The third and final day of Book Expo. By day three your shoulders hurt, you are usually pretty tired, and all you want is a massage. Luckily the last day tends to be a little less crazy and busy.
I really wanted to meet Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian so the Burn for Burn signing was my first stop that day (after a quick booth walk around). Both Jenny and Siobhan were lovely, and Siobhan recalled my blog from when I had Burn for Burn as my Waiting on Wednesday. Again, totally mind blowing that authors would remember me or my blog. I will never get used to it. They also had cute little bottles of sunblock to give out at the signing. I had gotten my 2 bottles in the package of goodies from Teen Author Carnival!
I read Burn for Burn on the bus ride home and I REALLY liked it! I am already dying for book two!
I also went to signings for A Fractured Light by Jocelyn Davies, and 34 Pieces of You by Carmen Rodrigues.
The day ended early and I bid farewell to NYC with plans to return next June!
To all the authors, amazing bloggers, and publishers I met during Book Expo - Thank you for making this an incredible experience.
Books from day three are
Burn for Burn by Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian (goodreads)
A Fractured Light by Jocelyn Davies (goodreads)
34 Pieces of You by Carmen Rodrigues (goodreads)
Poison Princess by Kresley Cole (goodreads)
I also managed to meet Claire Legrand and fangirl over Winterspell. I am so excited about this book (and it doesn't come out for TWO years).
I am already counting down the days until next year's BEA and can't wait to see what awaits in 2013!

ReplyDeleteChoosing the right wine glass also depends on what you are drinking, certain wines preform better in certain types of stemware.
ReplyDeleteAuthors are the SWEETEST! I love that you were recognised a few times from your posts about their books :D
ReplyDeleteVERY excited to read your thoughts about Burn for Burn. And Poison Princess sounds SO good. ANNND you got to squee with a 2013 author! (of a book that sounds effing AMAZING). Gah, Kathy. What an incredible experience BEA was for you! I SO would love to go. If I make it in the following years, we'll definitely have to meet up :D
(I hope you managed to get a massage after those 3 days!)
Thanks for stopping by the signing! I'm glad you enjoyed BEA. :)
