You’ll note that this post is being posted several days after the fact. Okay, more than several days. That is because Day 3 of BEA took some interesting twists and turns, and I was too busy having adventures to come back to the hotel and write a post. Okay, I lied. The real reason isRead more
An account of my day, from a zombie’s perspective. I think I got more exercise today than I normally do in a week, just from being at Javits and walking around NYC, and I’m not quite sure how I’m awake right now. But I like to do my BEA posts on the day of, otherwiseRead more
Of all the years that I’ve gone to BEA, this one was the least planned on my end. I planned on going, of course, but work got crazy, and I didn’t have that much time to figure out logistics until last minute. My adventure begins, as usual, on a Megabus. I don’t actually believe thatRead more
Today marks the kickoff of Armchair BEA. Last year, I had the opportunity to attend Book Expo America in New York City, and it was a fantastic experience. However, I took a major break from blogging at the end of 2012 (between grad school and a new job, life got really busy) and only recentlyRead more
June was an exciting month for me, as it marked my attendance of Book Expo America for the first time. My posts about BEA can be found here: BEA Excursion, the Prologue BEA Excursion, Arrival and The Strand BEA Excursion, Day 1 BEA Excursion, Day 2 BEA Excursion, Day 3 (and special treasures) So I don’t need to buy booksRead more

Today was the third and final day of BEA, although I’ll still be in New York until tomorrow afternoon. It was a lot calmer than the previous two days of exhibits, largely because it closed at 3. I picked up some more books, although not quite as many this time. I didn’t realize just howRead more
Before I get into today’s post, I just want to take a moment to mention that Ray Bradbury died. May he rest in peace. Now, onward to BEA… no picture with this update, because I am exhausted and being lazy. I thought yesterday was chaotic. I was mistaken. Apparently today was supposed to be theRead more
Today marked the start of Book Expo America, otherwise known as librarian/bookworm/blogger heaven. It was so heavenly, in fact, that I entirely forgot to eat lunch. There were just so many distractions! I woke up this morning and headed to the Javits Center, where I saw for the first time the controlled chaos of BEA. Read more
I got to NYC today around lunchtime, which gave me an excellent excuse to get some NYC pizza. Both Geoff W and The Dungeon Master suggested that I check out The Strand, which is a huge bookstore boasting 18 miles of bookshelves. I was impressed, and I picked up two books while I was there:Read more
