Oh man, this looks AMAZING! I’m so glad you had a great time, but I’m wildly jealous all the same :).

In reply to Jennine G.. Jennine, you know me- I never read books early! Maybe one month before they're released. But maybe with December being so slow I'll try a few!

In reply to Laura Stanfill. Thank yo uso much for stopping by! I had a great time because it was so open and relaxed. None of the crazy lines you get at BEA.

In reply to Kelly.

If crowds make you uncomfortable then BEA will require Valium with a whiskey chaser! I’m with you, though, I won’t be going to BEA again until it gets closer to home, so Chicago it is!

Maybe take a look and see if you can find the independent booksellers association in your area. It’s the perfect size show to start with.

Ummmm that pile of books is making me SALIVATE. I’ve never been to a book show, though I’ve been dying to go to BEA ever since I started blogging. Seriously considering going when it moves to Chicago in a couple years. My kids are so young now that it’s hard for me to justify going, but by 2016 I may be able to sneak out. 🙂 I do worry about the crowds though…I get awful stressed in big crowds! Valium will be needed! Haha.

Wonderful show writeup and it’s fun to see your photos! I was there as an exhibitor and loved the enthusiasm of all the buyers and authors and participants.

This really does look/sound like a perfectly-sized event! SO glad you had a wonderful time!

Fun! If you post an up and coming of good picks for 2015, I’ll know it’s trustworthy, cause you’ll have already read some of them!

In reply to Cynthia Robertson. True, Cynthia! Instead, because it's a regional show, I was able to park a block away and just fill a tote bag, empty it, and go back! Crazy but I didn't even take all the books that were offered to me.

In reply to Shannon @ River City Reading. I thought the same thing about regional differences when I linked to your post! And, of course, you had a couple that looked good that I might have passed over so I was cursing myself!
