The books are here! The books are here! Well, there were a little hidden when I first discovered them; and now I am sharing them with you. With only three weeks to go, here are SOME of the book titles that I think look good, are by well known authors, and have catchy titles. I’m not listing all of them because there are just so many. If you want to see the full list, and it hasn’t been made easily accessible yet, you can search for it the same way as the authors. In the blue box there is a link for it.
*= books I’m excited for/am going to try to pick-up.

There you have it. Lots of books. And lots more I didn’t even mention! What books are YOU looking forward to grabbing? Remember, a lot of the authors are doing signings for their books, too. So you may want to double check if they are/if you like books signed. I know it can start to take up too much of your day.
If you’re coming for the Blogger’s Conference, only 22 days left!!
The App is live and ready. Have you downloaded it yet? I am waiting on my badge number, then it’s time to play and plan more.
Happy reading!! And, happy planning! It’s going to be a fun time!!

So many amazing books, though the brief synopses on the BEA site hardly do them justice!
You should have gotten your badge number when you first registered, that’s how I knew mine. Of course after I installed the BEA app, I saw that there’s going to be a BookCon specific app, so I’m going to wait and see which one is better for my purposes 🙂
May 07, 2014 @ 15:18:08
I lost it somehow. I can’t find the email. The guy who can give it to me is away til next Tuesday. Oi. I think book con is better for you. I thought it was out already. I missed you last night!
May 07, 2014 @ 16:01:26
Eek. I’m pretty sure there’s some sort of link on the site for them to resend it though. Worth checking out instead of waiting til next Tuesday just in case!
Last I checked it wasn’t unfortunately. But then I should be grateful the information is up on the site, never mind the app being ready!
I missed you too! I was all set to go, even had my bundle of business cards for you ready, and then I got so caught up putting knick-knacks on my bookshelves that by the time I looked up it was after 8:30. *headdesk* But if you’re planning on going on Sunday, I’ll try and stop by!
May 07, 2014 @ 16:34:43
Sunday is Mother’s Day. I will check to see how I can get my badge number resent. That’s easier. I hope you’ll be there Tuesday. I left yesterday at 8 because of a boring, strict no talking rule.
May 08, 2014 @ 14:41:38
Oops, I forgot… Drat!
No talking rule? Seriously? I’m not saying it should always be like last week with Brian’s story and everything, but we do need some conversation!
May 08, 2014 @ 14:42:52
Seriously. I agree. It was boring so I left. I couldn’t take it.
May 07, 2014 @ 16:13:10
Whoops, previous comments should say some new books and knick-knacks, but it still holds mostly true as is because I have so many knick-knacks it’s ridiculous.
