I don’t know about all of you going to the Book Expo this year, but I’m so excited. Beyond excited, truthfully. It is all my friends and family have heard me talk about for months now. Maybe because it’s my first time as a blogger. Or, because it’s such a great event. I’d say both, really. Recently, the good people at BEA FINALLY posted the panels for their conference. Now, the panels for the Wednesday Blogger convention has been posted for some time and looks great in my opinion. Tiger Beat looks like a blast. Some of the panels, particularly the writing one, looks fun and interesting.
Now, on to the actual conference panels. I decided I’ll give you fellow bloggers some highlights of the panels listed this year in case you haven’t checked them out yet. Of course, to see the full list, you just scroll down on Conferences, choose the appropriate conference, then ta da, have fun looking at the fun events. Or, if you want to add them to your show planner like I did, just log in and click on Education and authors. From there, you can select a track, type of event such as autograph sessions (which I will be doing another full post on), category, and speaker.
Off to the panels!! I won’t be listing any of Wednesday’s, obviously, because you should all be in the blogger’s conference so I can meet ya.

See you there!

Why, oh why aren’t they posting similar information for BookCon yet? This waiting is horrible!
Which of these panels do you think you’re going to attend?
Apr 26, 2014 @ 12:52:27
I’m attending a couple of the later ones. Mostly YA ones. I’m going to do the speed dating, too. Probably get there late since 1-2 I have a bunch of signings I want to go to.
Apr 28, 2014 @ 01:47:48
Oh, yeah, I forgot the signings were going on in between those as well. It’s almost like they need another two or three days for the event!
Apr 28, 2014 @ 01:58:38
Yeah, it’s tough. I’ll make do though. Did you get my text about Rick Riordon?
Apr 28, 2014 @ 02:20:19
Just got it now, no biggie, but thanks for letting me know! I’m thinking I’m going to be using my pass for Cary Elwes anyway, he’s such an incredible actor and to get a signed ARC of his autobiography would be amazing!

Yeah, I didn’t see him signing on Wednesday-Friday. So, you should be good. 32 days for me. And 35 for you, I think. I suck at math. So exciting!!! Friday is my busiest day.
I’ll be posting on Friday important signings. Saturday included, if I stumble on some. I think I did.
