*Fun blog hop feature hosted
by Parajunkee's View and Alison Can Read*
I'm incredibly excited to have my blog featured this week -- like I'm freaking out!! This is awesome! ANYWAYS, welcome and don't forget to leave your link in a comment so I'll be able to follow you back!
Q: We are about to see a lot of posts & tweets about reader conventions, RT, BEA, ALA and many more are starting soon. Which one would you love to attend and why?
First
off I'd like to say I've never really heard of any of those reader
conventions until now and I must admit I really would love to go to one!
After thorough research I think it'd be amazing to attend BEA which I
now know as Book Expo of America! The list of authors that are going to be there are completely
awesome!! I'd be thrilled to see all the new upcoming titles, and it would be a dream to be able to go and get books signed by a ton of talented writers all in one location! I'm actually super jealous of all the
attendees because I SO want to be them and peek at the new gorgeous books releasing soon, network my blog, meet other
inspiring bloggers, and learn helpful tips
as well as grab some fantastic reads!
What reader conventions are you most looking forward to or wish you could attend? Leave a comment below!
Congrats on being the featured blogger. I would love to go to BEA in New York. It's definitely on my bucket list.

Congrats on being selected! I love The Archers of Avalon books! BEA would be awesome, I am all the way in Seattle so that would be a long, expensive trip. I may have to save for next year :-) Old Follower stopping by
ReplyDeleteChelsea @ Starbucks & Books Obsession
Thanks! :) Yupp those books are amongst my favorites,
DeleteIt's too pricey for me as well otherwise I'd be there in a heartbeat!! Guess I'll just have to read about everyone else having a great time :P I'm hoping next year will be the year I'll get to attend BEA, I only live a state away but it might as well be a country away!!

Congrats on being featured. BEA sure is popular. I'd love to attend, but since I live in Australia, it's a tad too far away.
ReplyDeleteNew Follower via GFC and Linky
You can visit me @ Marilyn's Mystery Blog
Thanks!! In all honesty I'd much rather be in Australia - that's my number one travel destination so I think that beats BEA by a long shot! However, since I can neither afford to go to a convention in NY everything else is also out of the question! But it's nice to think about! :P
DeleteHope you have a fantastic weekend!
& Thank you for stopping by!!

I think BEA would be pretty awesome, but I'd also like to go to Comic Con in San Diego. THAT would be really cool - the mixture of books and nerdy stuff! What more could a girl want?!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on beng the Feature Follow! :)
~Andrea @ Beauty but a Funny Girl
I've always wanted to go to San Diego Comic Con!!! Every year I get so sad that I can't go, I think it'd be one of the best experiences with not only a combination of books but films as well. I'd die to meet some of the actors that attend :P Right! I'd be in heaven with that stuff! I'm suffering right now because Philly Comicon is right around the corner and I can't go!! I live a couple hours away :(
DeleteThanks for stopping by, glad we share similar interests! That's super awesome!!
Have a wicked good weekend!
-Seirra
Congrats on being featured!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to go to BEA too. Kinda feels like it would be a Comic-con type of crazyness.

Attractive blog. I am especially fond of the dot on the far right as a navigating slide. I apparently do not have room in my brain for the finer points of this linky thing. This is my third and final attempt. I would appreciate feedback about which parts I have right and which parts I have wrong. I am of a certain age.
ReplyDeleteLet's make it a mission to attend them someday :)
