some merchandise, which is labeled. And I actually spent no time in the Book Blogger Convention! *tears* I could only miss two days of school, so I chose Wed. and Thurs., which were the two main BEA days. Friday I was at school. Exhausted.

  4. I hate 'choo. =[

    Only not really... I really want to go to BEA, it looks so awesome. And I'd pretty much sell my soul for Matched or Clockwork Angel. =P

  8. Thanks for sharing all of this! Your pictures are really cute and I enjoyed hearing your stories :)

  9. Look how organized you are! :) Pics and a list of the books that you had autographed!

    I am still in New York and do not fly out until tomorrow. I had a blast too :D

  10. Whoa, you did great! Looks like you got several titles I was too late for, and totally jealous you were able to get Zombie vs. Unicorns! *L*

    Loved the whole BEA experience, but having to choose between authors and panels that all seemed to be scheduled at the same time was tough. :(

    Enjoy all of your new books!

  11. Alexia - They scheduled all the YA people at the same time for 'YA Hour.' ... they're morons. Don't they think the people who would go to one YA author might like to, you know, go to the /others/!? *shakes head*

  12. I'm thinking of starting a countdown to next year's BEA. I HAVE to get there for sure.

  14. That just sounds like so much fun!

    I wish they had something like this in Dallas, even if it was on a smaller scale.

    It was worth being tired at school on Friday, huh?

    ReplyDelete
  15. Yes, it is a superb haul! I hope you enjoy Invisible Things! (When you get to it!)

  16. K - I hope you can make it! It's a lot of fun.

    Tricia - Hi! I love our picture, too. =)

    Melina - Totally worth it.

    Jenny - Oh! Hi! *waves* It's one of the first ones I plan on getting to once I weed through the library books I have. =D
