What I'm Psyched for at BEA 2013
- Meeting my fellow book bloggers
- I cannot wait to meet all of you out there in the book-blogging world. It will be so much fun to actually talk face-to-face, and not just in comments.
- Meeting some authors
- I have no idea which ones I'll actually get to meet (I didn't know you had to buy tickets for certain "celebrity" authors), but even if I just get to meet one, I'll be doing a happy dance inside for months.
- Friday's Author Breakfast
- When I decided to get a ticket for the breakfast, the only author I knew for sure was going to be there was Veronica Roth. I was on her blog, and her calendar said she'd be there. So I went to the website to sign up, and OMG! Rick Riordan's going to be there too! I love everything he's written and I'm SO psyched to see him.
- Meeting publishers
- Has anyone else been contacted by a bunch of publishers/bookish people? I was really surprised to hear from anyone, but I've scheduled at least one meet with a publishing group. And I'm excited to meet some of the others because... I'm hoping to promote myself. Please, PLEASE hire me!
- FREE Books!
- I honestly had no idea people got free books at BEA, until I was reading someone else's blog about BEA 2012, and she said she went home with bags of free books. I was definitely not prepared for that. I mean, I was already pumped to go, but this is just the icing on the cake!
In case any of you read this before tomorrow, I'm including a more recent photo of me. It's from March so my hair is different now (much shorter) and I'm ten pounds lighter than I was then, but it'll still give you a good idea of what I look like. That's me on the right in black, hanging out with my two best friends for their birthdays. So if you see me there, feel free to say hello! :)
