Book Expo America and Book Con Wrap Up
/
What a weekend! My feet are sore, my shoulders are bruised from hauling home all my swag, but I was definitely in my element: Surrounded by books and authors willing to hand me books for free.
Most of the panels were things I'd seen before; getting kids to read, visual literacy, digital books and lending, and a host of interesting (and entertaining) authors taking questions from their fans. But my personal goal for his adventure was to bring back more books to review for you all. Boy, did I ever luck out.
Currently, I have 12 titles pending where the authors know to expect a review, and 7 others I'm reviewing just for the heck of it. I'll be posting these as quickly as I can read them so look forward to them!
The highlight was meeting briefly with the two geniuses behind CinemaSins and hearing them talk about how they got started and what upcoming projects they have. They're such down to earth, intelligent, hilarious guys, and it was a pleasure to meet them.
The event was amazing and I look forward to going next year (with better shoes, perhaps?). I can't wait to get to reading all these awesome books and telling you guys all about them!
