This Week: BEA!
Hi! Everyone! How are you guys? What have you been up to?
What did I do this week? Well I’m so glad you asked. Lol. I attended
BEA for the first time ever. If you are unsure what that is according to their
website, BEA “the leading North American
publishing event that brings you what’s new and what’s next in book
publishing.”
Wow! It was amazing and honestly a little overwhelming.
The first day the only thing in my head was “wow, this is so cool. What do I want
to do now?” What I did was stand on line to meet amazing authors and get some
books signed. I walked around taking everything in, and I met so many wonderful
people. While I was doing that I forgot to take pictures, I got a few but my
phone was being a boob, so sorry. What I really loved about BEA was that it was
in my city so I didn’t have to worry about traveling too much. I was a fabulous
time, if you can go next you totally should. Though one downside was the pain,
my arms, shoulders, feet and legs hate me and I understand why but it was
totally worth it.
This is what I came home with on day one.

Day 3. The first thing I did when I got there
was went the signing of Shine by Jeri Smith-Ready, and here is she.
I honestly can’t remember what line this was
for but this was how it looked from where I was standing.
This was the end of BEA. I was sitting on a
bench with my suitcase and homemade PB&J sandwich waiting to be picked up.
I took this lonely empty sad looking picture to express how felt having to go
home.
This is what I took home at the end of the day.
This is picture of all of the books that I got.
Right now they’re all stacked and homeless looking because honestly I have no
place for them.

ReplyDeleteI see some great books in those stacks. Guess you're going to need another bookshelf. BEA was so much fun, can't wait 'til next year and do it all over again. It was nice meeting you there :)
