To say this past week was awesomely bookish is an understatement. I attended BEA (Book Expo America) in NYC. A week long celebration of books!
More exciting than the books was meeting up with blogging friends! Spending the week with other book lovers who “get” me? Priceless!
Friday was Book Blogger Con, a day jam-packed full of sessions! Topics ranged from technology in book blogging to ethics. I was privileged to sit on a panel about the Practical Challenges of Blogging. I revealed my slightly obsessive method of cataloging & scheduling review copies.
Overall, a great time was had by all. I’ll do a bit more of a recap later on (or not!) once my brain has fully recovered.
Absolutely nothing happened on the blog this week, but the ladies of One More Page Bookstore did appear in Shelf Awareness last Monday, along with authors Eleanor Brown and Sarah Pekkanen!
Speaking of One More Page, I’m super excited that Rebecca Rasmussen, author of The Bird Sisters will be paying a visit to the store this Tuesday at 7 PM. I adored The Bird Sisters and can’t wait to meet Rebecca in person!
To wrap up this post, following are a few pictures taken while at BEA & BBC:

Final night in New York City: overlooking Times Square
I’m still rounding up pictures others have taken & hope to put them in an album on Tumblr or something similar.
Happy Memorial Weekend to you all!

What a fantastic week! I got a picture with Spiderman too, but I took it with my phone so I could send it to my son. It was fantastic seeing you again!
What a fabulous trip! Thank you for sharing with us…
Oh fun! It’s funny to look through all of the snapshots from blogger meetups and events because I just have no idea what people I communicate with everyday look like in real person. Pretty neat. Thanks so much for sharing!
Great pictures! I love how everyone had a slightly different experience at BEA and an really enjoying all of the recaps! How on earth did I miss Spiderman? Lucky girl! *L*
Sounds like so much fun Jenn. Thanks for sharing your pics. Next year for sure I will be there and perhaps even BBC.
Enjoy your Memorial Day

Great post — even if I had to look twice because that photo of me doesn’t even look like me. LOL.

Aww, yay — a very fun recap! I had such a great time in New York City and at the BBC and am struggling to get back to into “real” life — even with Memorial Day to recover! It was great working with you on our panel and I really appreciated your insights into blogging — especially where your spreadsheets are concerned!

I love the picture of you and SpiderMan! I saw him, but I usually run the other way from life-sized cartoon characters
